When you publish to Autodesk Infrastructure Map Server, you can check the results of the publish operation, including the number of layers that were published and the number that failed.
To resolve Infrastructure Map Server publishing errors
- In the Publish to Map Server Results dialog box, click View Log.
- Examine the log file to see which layers failed and why.
- Resolve the publishing errors in the following ways:
- Errors due to joined data: You can detach the joined data from the layers before publishing to omit that data but still publish the layers. If you must include the joined data, save layers with joined data to 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 server hosting Map 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 To Save or Export a Display Manager Layer.
- 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 server hosting Map 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.
- 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.
- Errors due to invalid characters: Rename the offending files or folders to avoid invalid characters.
