NOTE If you are using a previous release (Autodesk MapGuide 2008 or earlier),
you cannot use this command. Instead,
export your map to SDF2 format (page
1469) and send the resulting file to your MapGuide server.
Metadata is not included when you publish to MapGuide. You can export
metdata from the Metadata Viewer
(page 1510).
MapGuide and Joined Data
If you have joined data to layers that you are publishing, you cannot publish
the joined data with this command. The layer will be published, but the joined
data will not. To publish both, save the layer with the joined data to SDF
(which converts the joined data into a flat table) and then publish the resulting
SDF file. This publishes only the data that was on the server at the time you
created the SDF file. The features are no longer connected to the original
databases and data. For more information about saving a layer to SDF, see
Saving or Exporting a Display Manager Layer (page 1469).
MapGuide and SHP or SDF Layers
If your map includes SHP or SDF layers, AutoCAD Map 3D copies the source
files for those layers to the server. If your map includes layers that come from
a central database, AutoCAD Map 3D includes pointers to the original data
stores. If your map includes layers composed of objects from drawing files,
AutoCAD Map 3D copies those objects as high-fidelity DWF files.
