Configuring the product instances

The Product Instances pane allows you to define the means of implementing and populating instances in the product class. You can configure the properties in the New Class or the Class Properties dialog box.

The Nautical Solution offers three production environments:

• Enterprise production environment
• Desktop production environment for existing products
• Desktop production environment for creating new products

You can define which production environment you want to use by setting the population method. With the enterprise production environment, data from the central data repository (the NIS) is extracted into a production database, and replicas are created that allow you to synchronize changes from the NIS down to your production database. With the desktop production environment for existing products, you simply implement your instance and import data directly into the product database. With the desktop production environment for creating new products, you run the implement and populate processes on your instance and use the nautical editing tools to compile the data for your new product.

Pasos:

1. Start ArcMap.

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.
