Import AIXM to AIS (Aeronautical)
Summary
Imports Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) data into an Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase. The tool decodes the rules and relationships defined in an AIXM 4.5 XML message and re-creates them in the AIS data model. AIXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AIXM XML schema.
Usage
-
This tool requires the Data Interoperability extension. Activate the Data Interoperability extension through the ArcGIS Customize > Extensions dialog box.
You can customize this tool. Right-click the tool in the ArcToolbox window and click Edit. The tool will open in the Data Interoperability Workbench.
This tool uses the Attribute Schema Mapper parameter to map AIXM elements to AIS attributes. Attribute Schema Mapper is a path to a .csv file that lists attribute mapping between the data models. You can use .csv files provided with the ESRI Aeronautical Solution. These files are installed in the ESRIAeronautical\Desktop10.0\DataConversion\AIXM\SchemaMapper folder.
You can use the Subtype Schema Mapper parameter to map AICM features to subtypes in geodatabase feature classes. Subtype Schema Mapper is a path to a .csv file that lists the feature to subtype mapping. You can use example .csv files installed in ESRIAeronautical\Desktop10.0\DataConversion\AIXM\SchemaMapper.
This tool requires an ArcSDE geodatabase with the AIS schema. Use this geodatabase name in the Destination Enterprise Geodatabase parameter. This is the name of the geodatabase where the tool will create data.
All feature classes in the Destination Enterprise Geodatabase must be registered as versioned. The tool starts an edit session and writes into the geodatabase.
This tool always runs in foreground mode. If you run this tool with Background Processing checked, the tool will automatically switch to foreground processing.
This tool is memory intensive. Contact ESRI If you experience difficulties importing large files (200MB or more) using the ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension.
