Configuration and ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting (Maritime Charting)
Before you can begin using ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting, configuring it requires that the database administrator (DBA) performs several tasks. The following are descriptions of the different sections for configuration.
Setting up the product library
The agency, in conjunction with the IT group's DBA, needs to determine the appropriate database administration system (DBMS) and production environment for the data and products the agency will manage. Once the production environment has been determined, the DBA can set up the product library and load the XML workspace. The product library is where the products can be managed. The following geodatabases are supported.
Setting up the Nautical Information System (NIS) database
If you will be working with an enterprise production environment, the DBA must implement an NIS database. The following geodatabases are supported.
Scale bands XML file
Each hydrographic agency administrator needs to modify the ScaleBands.xml file to reflect the scales of their catalog of digital products. This ensures that the product refresher process references the proper agency-specific scale ranges when features are sent between the NIS and the production databases.
Configuring advanced settings
The Maritime Charting includes a preconfigured product library that contains a model, solution, and product class. However, the DBA or someone with training can work with the advanced settings listed below:
Versioning and archiving data
Several feature classes and tables in each of the nautical data models must have versioning and archiving enabled before editing occurs to track the changes.
