Creating and setting the product library as a personal or file geodatabase (Production Mapping)

Using a personal or file geodatabase allows you to create a local database that can be placed on a network location and accessed by a limited number of users. The following process outlines the steps for creating a personal or file geodatabase that can then be used as a product library.

Creating a new personal or file geodatabase

A new personal or file geodatabase needs to be created to be used as the product library.

You can create a new personal or file geodatabase in ArcMap in the Catalog window.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. [標準] ツールバーの [カタログ] ボタン をクリックして、カタログ ウィンドウを開きます。
3. Navigate to the location where you want to create the new geodatabase.
4. Right-click the folder in the Catalog tree where you want to create the new geodatabase, point to New, then click one of the following:
   • Personal Geodatabase—If you want to create a personal geodatabase
   • File Geodatabase—If you want to create a file geodatabase

   A new geodatabase is created in the location you selected.

5. Type the name for the new geodatabase.

   You can also rename the new geodatabase by right-clicking the new geodatabase name and clicking Rename.

Defining the geodatabase as a product library

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

The steps in this section are for defining and the workspace as a product library in ArcMap.

手順:

1. On the menu bar, click Customize → Production → Product Library.
   ヒント:

   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.

   ヒント:

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

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

   The Choose Product Library Workspace dialog box appears.

3. Navigate to the geodatabase that will be used as the product library workspace.
4. Click Open.

   The Select Extensions dialog box appears if you have at least one of the Esri Mapping and Charting Solutions installed and this is the first time you create a product library for this geodatabase.

   If an error occurs during the upgrade process, the workspace may need to be compacted to restore its integrity.

5. If you have at least one of the Esri Mapping and Charting Solutions installed, click the extensions you want this product library to support and click OK.
6. Click the drop-down arrow in the Select Configuration Keyword area and choose an option.
7. [OK] をクリックします。
8. Click OK when the process completes.

If the product library supports at least one of the Esri Mapping and Charting Solutions, it upgrades the tables that are part of the extension listed in the ToolTip. The product library will also display (Missing Extensions) next to Product Library if the product library supports an Esri Mapping and charting solution that is not installed.

Granting permissions to the database

When the product library is a personal or file geodatabase, all users have the same level of access and permissions. Access to the product library is managed by Windows login authentication.

When a nonadministrative user is going to be setting and using the product library database, the system administrator needs to provide the following permissions for that user:

Full Control for the database

Full Control for the directory that contains the database
