how to easily load data into arcgis for local government
DESCRIPTION
Find out how to take advantage of the 50+ maps and apps available with ArcGIS for Local Government. You’ll first learn about the benefits of this initiative from Esri’s ArcGIS for Local Government Project Manager, Scott Oppmann. Then, via demos from Steve MacCabe (Safe Software) and Steve Grise (Vertex3), you’ll discover how to easily load data into this information model and perform QC during the load process to maintain data integrity.TRANSCRIPT

Configuration Patterns
• Influential factors- COTS and configurable solutions strategy
- Deployment time
- Technical expertise
• Three configuration patterns- Complete system adoption
- Publish and adopt
- Sample code and customize
• Where do you start?- With your business requirements (NOT the GDB!)
- Align them with maps and apps
- Review system configuration patterns
Complete System Adoption
Configure GDB schema• Add fields, features• Configure domains• Set spatial reference• Load source dataStep 1:
Organize your data
Step 2: Author the maps
Configure maps• Adjust scale dependencies and
def queries• Validate label expressions• Publish basemaps and map
services
Step 3: Deploy the apps
Configure the desktop, mobile and web apps
• Add basemaps and map services• Adjust extents• Configure popups• Deploy Add-ins and modelsSupported by Esri Support Services
Publish and Adopt
Configure GDB schema• Add fields, features• Configure domains• Set spatial reference
Step 1: Create publication database
Step 3: Author the maps
Configure maps• Adjust scale dependencies and
def queries• Validate label expressions• Publish basemaps and map
services
Step 4: Deploy the apps
Configure the mobile and web apps
• Add basemaps and map services• Adjust extents• Configure popups
Step 2: Load production data
Create ETL Scripts• Set source / target• Schedule scripts• Migrate production data
Supported by Esri Support Services
Sample Code and Customize
Configure your GDB schema• Add fields, features
Step 1: Use your GDB Schema
Step 2: Repair the maps
Configure maps• Repair map layers (source and symbology) • Adjust scale dependencies and def queries• Validate label expressions• Publish basemaps and map services• Or, just try to use your maps…
Step 3: Customize the apps
Publish your own mobile and web apps
• Customize/re-compile the apps• Add basemaps and map services• Adjust extents• Configure popups
NOT supported by Esri Support Services
Configuring the Information Model
• Supports maps and apps• Known local government requirements
• Easy to adopt and extend
• Fully documented• Features, layers and packages
• Central repository, organized around thematic content and logical permission model
• Organized access/maintenance patterns• GDB replication, layers and services
• Tip• Xray for ArcCatalog and ArcMap
• Safe FME and Esri Data Interop ExtensionStart with the layer and field aliases and work from there….

Poll Questions
What version of FME or Data Interop are you currently using?
How do you load data into LocalGovernment.gdb?
What’s the problem

Q: How do I load data into LocalGovernment.gdb?
A: Use Geoprocessing and/or FME/Data Interop
The Main Question…
With FME: Quickly prepare data for use in AGS4LocalGov:Visual tool – no programmingSupports many FormatsLocalGov Data model examplesAutomate processes
27
Strategies for Loading Data
Same process for either:One-time migrationOngoing publishing
Using FME/Data Interop Spatial ETL ToolsSource Data Target GDB and Maps
28
1st Example – Project and ClipTopographic Map
Key parts:Re-projectClipDynamic output to “Source” folder
Value:Saves time while refining load tools/process
Clip Source
29
2nd Example – Schema MapperTopographic Map
Key Parts:SchemaMapper for RoadClass and Site Codes
Value:Manage complex code mapping more easily using Excel
Facilities and Transportation
30
3rd Example – Facility SitesTopographic Map
Key Parts:Use Dissolve to create FacilitySite Polygons
Value:Required for the map designA simple start on a tough problem
Facilities from Landuse
31
Best PracticesFor initial loading
Start small, clip source to a representative areaRefinement
Test with mapsRefine loading processOrganize into smaller “chunks” for loading
