[mapguide-users] Connecting to remote files using mapagent [please help]

[Mansoureh Sadrykia]

Hi Jackie,
   
  1. You asked if the remote computer is on the same network as the mapguide server; Do You mean a "LAN", by "network" or
you mean the servers that we add in mapguide site administrator? You know, in my case the remote computers don't have mapguide installed.
  2. Actually I can't add new servers in mapguide site adminstrator,
and I guess that I make a mistake in defining IP addresses. Would you Please explain me how I can give IP addresses to different computers as different servers?
   
3.Would you please explain me more about how to create an unmanaged alias in the 
MapGuide Site Administrator to the network share? 
  Thanks in advance
   
  connecting to remote files using mapguide, please help

Is the remote computer on the same network as the mapguide server? Are the
shp files on a network share? If so you can create an unmanaged alias in the
MapGuide Site Administrator to that network share, and be able to refer to
that alias in your resource documents.

For example if your shp files are located at \\server\shp you can create an
alias "SERVER_SHP" that you can then refer to in your resource xml documents
as %MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[SERVER_SHP]%

So if you have a shp file called foo.shp in that network share you can
create a feature source document that refers to it by creating a document
that look like something below:


xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">

OSGeo.SHP



DefaultFileLocation
%MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[SERVER_SHP]%foo.shp




TemporaryFileLocation





Hope that helps.

- Jackie
