[mapguide-users] Tips : Error connecting AIMS to SQLSERVER

[David Hequet]

Hi,

Here is two tips about connecting MapGuide / Aims through Sql provider:

1) Error listing Data Store : 

Your username can't connect to all datastore but has "public" role that give
him the right to list all datastore. Don't know why, but MG try to connect
all.
Save your connection with the credentials but not choosing the datastore,
close the editor.
Edit it as xml, add this:

It should work now. 

2) you meet this error when testing connection or try to build a layer :
*Feature Source - expected entity name for reference*

This one was hard to solve, it's password related! The password i was using
contains the "&" character. Since MG use lot of xml, i think the "&" was
breaking an xml string. Avoid it.

I think other chars can break it but didnt try all :p
I didn't try with Oracle, PostGis or other password protected provider, i
think it break it too.

David
