Setting up the product library in an ArcSDE environment

This workflow provides steps for creating and configuring a geodatabase as a product library that can be used in an enterprise ArcSDE environment to manage data and products. If you do not want to create your own product library for nautical products, you can import the preconfigured nautical product library XML workspace installed with the solution.

Two different procedures are used to create and set up an ArcSDE geodatabase for the product library. One is used for setting up the product library on an ArcSDE geodatabase for Microsoft SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS Desktop (instance of SQL Server Express). The other is used for setting up the product library on an ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise. The steps in this workflow are for setting up the product library on an ArcSDE geodatabase for Microsoft SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS Desktop, but additional information and links are provided for setting up the product library on an ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise.

Adding a database server

This section describes how to add a database server connection under the Database Servers node in the Catalog window. This is a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server Express instance set up to store geodatabases. You can skip this section if you are using Oracle, SQL Server Enterprise, or another ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise to store the geodatabase you are using as the product library.

You will need to install SQL Server Express, if you have not already, and enable it to store geodatabases.

步骤:
  1. 启动 ArcMap，打开 Catalog 窗口，然后展开 Catalog 目录树中的“数据库服务器”节点。
  2. 双击添加数据库服务器。
  3. In the Add Database Server dialog box, provide the name of the ArcSDE database server.

    This is in the form <server_name>\<instance_name>, where the server name is the name of the server on which SQL Server Express is installed, and the instance name is the name of the SQL Server Express instance.

    An example would be a case where a database server is named SOPHIE\SQLEXPRESS, SOPHIE is the server name, and SQLEXPRESS is the instance name. Using 127.0.01 for the server name will avoid sourcing issues if multiple users are going to be accessing the product library.

  4. 单击确定。

    5. 服务器图标显示在 Catalog 目录树的数据库服务器下。

    提示提示:
    如果添加数据库服务器后 Catalog 目录树中出现的服务器图标上方带有白色空白方块，则说明已添加数据库服务器但其状态未知。尝试双击它以进行连接。如果无法连接，应向该数据库服务器的管理员咨询 SQL Server Express 实例是否正在运行且已连接到网络，以及您对该数据库服务器具有哪种类型的权限。

Creating the administrator database connection

If the product library is stored in an ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise, you need to create an administrator database connection. If your product library is stored in SQL Server Express, you can skip this section, since you only need to add a database server connection (first section of this workflow).

If you want to create a database connection for SQL Server, go to Making a direct connection from ArcGIS Desktop to a geodatabase in SQL Server. If you want to create a database connection for Oracle, go to Making a direct connection from ArcGIS Desktop to a geodatabase in Oracle.

Creating an ArcSDE geodatabase

The server administrator needs to create a new geodatabase from Oracle, SQL Server, SQL Server Express, or another enterprise database management system (DBMS) that can be used as the product library. The steps in this section are for creating an ArcSDE geodatabase for Microsoft SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS Desktop (SQL Server Express geodatabase). If you want to create a geodatabase from Oracle, SQL Server, or another ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise, see the following topics for information:

Recommendations for Oracle databases

It is recommended that you ensure that the following parameter values are used when creating an Oracle database:

Parameter name

Value

Configure with Database Enterprise Manager

Enabled

Shared memory management

AUTOMATIC

Character Sets

Unicode (AL32UTF8)

OPEN_CURSORS

2000–10000

SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS

50–150

pre_page_sge

True
Oracle parameters for product library

When using product library in the Nautical Solution, for each check-in process, it writes a sizable amount of data that includes the MDF and MXD files into the product library table space. It is highly recommended that you manage the growth of this table space. The size of the product library table space depends on the number of products and the frequency of changes to the product in the product library. Ideally, keep 6 GB of space for the initial size and increase it in 3 GB chunk data files. Set the AUTOEXTEND parameter of the table space to true to allow the table space to automatically extend the data file when it becomes full. If the product library table space is full, you may get errors while running nautical processes such as populate, apply changes, and check in products.

The steps below are for creating an ArcSDE geodatabase for Microsoft SQL Server Express licensed for ArcGIS Desktop (an instance of SQL Server Express).

