Multiple mgserver processes cannot hit the same dbxml database. I'm pretty sure the first one will have a lock on the underlying files preventing other mgserver processes from connecting to it.
With mg-desktop, all resources and data files sit on the file system (for simplicity of implementation). Resource IDs map to some sort of relative path from your mg-desktop application's directory. I think what you're after is the not very well documented (or explored) load balancing feature where you have one web tier farming out client requests to multiple server tiers in a round-robin fashion. You can get a basic idea of how this is set up in RFC 3 (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc3) Basically install two or more server tier installations (the windows installer may or may not allow you to install server only, haven't tried). Then make a web tier only installation (again this may or may not be possible with the installer) and set its server IP to a comma-delimited list of IPs of the hosts you installed the individual server tiers to. Note the date of that RFC: 2006. Yeah, load balancing to multiple servers is something that MapGuide can do, but we don't know how well it works because we haven't had much good/bad user stories of this feature being used, probably because (I'm guessing) not many people know this capability exists! - Jackie -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MG-Scale-Out-isolating-MG-Repository-out-of-MG-server-process-tp5207766p5207773.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
