Configuration and the Nautical Solution
Before you can begin using the Nautical Solution, configuring it requires that the database administrator (DBA) and users perform several tasks. The following are descriptions of the different sections for configuration and the persons that are involved.
Setting up the product library
The agency, in conjunction with the IT group's DBA, needs to determine the appropriate database administration system (DBMS) and production environment for the data and products the agency will manage. Once the production environment has been determined, the DBA can set up the product library and load the XML workspace. The product library is where the products can be managed.
Setting up the central database repository
If you will be working with an enterprise production environment, the DBA must implement a central database repository, which is also referred to as setting up the Nautical Information System (NIS) database.
Configuring the desktop client
The DBA or someone with administrator permissions needs to install SQL Server Express where the production databases will reside. Once the DBA configures the product library and the production environment, you must choose a product library from your ArcMap session and define nautical properties.
Configuring advanced settings
The Nautical Solution includes a preconfigured product library that contains a model, solution, and product class. However, the DBA or someone with training can work with the advanced settings listed below:
Versioning and archiving data
Several feature classes and tables in each of the nautical data models must have versioning and archiving enabled before editing occurs to track the changes.
