Exercise 1: Validating aviation data

Complejidad:

Principiante

Requisitos de datos:

ArcGIS.com

Objetivo:

Set the required properties, including setting the data source and running an existing batch job and fixing data errors.

In this exercise, you will set required properties, set the data source for, and run an existing ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Desktop batch job; run data quality control (QC) checks; and fix data errors.

Before you begin this exercise, you must download the data from ArcGIS.com.

Exercise 1a: Setting the data source for a batch job

In this part of the exercise, you will set the data source for an existing batch job so it runs on your source file geodatabase. This batch job is already preconfigured with checks to meet the highest quality standard for your input database. The batch job you will use, along with others, is installed with ArcGIS for Aviation: Cartografía and ArcGIS para aviación: Airports.

1. Inicie ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Extensions and verify that Data Reviewer is checked.
3. Browse to the installation location of the downloaded ArcGIS for Aviation map package (.mpk) file.

   By default, the map package data can be found in the following location: <Installtion location>\Users\<user>\Documents\ArcGIS\Packages\ArcGIS_for_AviationTutorial\v101\.

4. Drag the ArcGIS for Aviation Tutorial.mpk file onto the data frame.

   The ArcGIS for AviationTutorial map opens.

   You can find the location of the map package in the Catalog window. Browse to the Folder Connections node to find the installation location. If necessary, right-click the node and click Connect To Folder if a folder connection does not exist.

5. Explore the data provided in the feature datasets.
6. Click the Customize menu and click Toolbars > Data Reviewer to add the Data Reviewer toolbar.
7. In the Catalog window, browse to the directory where you want to create a new file geodatabase for data QC records.
8. Right-click the folder and click New > File Geodatabase.
9. Name the geodatabase Reviewer.gdb.

Exercise 1b: Setting up the Reviewer session

In this part of the exercise, you will set up a Reviewer session to store the data validation results. This includes choosing the workspace, setting the spatial reference, and deciding which checks run by default before the batch jobs are run.

1. Click the Reviewer Session Manager button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.

   The Reviewer Session Manager dialog box appears.

2. Click Browse and browse to where you created the Reviewer.gdb geodatabase.
3. Click the Reviewer.gdb file and click Add.
4. Click New to create a new Reviewer session.

   The Reviewer Workspace Properties dialog box appears.

5. Choose the Use Active Data Frame Spatial Reference option.

   Nota:

   The coordinate system for the Reviewer session must match the coordinate system for the data to be validated. In this case, it is the database provided with the ArcGIS for Aviation tutorial download.

   

6. Haga clic en Aceptar.
7. Click Start Session.

   The button name changes to End Session.

8. Click Close.

   The Reviewer Session Manager dialog box closes.

Exercise 1c: Running the batch job on the source data

In this part of the exercise, you will run a batch job on the runway centerline data that is in the map package. This will allow you to import quality data into your airport database.

Nota:

It is recommended that all the default checks available within ArcGIS Data Reviewer are run before running any aviation checks. Default checks will locate basic errors such as, invalid geometry, which are not included in the aviation checks.

1. Click the Reviewer Batch Validate button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.

   The Batch Validate dialog box appears.

2. Click Add From File in the Batch Job area.
3. Browse to the default installation location for ArcGIS for Aviation batch jobs.

   For 68-bit users—<Installation location>\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\AviationCharting\Desktop10.4.1\BatchJobs\Airports\FAA18B.

   For 32-bit users—<Installation location>\Program Files\ArcGIS\AviationCharting\Desktop10.4.1\BatchJobs\Airports\FAA18B.

4. Click the Airfield.rbj file and click Open.

   The Reviewer Processing Errors message appears.

   Nota:

   This message appears because all the feature classes that are validated by the Airfield batch job are not present in the map package and the associated geodatabase.

5. Click Close.
6. Right-click in the Batch Jobs area and click Minimize All Groups.
7. Right-click in the batch job list and click Unselect All Groups.
8. Check the RunwayCenterline box to only run checks for the runway centerline data.

   When the RunwayCenterline group is expanded, all the related centerline data options are selected to run.

   

9. Click Run.

   When the batch job is finished running, the Table Writer dialog box appears and indicates that two records have been written to the Reviewer table.

Exercise 1d: Fixing errors found by the batch job

In this part of the exercise, the two errors found by the batch job will be fixed. One error is from the SQL Query check, and the other is from the Geometry On Geometry check. Both require edits to be made to the feature on which the errors occurred, so you will start an edit session, fix the issues, and save the changes.

1. Haga clic en el botón Tabla Reviewer en la barra de herramientas Data Reviewer.
For a better understanding of the fields in the Reviewer table, see Fields in the Reviewer table..
2. Select a record in the Reviewer table and right-click to explore the pan and zoom options for the feature geometry.
3. Start an edit session on the Editor toolbar by clicking Editor > Start Editing.

   Sugerencia:

   If ArcGIS for Aviation: Cartografía is installed, you can click the Production Start Editing button on the Aviation Data Management toolbar to start an edit session and use the Update Attributes window to complete step 6.

4. Double-click the first Reviewer table record to select the feature geometry.

   The description indicates there is a critical issue with the attributes on the feature.

5. Right-click the selected RunwayCenterline feature and click Attributes.

   The Attributes window appears.

6. Change the Status attribute to ACTIVE.
7. Close the Attributes window.
8. Double-click the second Reviewer table record to select the feature geometry.

   The description indicates that the RunwayCenterline feature's start/end is not coincident with the RunwayEnd feature. This error has been reported because no RunwayEnd features have been collected for this airport.

9. Click the Create Features button to open the Create Features window.
10. Select the RunwayEnd feature template.
11. Digitize two RunwayEnd points on each end of the RunwayCenterline feature.

    The points must snap to the RunwayCenterline feature to be considered valid.

12. On the Editor toolbar, click Editor > Save Edits to save the edits.
13. On the Editor toolbar, click Editor > Stop Editing to stop the edit session.
14. Right-click the first record in the Reviewer table and click Enter Correction Status.

    The Update Results dialog box appears.

15. Click the Update Status drop-down arrow and choose Resolved.
16. Click the Correction Notes drop-down arrow and choose Per Guidance.

    

17. Haga clic en Aceptar.
18. Repeat steps 14 through 17 for the second record.
19. In the Reviewer table, scroll to the right to review the Corrected By, Corrected On, and Correction Notes fields and view the correction information.
20. Click the Reviewer Session Manager button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.
21. Click End Session.
22. Haga clic en Cerrar.
23. Close ArcMap without saving changes.

Now that the RunwayCenterline feature is valid, you can continue with the next exercise and use it to create obstruction identification surfaces (OIS) features.
