Josh,

Set MS_ERRORFILE as per MS RFC 28 to get debug output <http:// mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-28>. When it queries the REGDIV layer, the SDE debug output should tell you what it thinks the names of the columns are. You should be able to then use that column name for the CLASSITEM.

My installation is working well. I really appreciate all your help :)

I had a quick question about symbolization for SDE layers. I made a sample map file based on my applications existing map file. I update a couple background layers to use our SDE services. Two of three of these layers work well and the third does not draw. This third layer (REGDIV) has a CLASSITEM set and a number of CLASSES defined. There is no error displayed, even with the -map_debug or - all_debug flags set. If I change the layer to use just one default class then the layer draws.

I tried updating my CLASSITEM to use a full path, for example DIVID became GIS.DBO.REGDIV.DIVID but I received the following error:

        C:\ms4w\apps\sdedemo>shp2img -m gp.map -o gp.png
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'REGDIV'. <br> msSDELayerInitItemInfo(): SDE error. A specified CLASSITEM, FILTERITEM, or expression key cannot be found <br>

My Layer looks like this

What am I missing?

Subject: Re: Mapserver SDE 9.2 Question

No, the 9.1 ArcSDE SDK dlls are not sufficient to connect to 9.2 with
the 9.2 plugin.    The plugins are linked against each specific
version of the ArcSDE SDK and have to be matched.  The use of plugins
makes this less obnoxious than it was in the past, which required
swapping out the entire libmap.dll, but it is still some hassle.

The rules for ArcSDE MapServer connections are as follows:
- If you have to connect to both ArcSDE X.1 and X.2 servers, use the
X.2 version of the ArcSDE SDK.  You can usually connect to a X.1
version server with X.2 version client DLLs without ill effect.
- To connect to X.2 servers, you *have* to use X.2 versions of the
ArcSDE SDK.
- Do not use both the X.1 and X.2 versions of the plugins in the same
MapServer map if you have to connect to both X.1 and X.2 version
servers.  Just use X.2.

1.    Make sure the ArcSDE? SDK dlls for 9.1 are available on... But
it doesn't mention arcSDE 9.2 SDK dll's for connecting to a 9.2
service. Are the 9.1 dll's sufficient? I'm just working through my
setup and thought I should clear this up as I go along.  Thanks,
