Summary
Imports Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) 4.5 schema data into an Aeronautical Information System (AIS) geodatabase.
Discussion
AIXM 4.5 data can be imported into an ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting enterprise geodatabase with the AIS schema. This function decodes the rules and relationships defined in an AIXM 4.5 XML message and re-creates them in the AIS data model. AIXM messages are XML documents that conform to the AIXM XML schema.
This tool requires an enterprise geodatabase with the AIS schema. Use this geodatabase as the workspace. This is the name of the geodatabase where the tool will create data.
Syntax
ImportAixm45 (workspace_path, message_path, {log_path}, {table_list})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
workspace_path | The path to the connection file for the geodatabase where the AIXM 4.5 data will be imported. This geodatabase must have the AIS data model. | String |
message_path | The path to the AIXM XML message to be imported into the AIS database. | String |
log_path | The directory that will store the log file that reports any errors that have occurred during import. | String |
