Find out how to take advantage of the 50+ maps and apps available with ArcGIS for Local Government. You’ll first learn about the benefits of this initiative from Esri’s ArcGIS for Local Government Project Manager, Scott Oppmann. Then, via demos from Steve MacCabe (Safe Software) and Steve Grise (Vertex3), you’ll discover how to easily load data into this information model and perform QC during the load process to maintain data integrity.

17. Configuration Patterns
• Influential factors
- COTS and configurable solutions strategy
- Deployment time
- Technical expertise
• Three configuration patterns
- Complete system adoption
- Publish and adopt
- Sample code and customize
• Where do you start?
- With your business requirements (NOT the GDB!)
- Align them with maps and apps
- Review system configuration patterns

18. Complete System Adoption
Configure GDB schema
• Add fields, features
• Configure domains
• Set spatial reference
Step 1:
• Load source data
Organize your data
Configure maps
• Adjust scale dependencies and
def queries
• Validate label expressions
• Publish basemaps and map
Step 2: services
Author the maps
Configure the desktop, mobile
and web apps
• Add basemaps and map services
• Adjust extents
Step 3:
• Configure popups
Deploy the apps
Supported by Esri Support Services • Deploy Add-ins and models

19. Publish and Adopt
Configure GDB schema
Create ETL Scripts
• Add fields, features
• Configure domains • Set source / target
• Set spatial reference • Schedule scripts
Step 1: • Migrate production data
Create publication database Step 2:
Load production data
Configure maps
• Adjust scale dependencies and
def queries
• Validate label expressions
• Publish basemaps and map
Step 3: services
Author the maps Configure the mobile and web
apps
• Add basemaps and map services
• Adjust extents
Step 4:
• Configure popups
Supported by Esri Support Services Deploy the apps

20. Sample Code and Customize
Configure your GDB schema
• Add fields, features
Step 1:
Use your GDB Schema
Configure maps
• Repair map layers (source and symbology)
• Adjust scale dependencies and def queries
• Validate label expressions
• Publish basemaps and map services
Step 2:
• Or, just try to use your maps…
Repair the maps
Publish your own mobile and
web apps
• Customize/re-compile the apps
• Add basemaps and map services
Step 3:
• Adjust extents
Customize the apps
• Configure popups
NOT supported by Esri Support Services

21. Configuring the Information Model
• Supports maps and apps
• Known local government requirements
• Easy to adopt and extend
• Fully documented
• Features, layers and packages
• Central repository, organized around thematic
content and logical permission model
• Organized access/maintenance patterns
• GDB replication, layers and services
• Tip
• Xray for ArcCatalog and ArcMap
• Safe the layer and field aliases and work from there….

24. Poll Questions
 What version of FME or Data Interop are you
currently using?

25. What’s the problem
How do you load data into LocalGovernment.gdb?

26. Q: How do I load data into LocalGovernment.gdb?
A: Use Geoprocessing and/or FME/Data Interop
With FME: Quickly prepare data for use in AGS4LocalGov:
Visual tool – no programming
Supports many Formats
LocalGov Data model examples
Automate processes
26

27.  Using FME/Data Interop Spatial ETL Tools
Source Data Target GDB and Maps
Same process for either:
One-time migration
Ongoing publishing
27

28. Clip Source
Key parts:
Re-project
Clip
Dynamic output to
“Source” folder
Value:
Saves time while
refining load
tools/process
28

29. Facilities and Transportation
Key Parts:
SchemaMapper
for RoadClass
and Site Codes
Value:
Manage complex
code mapping
more easily
using Excel
29

30. Facilities from Landuse
Key Parts:
Use Dissolve to
create FacilitySite
Polygons
Value:
Required for the map
design
A simple start on a
tough problem
30

31. For initial loading
Start small, clip source to a representative area
Refinement
Test with maps
Refine loading process
Organize into smaller “chunks” for loading
Automation
Set up as scheduled windows process
On-demand with parameters/settings
Work locally then copy to cloud
Plan the Channels you will publish to…
31

32. Source Data
FME Server (AWS etc)
SQL Server (SQL Azure)
Google Fusion Tables
Any DBMS in the cloud
…
Commercial Solutions
…
