[mapguide-users] Base Layers that are based on Oracle Spatial data

[Jason Birch]

It would be useful to set a property on the layer like InvalidateDate that would force tile-replacement for tiles that are older than that date.  If this feature was available, it would be possible to set up a trigger in Oracle to invalidate the tile cache for affected layers.  I'd prefer this method to just deleting the cache, because of the huge file IO caused by the delete, and because it would reduce fragmentation of the volume.  This would be usable by other external processes, such as daily SDF updates via FME, etc...

As far as I understand it, only changes to the layer or map definitions will be detected. For example change in the styling for the layer. Changes to the actual data in Oracle will not be detected.

	Well, I've been told that Enterprise handles the changes to data that is stored in the repositories.  From my understanding, data that is changed in the repositories will be marked in someway so that the tiles can be rebuilt as needed.    Can someone from Autodesk please clarify this?

	My understanding of the current functionality of base layers is that they don't update themselves based on an underlying data change regardless of the source data type.  This would be up to you to delete the images from your TileCache directory to force them to rebuild the next time somebody viewed that map area.

	Does anyone at Autodesk (or anyone that has tested it already) know if I use Oracle Spatial data for my base layers, will Mapguide Enterprise know about the changes and update the tiles accordingly?   I'm in the process of testing this and just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with it.

	 

	Thanks.
