[mapguide-users] Loading a large SHP file
HI all, I’m trying to load a relatively large SHP file (140MB) using Studio 2007. Each time I try loading the file using a load procedure, I get an alert popup asking me to package the file using the “File Package Spatial Data …” menu. I tried loading the SHP directly using the “Resources Button” without success as Studio just hangs and never comes back to life. The same think happens when I try using the suggested “Package Spatial Data” functionality. If I look in the folder where the original SHP is located I can see a file with the *.mgp extension with 0kb in size. Also during the packaging procedure an *.idx file is created in the source folder and its size grows regularly up to a certain point. After a while nothing happens and Studio just keeps on hanging… What can I do to load my file into the MGOS Library ? Thanks Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [mapguide-users] Loading a large SHP file
You can try to use it as a unmanaged resource. I have not used the SHP much, but it should be similar to the SDF procedure. You can create a SHP featuresource, using a small file. Then edit the FeatureSource xml, and modify the path to point at your SHP file. You can point the path to your SHP file, outside MapGuide. This approach has pros and cons. Pros include ability to backup the file easily, and shared access. Cons are about the same, depending on what you think is great. You should be able to find examples for the SDF procedure, and customize it for SHP.

[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source version 2.0 installation problem
Dear Colleagues I installed MapGuide Open Source 2.0 (.NET configuration), however after I have finished the installation (also moved the requested dll file), I have noticed that the MapGuide Server service is not active inside the services console. Although I open the service time after time, each time I go out and in from/to the services console I see the MG service is not active, any suggestions to solve this annoying problem ? Of course the diagnostics are not successful as well. Any suggestions to solve this?

[mapguide-users] making progress with postgis connection on ubuntu
Hi all, After having yet another attempt at compiling and installing MGOS on Ubuntu 7.10, including all the various fixes that have been suggested, and the latest svn updates I think I'm making some progress. However, my copy of Autodesk Map Studio isn't working at the moment (crashing with a dotnet error when you try and connect to a server- countless uninstalls don't seem to have helped) so I need to get it working just using mapagent and webstudio. When I run Get Feature Providers in mapagent the postgis provider now comes through with a fully formed entry (it didn't before), and when I run Test Connection I get an error about my connection string being wrong rather than errors about being unable to load the library. I'm taking this a step forward, but I'm kind of stuck as to exactly what the connection string should look like. Can someone either tell me what the connection string should look like for postgis, or send me the xml resource file for a working connection so I can edit it for my setup? Also, I am still unable to make a connection with ogr- I have used the connection string that gives me the correct result for ogrinfo, but get errors for that as well. The string I am using is: PG: host=host user=user password=password dbname=database But this just gives me the error connect failed Many thanks Jo -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/making-progress-with-postgis-connection-on-ubuntu-tp14314885s16610p14314885.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
Re: [mapguide-users] how to create an mgp file?
I have created xml files as you told. But when i try to create unmanaged feature source in web studio its not working. In sample folder sheboygan data itself if i right click and say new feature source then i am able to give some name and its getting saved but there the problem is i am unable to load sdf.

If that is getting saved then only i can assing xml file to that right? or am i wrong? is there anyother way? zspitzer wrote: now it's clearer what you are trying to do! you can use an unmanaged feature source, which means you reference a sdf file on the server which lives outside the repository.. there for you bypass webstudio... the xml looks like, where C is a directory on your server ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?

You can create MGP packages from an entire folder. You can modify the MGP file as a Zip file afterwards. AFAIK, there is no documentation for the MGP format. The format is quite simple, the MGP is a Zip file, which contains all the data, SDF and Xml. There is a manifest file in the MGP, which contains operations executed agains the server. These operations execute the actual data storage of either SDF or Xml data. The SDF files are usually stored as ResourceData on a FeatureSource (Xml).

Konstantinos, VMAP0 data in VPF format is pretty messy to work with. In theory you can build OGR with the OGDI add on driver, and use that to access VPF data like VMAP0. But that would be pretty challenging to get right. Alternatively you could use an existing OGR+OGDI build and ogr2ogr to translate the data you want into shapefiles or something similar that is more accessable. FWTools includes everything you need (http://fwtools.maptools.org) but addressing VMAP0 data is still a bit hard. For a VMAP0 Eurasian CD dataset sitting on disk as /mnt/cdrom/v0eur I would use the following datasource name for OGR: gltp:/vrf/mnt/cdrom/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia If you do an ogrinfo on that you will get layer names like: 1: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_line (Line String) 2: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_text (Point) 3: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_area (Polygon) 4: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_text (Point) 5: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_point (Point) 6: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_line (Line String) 7: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_line (Line String) 8: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_line (Line String) 9: [EMAIL PROTECTED](*)_area (Polygon) ...

RE: [mapguide-users] Adding a Coordinate System to MGE/MGOS
MGE keeps the coordinate system definitions inside the installed Mentor dictionary files which is not stored as OGC WKT. Map is typically the tool used to add new coordinate systems to Mentor dictionary files. MGOS uses PROJ4 and I'm not familiar with adding new coordinate systems to it. However, it is open source so you have full access to it for modifying. MapGuide Studio cannot add new coordinate systems to either MGOS or MGE.
