If you are running MGE 2011, you might want to have a look in your installation’s Logs folder: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MapGuideEnterprise2011\Server\Logs If you see a LicenseError.log file you might want to read on. It seems that some installs are writing to a log file named LicenseError.log.  Now writing to a log file isn’t typically a bad thing, but in many instances, it is writing to this file many times a second anytime MGE is being accessed.  As such, this file can rapidly grow in size, and in all likelihood, could be affecting the performance of your MGE. At this time Autodesk is aware of the issue, however, it will require changes to the code to resolve this so there is no ‘fix’ for the issue. One solution I implemented as soon as I encountered this was to create a batch file to delete the LicenseError.log file, and scheduled the batch file to run once a day. Until next time, Take care Warren

Hello everyone, It’s been a while, but I am back!  I’ve recently left my position at IMAGINiT Technologies, and will be moving onto a new opportunity next week. I hope to resurrect this blog and continue to write and report on ‘all things geospatial’. Before I mention the company I am going to, I feel I should verify the companies corporate policies on blogging, so for now, all I can say is that I am going to a company that provides consulting services to the mining industry and my role will be a Senior GIS Consultant.  I am extremely excited about this new opportunity, and looking forward to the challenges ahead. What about some content you say? Alright…  Here is something I’ve found with MapGuide Enterprise & the Fusion Viewer over the last few weeks: I was implementing the Fusion Viewer within a frame based layout and found that there were many instances where the app couldn’t ”find” Fusion when calling out-of-the-box functions.  By that I mean, that the applicatio
