Some types of layers, such as query layers or WFS/WMS layers, cannot be uploaded. To create new named layers that will work with the Map Uploader:
  1. Create a native TAB version of the table using the Save Cosmetic Objects command from the MAP tab (MAP > Cosmetic > Save Cosmetic Objects).
  2. Copy the new native table to the server. Like all other tables, the datasource must be accessible to the server via a named connection. So put it in a location under an existing connection or put it somewhere and create a connection to it. (to find location connections point to open the connection's detail page in Spectrum Spatial Manager and look at the "Source Folder" property).
  3. Add the newly created layer to the MapInfo Pro map.
  4. Upload the map.
