Applying change files

This topic only applies to paper chart products.

Each time the product is updated in the product library using Get Changes, a file geodatabase data change message is generated. For example, in a common production workflow, data change messages are generated for edit operations performed within the Nautical Information System (NIS) database. These data change messages are stored within the product library and applied to the production database through the Apply Changes tool.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. Check out the product from the Product Library.
3. Open the map document.

   Remarque :

   Layers must be in the Table of Contents pane so the tool can designate a workspace.

4. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Nautical.
5. Click the Apply Changes button on the Nautical toolbar.

   The Product Updates dialog box appears.

6. Apply changes individually or all at once.

   To apply changes individually	Click Apply Oldest and repeat the steps if you want to apply more updates.
   To apply changes all at once	Click Apply All.

   A message box appears indicating the updates were applied. If changes were applied individually, the oldest data change message is applied to the database based on the creation date. If all changes were applied at once, all existing data change messages are applied from the oldest to the most recent date.

   Remarque :

   Now that you have applied changes to your production database, you can use the Selecting Unverified Features command to identify those changes.
