Creating an Enterprise project and Industry Model

For database-based work, you first need to create an Enterprise project. If you are working file-based on the basis of SQLite, this step is omitted and you can start directly with the “Creation of a new industry model for SQLite projects”.

An enterprise project or workspace consists of one or more documents or industry models

Creating an Enterprise project

Create a new workspace using the icon in the button bar

or alternatively via the “Enterprise” menu item.

Then name your new workspace.

The “Create” button is used to create and open the enterprise project.

Overview

1. Create Industry Models / Documents

2. Delete Industry Models

3. Include existing Industry Models in the enterprise project or exclude Industry Models from the Enterprise project without deleting them

4. Determine the order of the Enterprise projects using or

Create a new Oracle or PostgreSQL industry model

Click on to create a new industry model and assign a name (and password, if desired).

General

Units

In the units part you decide which units you want to use in your industry model. If you use the NET modules, only the length unit is used. In some spatial reference systems, the unit for the length is included. Is such a spatial reference system is set, you will be unable to select the length unit.

Spatial

This is where you select the coordinate system for your project. Select the appropriate coordinate system under Spatial Reference ID.

Check the maximum easting and northing values for the usual settings in the selected coordinate system (for recommendations, see screen shot).

When you have made all the settings, finish the configuration of the industry model with “OK” .

A progress indicator visualizes the creation of the industry model.

Subsequently, the data model is created for the project.

Start the structure update with “Update”, which creates the data model for the individual modules.

If the message “3 structure update plugin(s) failed” appears, please restart the update. This may repeat the process several times until the message “Update completed” appears.

Note

As soon as you have installed a new NET version, it is absolutely necessary to open the already set-up enterprise projects in Infrastructure Administrator and to execute the newly received structure updates.

This is necessary in order to keep the data model homogeneous with the new NET version.

The result is a newly created workspace.

Please perform a 1-Click-Maintenance after you created the industry model. How this is done can be read here.

Also the feature explorer has to be configured, after the indurstry model is created. To do this, pleas click on "Explorer Manager".

In the right area you can see the feature explorer tree. To configure the explorer, check the box bevore the featureclass, that should be visible. If everything is checked, then click "Save Tree".

You will find more information about this topic at the page settings in explorer manager.

Creating a new Industry Model for SQLite projects

In addition to the database-based variant, a file-based Industry Model can also be created based on SQLite. This is very well suited, for example, for planning projects with individual project participants or for the implementation and comparison of different planning options.

Creating an empty file-based industry model via File > New.

Note

Make sure that you have disconnected from the database in advance.

Then the same steps must be performed here as when Setting up a new database-based Industry Model

Select modules
Specify units
Define spatial settings
Import form
Import report

Note

Once you have initially created the Industry Model, you can save the dwt (drawing template) separately and reuse it for new projects. This allows you to set up new file-based projects without having to set them up again in the Administrator.

When working in SQLite files, note that you must save changes.

Deleting industry models

The deletion of industry models is only possible for unused industry models.
