And building mapserver with the ./configure --ignore-missing-data does
not solve this problem? I personally would prefer that these kind of
options reside in the mapfile so you don't have to rebuild mapserver to
turn them on when you forget.
Maybe we need something like:
MAP
CONFIGURE
IGNORE_MISSING_DATA ON
IGNORE_BROKEN_LAYERS ON
...
END
...
END
I think we already have something similar to this but I forget off the
top of my head what the exact syntax is. Regardless of syntax, I do not
think there is support currently for these options.
You might want to open a ticket after the discussion to document the
thread and the request for an enhancement.

I’d also be interested in such a feature. What we’ve done in the past
with a collection of unreliable SDE layers is to create a separate map
file for the layers and use MapScript to see if it opens. If the layers
fail then we turn them off in our main map. I’d like to see the layers
just not draw, maybe with a legend icon denoting that the layer is
unavailable.

*Subject:* [mapserver-users] Skipping layers that fail to load
Hello,
I went through the documentation but did not find a solution for drawing
a map even when some of its layers do not successfully complete. Our
database went down recently and all layers that make database calls
weren't completing and therefore the final map was never generated.
I can manually turn these layers off when it happens, but is there a way
to silently skip the failed layers?
Thanks.
