WCS: error on creating large Geotiff fr om ECW

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi Frank,

thanks for the answer. I tried your suggestion, but I did not even get a map
back anymore (I waited for more than 2 minutes). The ECW file used is quite
large though.

Seems like I have to wait for ERMapper's new SDK release .....

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,

I can't think of any obvious reason this would be happening.
Especially why WCS and WMS would react differently in
this regard.

I have run into a few bugs in the last few months that relate
to unusual access patterns to the ECW SDK from GDAL.  Some
of these (or all?) all been fixed by ERMapper and should appear
in their next release.  But I don't know when that will be.

You might have some luck fiddling with the config settings
that can affect the GDAL ECW drivers low level access.
For instance, trying setting the following in your mapfile.

CONFIG "GDAL_FORCE_CACHING" "YES"

This will generally reduce MapServer performance since
the alternative (one big request to the ECW file is usually
faster than many smaller block reads for the cache), but
it might be more stable.

Best regards,
