[mapguide-users] Configure External Files in Administrator

[Tony Fang]

Andy is correct. Using the "external files/unmanaged feature sources"
and the "old manual way of doing it" is essentially the same thing. 

 

When the server encounters a feature source with external file/unmanaged
data aliases, it replaces it with the actual locations. At this point,
there is no difference between the "external files/unmanaged feature
sources" and the "old manual way of doing it".

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 J

 

 

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?
