Register NIS components as versioned and enable archiving

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

You can load the Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) or Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (IENC) XML workspace into an enterprise geodatabase to create the Nautical Information System (NIS). The XML files are preconfigured and available with ArcGIS Maritime; they contain all the necessary feature classes and tables that can be used to manage the NIS.

Versioning is required for a multiuser environment. Archiving is optional and suggested for historical traceability.

The XML workspaces include the following:

  • Nautical feature dataset
  • Three feature classes that store the deleted features
  • A ClosingLinesL feature class that can be used to generate depth areas
  • Collections and tables, including FREL tables that store spatial relationship information

Register the following objects as versioned and enable archiving:
