= !MapGuide RFC 42 - Remove Support Servers = This page contains a change request (RFC) for the !MapGuide Open Source project. More !MapGuide RFCs can be found on the [wiki:MapGuideRfcs RFCs] page. == Status == ||RFC Template Version||(1.0)|| ||Submission Date||December 5, 2007|| ||Last Modified||Trevor Wekel [[Timestamp]]|| ||Author||Trevor Wekel|| ||RFC Status||not ready for review|| ||Implementation Status||not implemented|| ||Proposed Milestone||2.0|| ||Assigned PSC guide(s)|||| ||'''Voting History'''|||| ||+1|||| ||+0|||| ||-0|||| ||-1|||| == Overview == This RFC removes support servers from the !MapGuide Site Administrator. == Motivation == Load balanced site servers provide better scalability and easier setup than separate site and support servers. Furthermore, the site and support server concept is confusing for the user base. == Proposed Solution == Remove the "Add" and "Remove" buttons and the Services column from the Manage Servers page: [[Image(manageservers.PNG)]] [[Image(addserver.PNG)]] [[Image(configureserver.PNG)]] [[Image(serviceinterval.PNG)]] [[Image(configureservices.PNG)]] [[Image(sectionheader.PNG)]] [[Image(configurelogs.PNG)]] [[Image(managelogs.png)]] == Implications == This RFC removes existing functionality. However, site and support servers were difficult to configure and it is unlikely that this functionality is currently in use. == Test Plan == Validate that the Site Admin is still functioning correctly. == Funding/Resources == Autodesk to provide resources / funding.
