Usage

  • Source geodatabases must be within the same Region## and conform to one of the following naming patterns:

    • Digital Nautical Chart (DNC)—<Scale Category Designator><Region##><Designator>

    • Browse—Browse<Region##>

    • Tactical Ocean Data (TOD)—TOD<#><Region##><Designator>

  • The Notice to Mariners Date parameter value will populate the date as metadata in all exported libraries. Use the following format for each respective product:

    • DNC and TOD0—<2-digit week of year>/<2-digit year>

    • TOD2 and TOD4—<2-digit month of year>/<4-digit year>

  • The output location is a designated directory that creates the correct VPF file structure per region.

  • The DNC## folder will be created containing the libraries and digital hash table (DHT) and library attribute table (LAT) files.
