Import S-57 To Geodatabase (Maritime)

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

Summary

Imports an S-57 file into an ArcGIS Maritime geodatabase.

Usage

  • A New Edition (EN) base file can be imported.

  • Multiple Revision (ER) files, also known as updates, must be imported at the same time as the base file. Individual ER files cannot be imported at a later time.

  • The Target Workspace parameter value must contain a Maritime schema.

    Tip:

    Choose the Maritime workspace .xml file to create a Maritime database based on the S-57 product you want to use. For example, NAUTICAL_ENC_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.xml provides the schema for an ENC product. The default file location is <installation_location>\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\S-57, provided the Maritime product files are installed.

  • It is recommended that you import to an edit version when using an enterprise geodatabase.

  • The default file for the Product Configuration File parameter is the .xml file that corresponds to the product database to which you are importing. The file is located at <installation_location>\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Maritime\.
