[mapguide-users] Configure External Files in Administrator

[Chris Gountanis]

So the unmanaged SHP file feature source issue will follow MGOS 1.2 Beta2
and MapGuide Ent 2008 if not fixed. It is good they have included it in the
new Autodesk Studio. Hope Autodesk helps with the solution here. We have
many ESRI customers that like the looks of MapGuide but do not know what
SDFs are :-)

 

 

Just making sure. thanks!

That's what I've been referring to as unmanaged feature sources all along
and where I have seen the performance problems.  In the Trac ticket, it
looks like you were referring to the old manual way of doing it - but I
believe they are essentially the same thing.  For more info on the newer
functionality, see http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc2 and
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc12

Will those aliases have the same issues with unmanaged SHP files?

I may be wrong on this, but I think you have to also have Studio 2008 beta
in order to see these new features exposed.  When you create a new Data
Connection in Studio, you can now choose the SHP or SDF providers and then
configure that feature source to point to a file or folder.  The files or
folders visible to choose from come directly from external file aliases.

Anyone have any information of links on how to use the section "Configure
External Files" within the MapAdmin pages? I have created one for SHP, SDF
and Raster and when I load Studio I don't see them. How do you use these
feature sources once created as aliases?
