Setting the WFS Server Preferences
MapInfo Professional has software preferences that let you:
• Use a WFS Refresh option to retrieve updated GML information from the web feature service pertaining
to the current layers.
• Set the default WFS timeout values (in seconds) for the WFS servers you use. You can set per-server
defaults based on particular WFS servers in the Override Timeout Values section of the WFS Services
Preferences dialog box.
• Add, edit, and delete WFS servers.
To set your WFS Server preferences:
1. On the Options menu, point to Preferences and click Web Services to open the Web Services
Preferences dialog box.
2. On the WFS tab, set your WFS refresh, timeout, and server options.
• Update Mapper Filters with Current Mapper - Select this check box to use the current filter
settings to refresh the Map window. If you select this check box and the table has already been
refreshed, the current bounds of the front-most map window are used. If the check box is cleared
and the table is refreshed, the bounds of the map window (at the initial WFS request) are used.
The original map bounds are used, regardless of the current map window bounds. Note:
• Connect Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to establish an Internet connection
to the service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect
time out is 60 seconds.
• Send Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to send an Internet request to the
service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default send time out is
60 seconds.
• Receive Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time begin to receive a response
from a request to the service. The download can take longer than the time out, but the response
has to occur within the timeout setting. The default receive time out is 300 seconds.
• Click the Servers button to display the WFS Servers List dialog box, where you can add, edit,
and delete WFS servers.
3. Click OK to close the dialogs and save your settings.
Setting the WMS Server Preferences
MapInfo Professional has software preferences that let you:
• Set the default WMS timeout values (in seconds) for the WMS servers you use.
• Set the maximum number of pixels (in width/height) that a map request is limited to.
You can set default values for a specific WMS server in the Override Timeout Values and GetMap
Pixel Limits sections of the WMS Server Information dialog box.
To set your WMS Server preferences:
1. On the Options menu, point to Preferences and click Web Services to open the Web Services
Preferences dialog box.
2. On the WMS tab, set your WMS timeout values:
• Connect Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to establish an Internet connection
to the service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect
time out is 60 seconds.
• Send Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to send an Internet request to the
service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default send time out is
60 seconds.
• Receive Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time begin to receive a response
from a request to the service. The download can take longer than the time out, but the response
has to occur within the timeout setting. The default receive time out is 300 seconds.