步骤:
  1. 以服务器管理员身份登录，启动 ArcMap，然后打开目录 窗口。
  2. 在 Catalog 目录树中右键单击要在其中创建新地理数据库的数据库服务器。
  3. 单击新建地理数据库。
  4. 在地理数据库名称文本框中输入新地理数据库的名称。

    名称必须以字母开头，不能包含空格或特殊字符（如 #、@ 或 *），并且与服务器名称组合时最大长度为 31 个字符。

  5. 如果要更改数据库文件的位置，请通过单击省略号按钮 (...) 并浏览到相应位置在地理数据库文件文本框中指定新位置。
  6. 在初始大小文本框中输入新地理数据库的大小。
  7. 从单位下拉菜单中选择 MB 或 GB，或使用默认大小 100 MB。

    无论初始大小如何，地理数据库都会根据需要增大，最大可达到 4 GB。

    注意注意:

    地理数据库的初始大小不能小于 SQL Server Express 实例中模型数据库的大小。模型数据库是所有新数据库的系统模板。模型数据库的大小决定了该 SQL Server Express 实例中创建的任何数据库的最小大小。如果尝试创建小于此最小大小的地理数据库，数据库创建将失败并返回以下错误消息：

    创建此地理数据库时出错，CREATE DATABASE 命令失败。主文件至少必须为 <模型大小> 才能容纳模型数据库的副本。

  8. Click OK.

    9. 创建数据库文件和地理数据库架构时会显示进度条。完成后，新地理数据库会出现在“内容”选项卡和 Catalog 目录树中。

  6. 输入要添加的用户或组的名称。可以单击高级按钮进行更具体的查询以找到所需用户。
  7. 单击检查名称验证登录名是否有效。
  8. Click OK.

Granting geodatabase roles/permissions

A role needs to be assigned to the users that are going to be working with the product library so they can view or add components, information, and data to the product library. These permissions are at the geodatabase level, assigned separately from the product library permissions. The roles are assigned through ArcCatalog as permissions for users that are using a product library stored in SQL Server Express or SQL Server. For Oracle and any other ArcSDE geodatabase licensed for ArcGIS Server Enterprise, the role CKB_USERS must be created for the users to be recognized by the product library. This can be done by using the following statement:

CREATE ROLE CKB_USERS NOT IDENTIFIED

User names for the role are required for any users who are going to be working with the product library and need to read from or write to the product library tables and other components. The administrators are considered the owners of the data, so they already have this privilege.

Below are suggested user names and the permissions required for each level for Oracle (and SQL Server if using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express).

For product library administrators, the following is suggested:

User type

Role

Oracle permissions

SQL Server permissions

Data owner

CONNECT

  • CREATE PROCEDURE
  • CREATE SEQUENCE
  • CREATE SESSION
  • CREATE TRIGGER
  • CREATE VIEW
  • CREATE TABLE

  • CREATE TABLE
  • CREATE VIEW
  • CREATE PROCEDURE
Administrator permissions

For product library editors, the following is suggested:

User type

Role

Oracle permissions

SQL Server permissions

Data editor/Data viewer

  • CONNECT
  • CKB_USERS

    • 系统管理员 - 用户可以在特定的地理数据库中执行管理任务。
    • 服务器管理员 - 此用户可管理数据库服务器。
  5. Click Apply.

Configuring the database in ArcSDE

You need to configure the MAXBLOBSIZE and TCPKEEPALIVE parameters for the ArcSDE geodatabase used as the product library. The product library can be set up in a central or local geodatabase. A central geodatabase is usually an ArcSDE geodatabase with Oracle, SQL Server, SQL Server Express, or another enterprise DBMS installed. A local geodatabase is usually an ArcSDE geodatabase with SQL Server Express installed locally to house and manage the product library.

The DBMS used for the geodatabase should be configured before the product library is set up with the default geometry storage. See geodatabase storage in relational databases or geodatabase parameters for more information.

The MAXBLOBSIZE value is -1 by default. However, if you are using Oracle or another enterprise DBMS, make sure that this value is set to -1 and the TCPKEEPALIVE value is set to 1. This command should be used from the command prompt of a machine where ArcSDE is installed.

