[mapguide-users] RE: Need an FDO connection...

[Jackie Ng]

Hi Milan,

Try this:

Go to the mapagent page http://<your mapguide site>/mapagent/index.html

Click "Feature" under Services API

Click "GetFeatureProviders" underneath.

You will get an xml description of all available providers. Find the provide
you're after and take note of what connection parameters are available under
the <ConnectionProperties> section

Create an xml file that looks like the following:

<FeatureSource xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
        <Provider>%provider name%</Provider>
	<Parameter>
               <Name>%parameter name%</Name>
               <Value>%parameter value%</Value>
        </Parameter>
        ...
        ...
</FeatureSource>

Fill in the blanks, and upload it to your target feature source using
"SetResource"

Hope that helps.

- Jackie
