To get the actual mapping for an existing featuresource, you can
download the Xml for an existing FeatureSource, either in Studio or
through the http interface:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/index.html">http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/index.html</a><br>
Choose the "Resource" and "GetResourceContent"<br>
<br>
The "unmanaged" refers to the fact that the resource files are not
inside the repository.<br>
So, to make the featuresource unmanaged, modify one of the [Parameter
Value] strings to point to an external datasource.<br>

[Name of the provider] is the name of the provider (eg. OSGeo.SDF,
OSGeo.SHP, etc)
To determine what parameters are required. invoke the
GetConnectPropertyValues of the Feature Service in your mapagent.

To use the "unmanaged feature source" feature, you must have a server of
build 1.2 or greater (Enterprise 2008 is roughly 1.2 Beta2).
Sencondly the unmanaged feature is avalible but not displayed in Studio
2007.
You will have to upgrade if you want it displayed in Studio.
You can setup an unmanaged directory, using the "Site Administrator"
(there is a menu for opening the site administrator in Studio).
Once the folder is setup, you can use it from within Studio 2008.
If you use Studio 2007, you must manually edit the FeatureSource xml
file, and change the path to something like:
%MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[name of alias]%/name of datafile.sdf
You will probably have to restart both the server and studio if you add
or remove an alias.
If you don't want the alias option, but just reference data outside of
the repository, you can manually edit the FeatureSource xml, to point at
the correct data.
