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 authorized 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. Map Serving Products | 37
