Creating and setting the nautical product library in a geodatabase in SQL Server Express (Maritime Charting)

This workflow provides steps for creating and configuring a geodatabase to use as a product library and for importing the preconfigured XML workspace that contains all the necessary feature classes and tables that can be used in a desktop environment to manage nautical data and products. The ArcGIS for Maritime:Charting provides a preconfigured product library XML workspace on the Resource Center. It is highly recommended that you use it.

Adding a database server

This section describes how to add a database server connection under the Database Servers node in the Catalog window. This is a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server Express instance set up to store geodatabases.

You will need to install SQL Server Express, if you have not already, and enable it to store geodatabases.

步骤:

1. 启动 ArcMap，打开目录 窗口，然后展开目录树中的“数据库服务器”文件夹。
2. 双击添加数据库服务器。
3. 在添加数据库服务器对话框中，提供数据库服务器的名称。形式为 <服务器名>\<实例名>，其中服务器名是安装 SQL Server Express 的服务器的名称，实例名是 SQL Server Express 实例的名称。

   例如，如果数据库服务器的名称是 SOPHIE\SQLEXPRESS，则 SOPHIE 是服务器名，而 SQLEXPRESS 是实例名。

   如果不确定要使用的名称，可联系数据库服务器管理员来了解此信息。

4. 单击确定。

Creating a geodatabase

The server administrator needs to create an ArcSDE geodatabase for SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS for Server Workgroup or Desktop, which can be used as the product library.

步骤:

1. 以服务器管理员身份登录，启动 ArcMap，然后打开目录 窗口。
2. 在目录树中右键单击要在其中创建新地理数据库的数据库服务器。
3. 单击新建地理数据库。
4. 在地理数据库名称文本框中输入新地理数据库的名称。

   名称必须以字母开头，不能包含空格或特殊字符（如 *、&、!、%、.、+ 或 -），并且与服务器名称组合时最大长度为 31 个字符。

5. 如果要更改数据库文件的位置，请通过单击省略号按钮 (...) 并浏览到相应位置在地理数据库文件文本框中指定新位置。
6. 在初始大小文本框中输入新地理数据库的大小。
7. 从单位下拉菜单中选择 MB 或 GB，或使用默认大小 100 MB。

   无论初始大小如何，地理数据库都会根据需要增大，最大可达到 10 GB。

   注:

   地理数据库的初始大小不能小于 SQL Server Express 实例中模型数据库的大小。模型数据库是所有新数据库的系统模板。模型数据库的大小决定了该 SQL Server Express 实例中创建的任何数据库的最小大小。如果尝试创建小于此最小大小的地理数据库，数据库创建将失败并返回以下错误消息：

   Error creating this geodatabase
   CREATE DATABASE failed. 
   Primary file must be at least <size of model> to accommodate a copy 
   of the model database.

8. 单击确定。

创建数据库文件和地理数据库方案时会显示进度条。完成后，新地理数据库会出现在“内容”选项卡和目录树中。

Creating geodatabase users

The steps below are for creating users for the product library geodatabase in the Catalog window on a database server (an instance of SQL Server Express).

步骤:

1. 以服务器管理员身份登录，启动 ArcMap，然后打开目录 窗口。
2. 右键单击要添加用户或组的数据库服务器。
3. 单击权限。
4. 单击权限对话框中的添加用户。
5. 指定在其中搜索用户或组的位置。

   位置可以是本地计算机或域。

6. 输入要添加的用户或组的名称。可以单击高级按钮进行更具体的查询以找到所需用户。
7. 单击检查名称验证登录名是否有效。
8. 单击确定。

Granting geodatabase permissions

A role needs to be assigned to the users who are going to be working with the product library so they can view or add components, information, and data to the product library. These permissions are at the geodatabase level, assigned separately from the product library permissions. The roles are assigned through the Catalog window as permissions for users who are using a product library stored in SQL Server Express.

User names for the role are required for any users who are going to be working with the product library and need to read from or write to the product library tables and other components. The administrators are considered the owners of the data, so they already have this privilege.

The steps below are for granting roles/permissions on a database server (an instance of SQL Server Express).

步骤:

1. 要授予用户对某一地理数据库的权限，请右键单击该地理数据库。
2. 单击管理，然后单击权限。
3. 从权限对话框中的列表选择所需用户或组。
4. Click the appropriate role:
   • 无 - 未授予对地理数据库或地数据库中的数据集任何特定的访问权限。
   • 只读 - 用户只能查看和选择数据。
   • 读/写 - 用户可以在地理数据库中读取、写入和创建新数据集，也可以读取和写入现有数据集。
   • 系统管理员 - 用户可以在特定的地理数据库中执行管理任务。
   • 服务器管理员 - 此用户可管理数据库服务器。
5. 单击应用。

Importing the product library XML workspace

You can import a product library XML workspace into the geodatabase used as the product library that is preconfigured with the components necessary to start working on nautical products.

