Add topology to a database

Available with Maritime Charting license.

Working with geodatabase topology includes creating a topology for a dataset, assigning features and spatial rules, validating the features in a map, and using specific tools to fix errors and mark exceptions.

To create a geodatabase topology for a dataset containing the features participating in the topology, complete the following steps:

  1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
  2. In the Geoprocessing pane, expand Topographic Production Tools.
  3. Click Data Management > Topology > Import Topology.
  4. Set the Input Feature Dataset parameter to the feature dataset where the topology will be created.
  5. Set the Input Topology Definition File parameter to the .xml file that contains the topology definition.
    Note:

    The existing topology .xml file is found at <installation_location>\Users\Public\Documents\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\Schemas\ENC_Topology.xml, provided the Maritime product files are installed.

  6. Click Run.
