[mapguide-users] Scripting the updating of a SHP Feature Source

[GordonL]

I would definitely recommend "Unmanaged".  That way you just need to copy the
SHP into a folder on the server to update it.

Make sure your serverconfig.ini has the following set:
DataConnectionPoolExcludedProviders = OSGeo.SHP

That way there will be no "locks" on the SHP so you can overwrite without a
problem.

To move the file from your desktop to the server is up to you.  

One option is to just copy and paste to the server if the server is on your
network or you can map a drive (i.e. X drive goes to the mapguide server
where you store your Shapefiles)

Another is to set up FTP to your server.

Perhaps DROPBOX with a synchronized folder on both your desktop and the
server?

Many options to get the files on the server, but its best managed with the
"unmanaged" data source in MapGuide.
