Export Geodatabase To S-57 (Maritime Tools)

Summary

Exports hydrographic data from an ArcGIS Maritime geodatabase to an S-57 file.

The following processes will run automatically:

  • Extract data

  • Clip data at boundary of the product coverage polygon

  • Group soundings

  • Generate FE Name

  • Generate or update primitives

  • Calculate SCAMIN

Usage

  • The exported cell is compressed (ZIP format) and stored as a BLOB in the ProductExports table in the database if the Sample Export parameter is unchecked.

  • This tool will not extract point and line features that intersect entirely along the cell or MetaDataA (M_CSCL) boundary. Use the Repair Nautical Data tool to identify and nudge these features off the boundary in the database before exporting the product.

  • This tool does not reproject data. Verify that the projection field of the product metadata matches that of the source geodatabase.

  • Exported cells are unpublished by default and must be published using the S-57 Product Manager tool. Automatic publishing can be enabled in the ProductDefinitions table.

  • When a Maritime S-101 co-production geodatabase is specified as the Source Geodatabase parameter value, the S-100 Feature Catalogue parameter is enabled. During export, the tool extracts an S-101 dataset using the coverage extent and extraction values defined in the S57ProductCoverage feature class and converts the resulting S-101 cell to S-57. This conversion uses Lua-based conversion rules stored in the ArcGIS Pro Maritime resources directory at <ArcGIS Pro installation location>\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\Maritime\S101toS57Converter.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

Source Geodatabase

The database from which the product will be exported.

Workspace

S-57 Product

The name of the product that will be exported. This product metadata entry must exist in the ProductDefinitions table, and the related extents must be present in the ProductCoverage feature class in the workspace.

String

Export Type

Specifies the type of file that will be created during export.

  • New DatasetA new dataset including information that has not been previously distributed by updates will be created.

  • New EditionA new edition of a dataset including information that has not been previously distributed by updates will be created.

  • UpdateChanges to a dataset since the last export will be reflected in the file.

  • ReissueA reissue of a dataset including all the updates applied to the original dataset up to the date of reissue will be created. A reissue does not contain information that has not been previously issued by updates.

  • CancelWhen a dataset is deleted, an updated cell file is created containing only the Dataset General Information record with the Dataset Identifier (DSID) field. In this case, the Edition Number (EDTN) subfield must be set to 0.

String

Output Location

The location containing the output export package.

Folder

Product Configuration File

(Optional)

The configuration file that will be used to export the product.

File

Clip Features at M_CSCL

(Optional)

Specifies whether the export process will clip data that crosses an M_CSCL feature.

  • CheckedFeatures in the source database that cross the boundary of an M_CSCL feature will be clipped to the boundary in the exported file.

  • UncheckedFeatures in the source database that cross the boundary of an M_CSCL feature will not be clipped to the boundary in the exported file. The features will remain intact in the output. This is the default.

Boolean

Sample Export

(Optional)

Specifies whether the product will be exported as a sample.

  • CheckedThe exported cell is not stored in the ProductExports table and the metadata information will not be updated in the ProductDefinitions table.

  • UncheckedThe exported cell is stored in the ProductExports table as a BLOB, and the edition, update, and other metadata in the ProductDefinitions table will be updated. This is the default.

Boolean

SCAMIN Configuration File

(Optional)

A custom configuration file that contains the rules for calculating a feature's SCAMIN value that overrides the default value. For additional information, refer to Scale Minimum: Radar Range method.

File

S-100 Feature Catalogue

(Optional)

An .xml file that follows the S-100 Feature Catalogue format as defined by the IHO. It describes the content of a data product and its specifications. The default file location for S-100 catalogue files is <ArcGIS Maritime installation location>\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\S-101\, provided the Maritime product files are installed.

File

Derived output

Label Explanation Data type

Output File

The exported S-57 cell.
