Registry Structure Changes
In previous releases of Autodesk MapGuide, there were four settings for the
Provider for Oracle Spatial, which applied to any Oracle data source accessed
by the server. All of these settings have been removed. Two of these
(SegmentsPerArc and RadiansPerArcStroke) have been replaced by the arc
parameters described in “Dialog Box Changes” on page 60, which means that
you can now set these parameters indvidually for each data source. The other
two settings (EnableDimensionalityCheck and EnableGeodeticCheck) are no
longer needed because Autodesk MapGuide performs these checks automat-
ically.
Manually Editing a UDL File
The Provider for Oracle Spatial Guide contains instructions about how to
manually edit a UDL file. However, manual editing is no longer recom-
mended.
If you use a text editor to enter values into a UDL file that you cannot enter
using the Data Source Properties dialog box, Autodesk MapGuide, or any
other application that uses UDL files, may not be able to read the file. Also,
if you have changed the parameters to illegal values, you cannot open the
UDL file in the Data Link Properties dialog box by double-clicking.
To avoid these problems, we strongly recommend against manually editing
your UDL files.
