How good are your python skills? Sounds like a perfect candidate for a new
processing algorithm. QgsStringUtils has methods for performing "fuzzy"
matching of strings, so a lot of the hard work is already done.

[Qgis-user] Fwd: Joining data to a shape file by country name when the names don't match exactly

[Joe Lertola]

Hello.

Today I made a thematic map by joining a list of data that had country names to 
a shape file of world countries. I had to spend a lot of time working in Excel 
to make my data names match the names in the shape file. A lot of them already 
matched but there were many that didn’t. For example the the shape file had 
Ivory Coast and the data had Cte d’Ivoire as the name. Is there any way to do 
this in Qgis instead of Excel? Years ago I recall doing this in ArcMap. There 
was a tool that matched up the data where it could and then for each record 
that wasn’t matched you could choose the matching record manually. Any help 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: [Qgis-user] Corporate Users

We ( as in the municipality of Frederikssund, Denmark) has a medium size 
enterprise installation of Qgis 2.8 at around 100 local installations of 
Qgis 2.8 in a Windows-7 64 bit environment. There is no significant 
problems with this installation.


The largest problem by far was to sift through a mountain sized heap of 
tab files from an older installation of MapInfo and determine which 
should be restructured, cleaned and  imported to our MS-SQLServer based 
database environment.


In the near future - probably a month - We are doing a roll out of Qgis 
2.18 to around 250 Windows workstations using this method:


"https://github.com/Frederikssund/Alternativ-QGIS-installation; (don't 
worry about the Danish readme.md - there is documentation in English too 
;-)


If you have a large amount of different layers / tables, I suggest you 
take a look at the "QLR Browser" plugin. This plugin provides an immense 
help to structure user access to a large number of layers:


And of course: Use a database to store your data. Preferably 
Postgres/PostGIS (Open source and IMHO the most powerful spatial 
database), but MS-SQL Server or Oracle will do If you don't have a 
choice regarding database systems.

Re: [Qgis-user] Corporate Users

[Hillers Heather]

Hello,

I am administering a QGis LTR 2.14 installation for 50 users on a Citrix 
Windows 7 networked environment using OSGeo4W, using OSGeo4W and Oracle as our 
database.  We have been productive since Qgis 2.8.  We started testing at Qgis 
1.8.  My users press All The Buttons, so I feel like I've run into just about 
every problem there is.  I feel like we have a stable productive system.   I'd 
recommend looking at QGIS Enterprise from Sourcepole for support and ease of 
installation.  We didn't go that direction, but I'm still keeping an eye on 
them, and they might be the right solution for you.  Boundless also delivers an 
enterprise solution.  If you have questions about my experience with the 
system,  you can send me an email.

Regards,

Heather Hillers

Re: [Qgis-user] Corporate Users

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hei Grant,

I guess it depends very much on the policies that apply in your company and 
what infrastructure you have: Deployment on workstation (what OS), vs. Server 
deployment or even cloud deployment.
Also which customization you want to apply to your QGIS installation might have 
some implications.

In addidtion to what Paolo was writing, I heard that Citrix has been mentioned 
to be a bit slow. We have relatively good experience with QGIS on an Ubuntu 
Server and x2go. But mostly we use local installations on Windows using a 
custom installer which we create using Paolos recipe here:
https://github.com/faunalia/HealthQGIS/blob/master/packaging/howto.rst
Finally, our IT department add that installer to the Windows software center. 
However, our Windows admins complained about the frequent release cycle and 
required me to drop point releases. While it is an almost one-click action to 
create the installer on Ubuntu it must be some job to put it into the software 
center (but I don`t know that part of the deployment).

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Grant,
in Italy many large administrations are using QGIS on hundreds of installation. 
No special issue that I know of. Install on some environments (e.g. Citrix) has 
proved a bit tricky, but worked well.
Some of them have developed a portable installer for users without admin 
rights. AFAIK they are happy with that.
All the best.

Hi,

Yamaoka's tip is working. In my case QGIS misses MSVCP120.dll every time 
I install or update PGadmin 4.


Hope it helps.

Hi,

You an try Yamaoka's tip, and I had on a Windows 'server' related
problems, and this was fixed by not using the 32bits version of osgeo4w
but the 64bits one.
Not sure if that is related though...

What causes the error? The QGIS project is in EPSG:54009, and either export
to 3857 or to 54009 gives the error above.



The reason lies in the oddity of the Mollweide projection. At full size, 
large parts of the image can be reprojected to a point on the Earth. 
Using gdalwarp, this command line will work:


gdalwarp -overwrite -s_srs EPSG:53009 -t_srs EPSG:3857 infile outfile 
-wo SOURCE_EXTRA=1000


But with On-The-fly-reprojections you can not enter the SOURCE_EXTRA.

If you need a full Earth view, you have to stick to EPSG:4326 or 3857.

BTW Sphere Mollweide EPSG:53009 works far better than World Mollweide 
EPSG:54009 when it comes to reprojections.
