Report Aviation Chart Changes (Aviation)

This ArcGIS 2.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

Available with Aviation Charting license.

Summary

Compares feature classes in two enterprise geodatabase versions and returns the differences in a report. You can filter the reported changes to determine which charts are affected by the differing data sources. You can set filters based on areas of interest (AOI), definition queries, and Report Chart Changes preferences.

Once generated, the report will be written to the ChartChanges feature class in the ArcGIS Aviation Charting AIS geodatabase schema. You can name the report and reference it through the SessionID unique report identifier. You can use the Chart Changes tool to view the report.

Usage

  • The Aviation Workspace parameter value must be a versioned enterprise geodatabase. File geodatabases are not supported by this tool.

  • You must populate the workspace preference table with Report Chart Changes preferences before running this tool. These preferences will define which feature classes and attributes will be included in the report. After a preference is created, you can update the attributes as necessary. You can also create multiple preferences by assigning unique names to each preference in the table.

  • The Area of Interest Features polygon feature class is used to set a boundary within which features will be processed. Features that wholly or partially overlap the AOI will be processed.

  • To avoid unexpected errors when referencing a feature class in your enterprise geodatabase, provide an absolute path to your workspace when using the Area of Interest Features parameter in Python.

  • The generated report must have a unique name. You cannot have two reports with the same name in the ChartChanges table.
