[MapServer-users] Failed to download capabilities:Download of capabilities failed: Connection on mapfile with more than 1000 layers

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

The time is not a constant (number of layers * x milliseconds). For example, it is faster to generate the layer BoundingBox into GetCapabilities if the wms_extent metadata is set for the layer https://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html but how much faster it is depends on the data source.

I think that instead of 1200 layers you could have just one time enabled layer https://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_time.html.

Great advice, thank you Oskar.

Could you tell me how long it takes to load the WMS into qgis or GetCap with that many layers?
I am also interested in what purpose you are using the WMS with this amount of data. Could you share it? In my case it is daily Sentinel-1 imagery for the whole world from the beginning of 2021.

Merry Christmas to all,
Marcin

Hello!

I have 3234 layers in a service and it works fine. also works fine with
10.000 layers

1 try the getcap in browser
2a if step 1 is success change network timeout in qgis
2b if step 1 does not work change timeouts on server and check mapserver
log
