[mapguide-users] how to create an mgp file?

[Zac Spitzer]

now it's clearer what you are trying to do!

you can use an unmanaged feature source, which means you reference a sdf
file on
the server which lives outside the repository.. there for you bypass
webstudio...

the xml looks like, where C is a directory on your server

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="
FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
   <Provider>OSGeo.SDF</Provider>
   <Parameter>
      <Name>File</Name>
      <Value>c:\data\DEMO~GEOMETRY.sdf</Value>
   </Parameter>
   <Parameter>
      <Name>ReadOnly</Name>
      <Value>TRUE</Value>
   </Parameter>
</FeatureSource>

Otherwise you can use the API in .NET, PHP or Java to upload into the
repository
