Data Upload Guide
This manual shows you how to upload data into TOSCA.
What to check before starting your data upload into TOSCA:
- Make sure your geospatial data is in the folder 'geospatial data folder' below.
- Go to http://localhost:8080/geoserver/web/ to log in to your Geoserver. Your username and password are in the .env file for you to check. It is highly recommended to change the default username and password.
- Once you have logged in, you will notice on the left of the page 'Workspace', 'Store' and 'Layers'. These are the most important things you need for uploading your data.
- To add a group under which you want to different layers (for example, 'Solid_waste_management'), click on 'Workspace'-> 'Add new Workspace' -> Assign a name (eg. 'Solid_waste_management' (make sure there are no spaces in this name)), and copy the same name in 'Namespace URI' -> Save.
- If you refresh your tool (http://localhost:8181/) now, you will see this appear on the left panel. You will notice that there are no layers under it.
- The next step is to add a 'Store'.
- Go to 'Store' -> 'Add new Store' -> Choose your datatype (eg. 'Shapefile')
- Choose a Workspace to which you want to add the layer.
Give a name to the layer under 'Data source name' and 'Description'.
- Click on 'Shapefile location' -> Browse
- Choose '' -> '\mnt'
- Choose the layer you want to add
- Once you have added your layer, you can choose if you want to publish it right away, or later. To publish your layer, click on 'Publish'.
- Go down to 'Bounding boxes'-> Under 'Native bounding box', click on 'compute from data' -> Under 'Lat/Lon Bounding box' click on 'compute from native bonds' -> Click save.
- refresh your tool, your layer should appear under your chosen Workspace.