The XML workspace contains the standard product library tables. It is also preconfigured with a solution node (Nautical) and many class nodes (ENC, Chart, and so on) and has the unit conversion, Element, and VST tables.

步骤:

1. Unzip the nautical product library file.

   The preconfigured workspace XML for ENC and Chart is available on the Resource Center. There is also one .gdb installed for DNC in the following location, based on your operating system.

   • On Windows XP, browse to <Installation location>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Esri\Production10.2.2\Desktop\ProductLibraryFiles.
   • On Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008, browse to <Installation location>\ProgramData\ESRI\Production10.2.2\Desktop\ProductLibraryFiles.
2. Start ArcCatalog.
3. Expand Database Servers.
4. Double-click the product library administrator connection geodatabase to connect to it.
5. Right-click the geodatabase you just connected to and click Import > XML Workspace Document.
6. Click the Data option if it is not already selected.
7. Select the nautical product library located in the directory from step 1.
8. 单击打开。
9. 单击下一步。
10. 单击完成。

Versioning within the product library

If you manually import the product library tables and feature classes, such as importing an XML file, you need to verify that all the tables and feature classes are registered as versioned. This allows the software to edit the tables as you create and work with your product library. However, you shouldn't create new versions of the product library tables; this can result in inconsistencies within the versions.

步骤:

1. Expand Database Connections in the Catalog Tree window.
2. Double-click the product library administrator connection geodatabase to connect to it.
3. Right-click each feature class in your product library and click Manage > Register as Versioned.

   Do not check the Register the selected objects with the option to move edits to base check box.

4. 单击确定。
5. Right-click within your selected tables and click Manage > Register as Versioned.

   Do not check the Register the selected objects with the option to move edits to base check box.

6. 单击确定。

Defining the product library

The product library location and the properties associated need to be defined in the Product Library window.

步骤:

1. On the menu bar, click Customize > Production > Product Library.
   提示:

   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.

   提示:

   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 product library database.
4. Click Open.

   The Select Product Library Owner dialog box appears.

5. Click the owner and click OK.
6. Click OK when the process completes.

Creating a series

The preconfigured product library contains the solution and three product classes, but you need to create a series to be able to create products.

You need to create at least one series in the product library (in ArcMap) for users to be able to start creating products.

步骤:

1. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
2. If necessary, expand Product Library and Products.
3. Right-click the product class to which you want to add a map or chart series and click New Series.
   提示:

   If you are using field configuration table settings and batch jobs in the NIS geodatabase, you need to create a new series in an NIS product class in the preconfigured product library.

   The New Series dialog box appears.

4. Click the cell next to Name.

   The name is limited to 230 characters. Special characters are not valid entries.

   开始行动:

   Special characters that are invalid include %, \, /, :, *, ?, ', ", <, >, and |.

5. Double-click the existing text and type a name for the map or chart series in the text box.
6. Click the cell next to Alias.
7. Type the name you want displayed in the tree view for the map or chart series.
8. Click the cell next to Description.
9. Type a description for the map or chart series in the text box.
10. Click the cell next to Visible.
11. Click the drop-down arrow and choose an option to indicate whether the map or chart series is going to be visible in the Product Library tree view.

    The default value is False.

    If you are using the 海事制表, choose True.

12. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Administering geodatabase user permissions through the product library

There are different types of geodatabase users such as Data creator and Data editor users. The Data creator user has full access to the product library and the contents within it. To restrict access of the product library to only certain users, your organization needs to create Data editor users and administer permissions through the product library. Data editor users do not have create table privileges and cannot create a product class.

You should add Check Out/Check In user permissions to the Data editor users to be able to create and manage products.

提示:

If you are using field configuration table settings and batch jobs in the NIS geodatabase, you have to assign Edit permissions to the operating system domain users on the series in the NIS product class.

步骤:

1. Navigate to the series level of the product class for which you want to assign permissions.
2. Right-click the series name and click Permissions.

   The Permissions dialog box appears.
3. Click the Permissions drop-down arrow and choose Check Out/Check In permissions for each user.
   提示:

   You can assign permissions to all users at once by clicking the gray cell to the left of First Name, right-clicking anywhere, clicking Permission, then choosing Check Out/Check In.

4. 单击确定。

At the completion of this workflow, you should have created and configured a geodatabase to use as a product library and imported the preconfigured XML workspace that contains all the necessary feature classes and tables that can be used in a desktop environment to manage nautical data and products.
