Creating the product library workspace in an enterprise geodatabase (Production Mapping)

After the enterprise geodatabase has been created, various tables and feature classes that are part of the product library schema need to be added to it so it can perform as a product library. This process can be completed in ArcMap.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the menu bar, click Customize > Production > Product Library.
   Tip:

   If the Product Library command is not enabled, you may need to enable the Production Mapping extension by clicking Customize > Extensions and checking the check box for Production Mapping.

   Tip:

   You can also open the window by clicking the Product Library button on the Production Cartography or Production Editing toolbar.

3. Right-click Product Library and click Select Product Library.

   The Choose Product Library Workspace dialog box appears.

4. Navigate to the product library database.
5. Click Open.

   The Select Product Library Owner dialog box appears.

   Note:

   If this is not a new product library, and if an error appears when you choose a geodatabase as the product library, it may need to be compacted or compressed to restore its integrity. Compacting applies to personal and file geodatabases, and compressing applies to enterprise geodatabases.

6. Click the geodatabase owner and click OK.

   The Create Product Library Workspace or the Upgrade Product Library Workspace dialog box appears if the geodatabase does not have all the components necessary to perform as a product library.

7. If necessary, click the drop-down arrow in the Select Configuration Keyword area and choose an option.
8. Click OK.
9. If necessary, click OK when the process completes.

If you also have ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting installed, tables are added to the product library schema that are necessary for nautical production but do not impact non–nautical production.
