My default install of MGE(server and Web tier) is on C drive with 3 gb free
space and now I want to set up a layer of orthophotos in ECW with a total
size of 3.5 gb (170 ecw files). I know I can not load the ecw files into the
repository of the default install on my C drive simply because of the space
limit and a max of 2 gb limit for a package file through Studio.
If I don't want to change my default install (to d drive which has 150 gb
space) now, how could I make the ecw files of 3.5 gb as a feature source in
MGE repository but pointing to a file folder having the 3.5 gb ecw files on
my d drive? I read about this workaround for SDF and SHP files:
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=321
I tried the method suggested with this content text file:
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
Autodesk.Raster.3.1
DefaultFileLocation
D:\orthophotos\1-6000-ECW
ReadOnly
TRUE
But it seems this setup via Admin still needs to load the ecw files from d
drive to the c drive repository in order to make them available for a layer,
which means this method does not work for me.
Packaging the 3.5 gb ecw files failed too because of the 2gb limit for this
process even though with Admin I could reconfigure the package dir from c to
d drive.
Do I have any other workarounds than reinstalling the server repository to d
drive in order to overcome the space limit problems for big image files?
Thanks
