[mapserver-users] Parameterized MapFile using CGI variable

[Nicolas BOUTET]

Dear All,

 

I have 2 MapServer servers. One for Production use, and the other for
Validation use.

The MAP files placed on those servers are similar except that each server
has a different Oracle database as datasource.

For now, I have some different CONNECTION values depending if the map file
is on the Production or on the Validation server. So finally I must have
different MAP files.

 

Is there a way to have exactly the same map files on the 2 servers, and to
use a variable to parameterize the CONNECTION.

 

For example, I would like to set the CONNECTION of my layers to
"%ORACLECONNECTIONSTRING%" and to set a CGI Environment variable named
ORACLECONNECTIONSTRING to the correct value on each server. 

 

Nicolas
