ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting supports the checks listed in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) publication S-58 Recommended ENC Validation Checks, edition 4.1, in several ways. Some checks are enforced during runtime in the editing environment, while others are supported by various internal components (framework, data model, and tools).
The nautical batch jobs are stored in the product library.
Runtime validation environment
The runtime validation environment consists of the Feature Manager.
The Feature Manager uses the attribute batch jobs to support attribute validation in an edit session. For example, if you input an attribute value that violates a mandatory attribute S-58 check, you are presented with a descriptive error message, and the value is not applied to the feature. The preconfigured nautical batch jobs are stored in the product library. At runtime, mandatory attributes are checked using the rules defined in the mandatory attribute batch job and the validity of attributes is checked based on checks defined in the valid attributes batch job.
Nautical batch jobs
The nautical batch jobs have been divided into intuitive, focused categories. These focused batch jobs give you the ability to check for sets of similar rules without having to run all the checks for it.
Nautical attribute batch jobs
The nautical attribute batch jobs are divided into two categories, and are listed here with the checks included in the respective batch jobs.
Mandatory Attribute checks batch job
This batch job checks for S-58 mandatory attributes and is used for runtime validation in the Feature Manager. It is also available for validation in the Run Selected Batch Jobs tool on the Production Editing toolbar and the batch validate functionality from Data Reviewer. The S-58 checks included in the Mandatory Attribute checks batch job are the following:
- 503
- 507
- 509
Valid Attribute checks batch job
There are four valid attribute checks batch jobs that check for S-58 valid attribute values. The ENC_Valid_Attribute_A.rbj and NIS_Valid_Attribute_A.rbj batch jobs are available for runtime validation in the Feature Manager, validation in the Run Selected Batch Jobs tool on the Production Editing toolbar, and the batch validate functionality from Data Reviewer. The ENC_Valid_Attribute_R.rbj and NIS_Valid_Attribute_R.rbj batch jobs are only available through the batch validate functionality from Data Reviewer. The S-58 checks included in the Valid Attribute checks batch job are the following:

500-599 | 558 |
1500–1599 | 1517, 1557, 1558, 1560, 1561 |

Checks supported internally
The checks below are supported internally by Maritime Charting components and do not need to be run independently by you.
The checks in the table below are handled internally by the Maritime Chartingframework.

1–99 | 5, 32–36, 85, 92 |
500–599 | 512, 533, 534, 539, 545, 546, 551, 555 |
1500–1800 | 1520–1523, 1679, 1763 |
The checks in the table below are handled by the nautical data models.
| Check Number Range | Check Number |
|---|---|
1–99 | 8 |
500–599 | 504, 505, 510, 511, 553 |
1500–1599 | 1502, 1544, 1564, 1567, 1570–1572, 1575, 1578, 1582, 1583, 1585–1587, 1591, 1593, 1594, 1598 |

The checks in the table below are handled by the Maritime Charting properties and various tools.
| Check Number | Description |
|---|---|
4 | Handled by the system when you select an agency value in the Nautical Properties pane of the Production Properties dialog box. |
8 | Handled by data models and configuration files. |
29, 30 | Handled by the system when updating relationships. |
37, 38, 506, 531, 540 | Handled by the Export command; the lexical level on Updates cannot be changed. |
91 | Handled by rounding rules set in the Nautical Properties pane of the Production Properties dialog box. |
518 | Checked in product XML |
530 | Handled by the Exchange Set tool. |
547 | Handled by the product XML, product map, and Export command. |
Checks for third-party validation
The checks in the table below are not supported by Maritime Charting. It is suggested that you use third-party validation software for these checks. Maritime Charting validates the S-58 checks on the geodatabase; thus, the S-57 file-related checks are not applicable in the nautical validation methods.
| Check Number Range | Check Number |
|---|---|
1–99 | 2, 7, 9, 10–28, 31, 39, 40, 42, 44, 67, 68, 71, 80, 82, 86, 88, 90 |
500–599 | 502, 515, 520, 527–529, 532, 535–538, 554, 556, 566 |
1000–1800 | 1000–1005, 1518, 1531–1534, 1536, 1556, 1559, 1562, 1565, 1625, 1644, 1657, 1663, 1682–1688, 1719, 1721, 1725, 1729, 1778, 1788, 1790, 1793, 1795 |
