Exporting AIXM data using geoprocessing

This topic applies to ArcInfo only.

The Export AIS to AIXM tool supports the most robust AIXM 4.5 data available and is based on the rules and relationships set by the AICM/AIXM 4.5 standards. The Export AIS to AIXM tool allows you to create an AIXM 4.5 XML message from your geodatabase. This gives you the ability to manage and share your aeronautical data by using the Aeronautical Solution.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap or ArcCatalog.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Extensions and make sure that the Data Interoperability extension is checked.
3. Make sure that an appropriate ArcSDE geodatabase is available.
4. Click the ArcToolbox Window button on the Standard toolbar.

   The ArcToolbox window appears.

5. Expand the tree view next to Aeronautical Tools > Data Exchange.
6. Double-click the Export AIS to AIXM tool.

8. Click Save.
9. Click the Attribute Schema Mapper browse button and browse to <Install location>\ESRIAeronautical\Desktop10.0\DataConversion\AIS\SchemaMapper.

    • ESRItoAIXM_Oracle_Attribute.csv—If exporting from an Oracle geodatabase
    • ESRItoAIXM_SQLServer_Attribute.csv—If exporting from a SQL geodatabase
