Creating and configuring a BIS workspace in SQL Server (Bathymetry Solution)
This workflow guides you on how to create and configure a BIS workspace in a geodatabase in SQL Server.
Creating an enterprise geodatabase
The server administrator needs to create a new geodatabase in SQL Server that can be used as the BIS workspace.
Recommendations for geodatabases in SQL Server
It is recommended that the following parameter values are used when creating an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server.
Parameter name | Value |
|---|---|
Server Memory: Use AWE to allocate memory | Enabled |
Processors: Boost SQL Server Priority | Enabled |
Security SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode | Enabled |
Connections: Maximum number of concurrent connections | 0 = unlimited |
Connections: Allow remote connections to this server | Enabled |
Configuring the geodatabase in ArcSDE
The DBMS used for the geodatabase should be configured before the BIS workspace is set up with the default geometry storage.
For more information, see Geodatabase storage in relational databases or The SERVER_CONFIG system table.
All default serverconfig settings should be used. However, if users will connect to the enterprise geodatabase, make sure the TCPKEEPALIVE value is set to TRUE (1). This command should be used from the command prompt of a machine where the ArcSDE application server or the ArcSDE command line tools are installed.
Note:Copying and pasting the example may cause syntax errors.
sdeconfig -o alter -v TCPKEEPALIVE=TRUE -i sde:sqlserver:<database_name>\SQLSERVER -u sde -p <sde_password>
For more information, see the ArcSDE Administration Command Reference, which is included with the ArcSDE application server installation.