For example:

sdeconfig -o alter -v MAXBLOBSIZE=-1-i <service> -u sde -p <sde_password>

For more information, see the ArcSDE Administration Command Reference.

You can download a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the book from the ESRI Support Center Web site (login required): ArcSDE Server documentation

注意注意:

The ArcSDE documentation refers to the parameter name as Property Name in the command line examples.

Use the steps below if you are using SQL Server Express or SQL Server to configure the MAXBLOBSIZE and TCPKEEPALIVE parameters.

步骤:
  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio Express.
  2. Click Connect on the Connect to Server dialog box that appears.
  3. Expand Databases, the geodatabase you are using for the product library, and Tables.
  4. Right-click the SDE_server_config table and click Edit Top 200 rows.
  5. Find MAXBLOBSIZE in the prop_name field and change it to -1 in the num_prop_value field if it is another value.
  6. Find TCPKEEPALIVE in the prop_name field and change it from 0 to 1 in the num_prop_value field.
    警告警告:

    If you are using a local geodatabase and you modify the parameters while the Catalog window is open, you need to refresh (or disconnect and reconnect to) your SQL Server Express instance to confirm that the geodatabase has the new settings. You can right-click the database server and click Refresh.

  7. Close SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Defining and upgrading the geodatabase as a product library

After the geodatabase has been created, various tables and feature classes that are part of the product library need to be added to it. This process can be completed in ArcMap.

The steps in this section are for defining and upgrading the geodatabase as a product library in ArcMap.

步骤:
  1. Start ArcMap.
    提示提示:

    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.

  2. On the main menu, click Customize > Production > Production Properties.

    The Production Properties dialog box appears.

  3. If necessary, click Data Management.
    Data Management pane on the Production Properties dialog box
  4. Click the cell next to Workspace in the Product Library section and click the ellipsis (...) that appears.

    The Please browse to the location of the Product Library Workspace dialog box appears.

  5. Navigate to the product library database.

  7. Click Yes to upgrade the geodatabase you want to use as the product library.

    The Product Library Workspace Upgrade window appears and displays a progress bar while the geodatabase is updated. The Production Properties dialog box appears once the process is complete.

  8. Click OK.

Adding required tables to the product library geodatabase

Since you are not using the preconfigured nautical product library, you need to copy the PLTS_UCE_ and ELM_ tables into the new product library geodatabase you created. The PLTS_UCE_ tables are used for rounding rules, unit conversions, and so on. ELM_ tables are used for database elements in cartographic production.

Creating a personal or file geodatabase

You need to create a personal or file geodatabase to import the preconfigured product library and copy the required tables from it.

步骤:
  1. Click the Catalog window button Catalog 窗口 on the Standard toolbar in ArcMap.
  2. Expand:
    • Database Connections if using an Oracle, SQL Server, or another enterprise geodatabase
    • Database Servers if using a SQL Server Express geodatabase
  3. Right-click the folder in the Catalog tree where you want to create the new geodatabase, point to New, then click one of the following:
    • Personal Geodatabase—If you want to create a personal geodatabase
    • File Geodatabase—If you want to create a file geodatabase

    ArcCatalog creates a new geodatabase in the location you selected.

  4. Type the name for the new geodatabase.
    提示提示:

    You can also rename the new geodatabase by right-clicking the new geodatabase name and clicking Rename.

Importing the Product Library XML workspace for the Nautical Solution

Once you have created a personal or file geodatabase, you can import the preconfigured product library.

步骤:
  1. Expand:
    • Database Connections if using an Oracle, SQL Server, or another enterprise geodatabase
    • Database Servers if using a SQL Server Express geodatabase
  2. Double-click the product library administrator connection geodatabase to connect to it.
  3. Right-click the geodatabase you just connected to and click Import > XML Workspace Document.
  4. Click the Data option if necessary.
  5. If you are trying to set up the product library for ENC and Chart products, perform the following sub steps:
    1. Browse to the appropriate location:
      • On Windows XP, browse to <Installation location>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESRI\Production10.0\ProductLibraryFiles
      • On Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008, browse to <Installation location>\Documents and Settings\All Users\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Production10.0\ProductLibraryFiles
    2. Unzip the NAUTICAL_PRODUCT_LIBRARY_V10.0.0.0_GX.XML.ZIP file.
    3. open NAUTICAL_PRODUCT_LIBRARY_V10.0.0.0_GX.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.

