MapManager (Gisinternals) - INCLUDES

Geographic Information Systems Asked by ousekmatej on September 26, 2021

Does anybody have any experience with using Mapmanager to manage their MapServer mapfiles? My question is specifically about using INCLUDES in mapfiles. Since having an INCLUDE in a mapfile results in error message saying "Unable to access file. Error opening included file". Which leads me to believe it is supported and I am probably just doing something wrong.

Edit:
Tried using both relative and absolute path. The way I have my mapfiles is that I have them split multiple separate files MAP – contains the main map tags, LAYER – contains all the data, styles etc., CONFIG – contains any other potential information like db connection. MAP reads LAYER & CONFIG files using INCLUDE. By themselves it works. But when I import the MAP file into mapmanager I get the error message. Any advice or tip on how to get around this would be greatly appreciated.

One Answer

As far as I can see MapManager doesn't really handle INCLUDE files. You can open a map file with INCLUDES if you supply full paths like below (no relative paths worked for me)

"C:appsMapManagertemplatessymbols.sym"

BUT

Once opened the resultant map file used by MapManager includes all the included content. That is you have one map file, not a map file that includes other map files.
