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:

Manage Servers Dialog

Remove the "Add Server" page:

Add Server Dialog

On the "Configure Server" page, remove "Name" and the combo box, and the "Services" check boxes:

Configure Server Dialog

Also remove the "Services registration timer interval".

Service Interval

For the "Configure Services" page, remove "Server" and combo box:

Configure Services Dialog

Also remove the enabled flag from the section headers:

Section Header

Under the "Configure Logs" page, remove "Server" and combo box:

Configure Logs Dialog

Under the "Manage Logs" page, remove "Server" and combo box:

Manage Logs Dialog

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.
