SDF format (which converts the join into a flat table), remove the
layers from the map (turning them off is not sufficient), and publish
the resulting map. Then copy the SDF containing the joined data layer
to the MapGuide server. This places a “static” copy of the data on the
server (the features no longer point to the original databases and data).
You must reconstruct the map on the server to add the SDF layer back
in. For information on how to save a layer to SDF, see
Saving or
Exporting a Display Manager Layer
(page 1469).
■ Errors resulting from layers without assigned coordinate systems:
Display the Data Connect dialog box, select the data source whose
layers are missing a coordinate system, and click Edit Coordinate
Systems. Click Edit and select a coordinate system. Click OK in both
dialog boxes to apply your changes.
■ ODBC DSN errors: If feature sources in the map use an ODBC DSN
(Data Source Name) on the local computer, the DSN must exist on
the machine where the server resides, and it must have the same name
as the DSN on the local machine.
■ Errors related to missing provider components on the server: If you
publish a map layer from a provider that requires software or
components, such as an Oracle database, ArcSDE data source, SQL
server, or a third-party database provider you set up, you must install
that software on the MapGuide server and configure it correctly. For
example, if you publish a layer from an Oracle database, you must
install the Oracle client on the server.
NOTE MapGuide Enterprise installs some provider support automatically,
while the open source version does not. However, in both cases, you will
need to install components for some providers.
■ Errors due to a failure to determine the source data type or read the
configuration file: These errors are usually the result of using data
from third-party FDO Providers. Contact Autodesk technical support,
or the support group for the FDO Provider you are using.
■ Errors due to existing files on the server: If you specified that this
publish operation should stop if it encounters existing files with the
same names as new ones, and if those files exist, you can either remove
the existing files from the server or change the publishing options to
overwrite the existing files. For more information, see
Publishing to
MapGuide
(page 1376).
