[mapguide-users] New configuration problems

[Trevor Wekel]

Loading large resouces directly though Autodesk MapGuide Studio can be
problematic.  The "hang" is probably due to the lengthy data transfer
procedure.  First, Studio uses HTTP post to upload the entire resource
to the web server.  The web server then transfers the resource to the
MapGuide Server.  Finally, the MapGuide Server loads the resource.
 
Even with all components (Studio, Web, Server) on the same machine, this
whole process can take a significant amount of time.  I have often seen
"effective" load rates in the 3-5 MB/second range.  For a 150MB SHP
file, is is reasonable to assume that it could take more than a minute
to move the data around.  If any of the components time out during this
period, the load will fail.
 
There is a better solution - Packages
 
1. In MapGuide Studio, instead of pressing the "Load Resources" button,
use File... Package Spatial Data...   This will create an mgp package
containing all of the data described in the Load Procedure.
 
2.  Copy the mgp package from the Studio machine to the Server machine
and place it in the MapGuideOpenSource/Server/Packages directory.
 
3. Start Server Admin (http://localhost/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php) and
go to the Load Packages page.  The mgp package should appear in the
table and can be loaded using the Load Package link at the top of the
table.
 
 
 
Hope this helps,
 
Trevor Wekel

This issue was discussed in the older mse-users archive which has not
been transferred to the new osgeo users archive.  Hopefully it will be
some day.  You can still access the older archives at:
http://lists.mapserverfoundation.org/pipermail/mse-users/.  
 
For publishing your maps via embedding in an HTML file and establishing
a session based on a user programmatically, see the example applications
which do exactly this.

This problem/behavior with large file was with earlier release too. And
it is not yet fixed, I think, because it happens with large files with
1.0 too. A workaround was suggested, you may want to search the archive.

Bob,
 
I'm not sure where to pose this question - but I'm attempting to load a
145mb shape file (my parcel layer) - and it hangs and hangs and hangs
and hangs - then - eventually returns back error free, but the layer
isn't there.  I've attempted the load several times all with the same
results. 
 
Also - although I haven't fought very much with this issue yet (and it's
fairly insignificant if I can't get my parcel layer to load) - how do I
make the map published in such a way that it doesn't require
challenge/response.  I know this is probably some strange security issue
within IIS, but the permissions appear correct.  
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
