MapAgent
®
Autodesk MapGuide Server Agent (or MapAgent) is an interface between
your Web server and Autodesk MapGuide Server. It receives requests for map
data from Autodesk MapGuide Author or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer via a
Web server. The MapAgent processes the requests as they are received and
passes them to Autodesk MapGuide Server. There are three different
MapAgent files that you can use with Autodesk MapGuide Server; for more
information, see "Which MapAgent to Install" on page 54.
Server Service
Autodesk MapGuide Server Service is a Windows NT/2000 service that
receives and processes the requests for map data distributed by the
MapAgent, formats the data as requested by the map layer, and then sends
the data back through the MapAgent across the Web to Autodesk MapGuide
Author or Autodesk MapGuide Viewer.
Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin
Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin gives you complete operational control
over Autodesk MapGuide Server. You can set security, generate log files,
configure data source directories and database access, and start and stop the
server.

Autodesk MapGuide Data Providers

Autodesk MapGuide data providers enable Autodesk MapGuide to serve
spatial and attribute data directly from a variety of traditional GIS, CAD, or
relational spatial databases. When you use an Autodesk MapGuide data
provider, you do not need to convert data to SDF format to use it with
Autodesk MapGuide. You can purchase Autodesk MapGuide data providers
® ™ ™
for Autodesk GIS Design Server, SHP, and Oracle8i and Oracle9i Spatial
data. For information about these data providers, contact your nearest autho-
rized Autodesk reseller. If you are not accessing spatial data through a data
provider, you will need to convert your data into one of the supported
formats.
