[mapguide-users] MgCooker(Maestro MGOS3) Override Bounds not functioning for Tile Set Definitions

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping to target an area in a tile set definition using override bounds to speed up tile generation for our users. I have the use of MG Studio/AIMS as well but it doesn't support tile set definitions in at least in 2016.

If the corresponding tool to MG Studio's "Define Bounding Area" for a tile cache is "Override Bounds" in MGCooker then it doesn't appear to be doing the same thing in MGOS3. More specifically, it doesn't appear to be able to specify a targeted area for building tiles that are more frequently used instead of all tiles. If I use MG Studio 2016 and save a .bat script I can see the parameter --extent at the end of the line. This parameter is respected in AIMS and only builds tiles in my declared bounds properly. If I do the same in MgCooker (Maestro 5 & 6) I cannot get the --extent parameter in the .bat for my inline or external tiles. Writing in the --extent parameter in the .bat for a tile set definition still doesn't narrow down my tile generation by use of bounds in MGOS3.

Based on the Trac notes I cannot determine if changeset 8118 resolves ticket #1999 or not and in what MG version this is supposed to be fixed?

I am using Maestro 5.1.0.7970 & 6.0.0.8587,MGOS3, Windows 2008R2 SP1, .NET etc.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Regards,

Tim

This will be fixed with the 6.0m6 release.

Or you can try out the bleeding edge builds from AppVeyor.
