With the Data Registration toolset, you can define the properties for a bathymetry dataset by creating a bathymetry dataset properties (.bdprops) file. You can then register one or more .bdprops files to a BIS geodatabase.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Registers one or more bathymetry datasets described in bathymetry dataset properties (.bdprops) files to a BIS geodatabase, where one bathymetry dataset is described per .bdprops file. A .bdprops file is created using the Define Bathymetry geoprocessing tool. This geoprocessing tool performs in the same way as the Add Bathymetry desktop tool with the difference being that it can be invoked via a Python script or a geoprocessing model, like any other geoprocessing tool. This tool performs a number of validation checks to ensure that no incorrect or duplicate datasets are registered with the BIS geodatabase. | |
Creates a bathymetry dataset properties (.bdprops) file that defines the properties for a bathymetry dataset, such as any of the raster dataset formats supported by the Bathymetry solution as well as any single-part point feature classes. This properties file may then be used in the Add Bathymetry geoprocessing tool to register the dataset defined within to the BIS geodatabase that was used to generate the file. |