    For AML products, the AML_PRODUCT_LIBRARY_V10000000_GX.XML.ZIP file should be used.

  6. Click Next and click Finish.

    The XML will take a few minutes to import.

Copying the tables into the product library geodatabase

You will need to copy the required tables from the preconfigured product library into the product library geodatabase you created.

步骤:
  1. Click the personal or file geodatabase to view its contents.
  2. Select the following tables:
    • PLTS_UCE_MAPPINGS
    • PLTS_UCE_CONVERSIONS
    • PLTS_UCE_ROUNDINGRULES
    • ELM_CATEGORIES
    • ELM_ELEMENTS
    • ELM_PRODUCTS
    • ELM_SOLUTIONS
  3. Right-click all the selected tables and click Copy.
  4. Navigate to the destination product library geodatabase.
  5. Right-click and click Paste.

Granting privileges to product library components

All the tables in the product library need to have read/write privileges assigned to them, except the PCAT_PERMISSION table. The PCAT_PERMISSION table only needs read privileges assigned to it.

The permissions need to be assigned to the CKB_USERS role.

Both the administrator and other user accounts in the underlying database management system should have appropriate privileges and roles assigned to them. When you set up your connection to your spatial database, ensure that you are connecting as the appropriate user.

步骤:
  1. Start ArcCatalog.
  2. Expand one of the following:
    • Database Servers if using a SQL Server Express geodatabase
    • Database Connections if using an Oracle, SQL Server, or other enterprise geodatabase
  3. Double-click the product library administrator connection geodatabase to connect to it.
  4. Select all tables except PCAT_PERMISSION, right-click, then click Privileges.
  5. Type CKB_USERS into the text box on the Privileges dialog box.
  6. Check the check boxes next to SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE.
  7. Click OK.

  9. Type CKB_USERS into the text box on the Privileges dialog box.
  10. Check the check box next to SELECT.
  11. Click OK.

Versioning within product library

You need to register product library components for versioning to allow them to be editable.

You need to register the product library feature classes and tables for versioning.

步骤:
  1. Start ArcCatalog.
  2. Expand one of the following:
    • Database Servers if using a SQL Server Express geodatabase
    • Database Connections if using an Oracle, SQL Server, or other enterprise geodatabase
  3. Double-click the product library administrator connection geodatabase to connect to it.
  4. Right-click each feature class in your product library and choose Register as Versioned.

    Do not check the Register the selected objects with the option to move edits to base check box.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Right-click each table in your product library and choose Register as Versioned.

    If you are using the Nautical Solution, do not register the following tables as versioned:

    • ELM_CATEGORIES
    • ELM_ELEMENTS
    • ELM_PRODUCTS
    • ELM_SOLUTIONS
    • PLST_UCE_CONVERSIONS
    • PLTS_UCE_MAPPINGS
    • PLTS_UCE_ROUNDINGRULES

    Do not check the Register the selected objects with the option to move edits to base check box.

  7. Click OK.

Creating database connections for product library users

Database connections need to be created for the other product library users if the product library is stored in Oracle, SQL Server, or another ArcSDE geodatabase licensed through ArcGIS Server Enterprise. If your product library is stored in SQL Server Express, you can skip this section, since other users will only need to add a database server connection (first section of this workflow).

If you want to create a database connection for SQL Server, go to Making a direct connection from ArcGIS Desktop to a geodatabase in SQL Server. If you want to create a database connection for Oracle, go to Making a direct connection from ArcGIS Desktop to a geodatabase in Oracle.

注意注意:

For step 6, if using database authentication, type the user name of the product library user for which you want to create a database connection.

Once you have performed all the steps in this workflow, the product library workspace is ready for you to create the solution, product class, series, and users and user permissions. Other users still need to define the product library workspace in their client machine to be able to create and manage data and/or products.
