Creating a new data model version

Versions can be added to models as your organization supports changes to a model. When feature datasets are included in the schema file, the feature classes within the dataset are included as part of the data model version.

Steps:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. 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.

  3. Right-click the Product Library icon and click Properties.

    The Product Library Properties dialog box appears.

    NoteNote:

    By default, the Nautical Solution automatically sets a pre-configured file geodatabase product library in the Product Library Workspace property. However, if you need to create your own product library or have an existing product library workspace then continue with the steps.

  4. Click the cell next to Set Tool Options.
  5. Click the drop-down arrow that appears and click the ellipsis (...) next to Data Models.

    The Data Models dialog box appears.

  6. Click New.

    The New Data Model Version dialog box appears.

  7. Click the Data Model drop-down arrow and choose the data model for which you want to create a new version.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, skip this step.

  8. Click New next to the Data Model drop-down list to add a new model and create a version for it.

    The New Data Model dialog box appears.

  9. Fill out the fields to reflect either ENC, AML, or Charting.

  10. Click OK.

    The Data Model portion of the New Data Model dialog box is populated with the name of the model you created.

  11. Click the ellipsis (...) next to the Choose Data Model Workspace text box.

    The Browse to the workspace document dialog box appears.

  12. Navigate to the XML file that corresponds with the data model you chose from the Data Model drop-down.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, browse to one of the following locations:

    • For 32-bit Windows operating systems—<Installation location>\Program Files\ESRI Nautical\<product folder (for example, ENC, AML, or Charting)>\Schema\Workspace
    • For 64-bit Windows operating systems—<Installation location>\Program Files (x86)\ESRI Nautical\<product folder (for example, ENC, AML, or Charting)>\Schema\Workspace

    Choose the NAUTICAL_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML for ENC or NAUTICAL_CHART_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML for Charting. AML has six XML files:

    • NAUTICAL_CLB_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML
    • NAUTICAL_ESB_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML
    • NAUTICAL_LBO_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML
    • NAUTICAL_MFF_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML
    • NAUTICAL_RAL_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML
    • NAUTICAL_SBO_TEMPLATE_GX_10.0.0.0.XML

    The version information at the end of the file name represents the release the model was associated with. It is recommended that you always use the latest version. The first two values, 10, represent the major release value. The second value represents the minor release value. The third value represents the service pack value, and the fourth value represents a patch. For example, 93.0.1.0 represents 9.3 Service Pack 1.

  13. Click Select.

    The New Data Model Version dialog box appears. The path to the XML file you chose appears in the Choose Data Model Workspace field.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, skip steps 14–17.

  14. Double-click the Major text box and type the new major version number you want to assign to the data model.
  15. Double-click the Minor text box and type the new minor version number you want to assign to the data model.
  16. Double-click the Edition text box and type the new edition number you want to assign to the data model.
  17. Double-click the Revision text box and type the new revision number you want to assign to the data model.
  18. Click OK.
    NoteNote:

    It should take approximately 15 minutes to load the ENC data model, closer to 30 minutes for the Chart data model, and 10 minutes for the AML data model.

    The Data Models dialog box appears. The new version you have created appears in the Data Model Version drop-down.

  19. To change the datasets and tables associated with the version, click the Data Model Version drop-down arrow and choose the version you created.
  20. Check the Version check box next to each table and feature dataset you want versioned in an ArcSDE geodatabase.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, check the check box next to the following:

    • Nautical feature dataset
    • PLTS_FREL
    • PLTS_SREL
    • PLTS_COLLECTIONS
    • PLTS_PRODUCT
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_A
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_L
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_P
    • ClosingLinesL

    If you are using the Charting data model, also check the following:

    • CartographicFeatures
    • GRD_Grids
    • Masks
  21. Check the Archive check box next to each table and feature dataset you want to archive.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, check the check box for the following:

    • Nautical feature dataset
    • PLTS_FREL
    • PLTS_SREL
    • PLTS_COLLECTIONS
    • PLTS_PRODUCT
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_A
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_L
    • PLTS_NAUTICAL_DELETES_P
    • ClosingLinesL

    If you are using the Charting data model, also check the following:

    • CartographicFeatures
    • GRD_Grids
    • Masks

    The Data Models dialog box should look like the one below (actual model and version numbers may vary):

    Data Model ID
  22. Click OK to close the Data Models dialog box.
  23. Click OK to close the Product Library Properties dialog box.
