| Introduction to the Multiuser Geodatabase |
 |
Course Overview
A multiuser geodatabase uses the ArcSDE software and a database management system (DBMS) to store large amounts of GIS data that many users may concurrently access. This course, designed for the end user of a multiuser geodatabase, bridges the gap between the ArcSDE administrator and the GIS professional. Participants learn to leverage the powerful capabilities offered by the multiuser geodatabase. The course focus is on how to apply ArcGIS skills in a multiuser environment, and how this environment differs from that of a personal geodatabase. The course discusses geodatabase behavior in the context of a versioned environment, fundamental versioning workflow procedures, and client-side performance considerations. This course does not focus on a specific supported DBMS. |
|
Audience
This course is designed for experienced ArcGIS users who are familiar with the geodatabase data model and are migrating from the personal geodatabase to a multiuser geodatabase environment. GIS managers will also find the course beneficial. |
|
Prerequisites
Participants should have completed Introduction to ArcGIS I or Learning ArcGIS 9 and Introduction to ArcGIS II or have equivalent knowledge. It is recommended that participants also complete the Building Geodatabases I course to gain understanding of the geodatabase data model. No database administration experience is required. |
|
Goals
Those completing this course will be able to:- Distinguish personal and multiuser geodatabase functionality
- Understand basic ArcSDE and DBMS software architecture
- Establish different ArcGIS client connections and understand their properties
- Understand geodatabase behavior within a versioned environment
- Edit data stored in a multiuser geodatabase
- Understand fundamental versioning workflow procedures

| Introduction to Geoprocessing Scripts Using Python |
|
Course Overview
One of the aspects of the ArcGIS 9 geoprocessing framework is the scripting environment. In this two-day class, students will learn about the Python scripting language and how it can be used to access the geoprocessing functionality in ArcGIS 9. Participants begin the course by understanding Python scripting syntax; progress to writing scripts for geoprocessing operations; and finish by incorporating Python scripts as tools in ArcToolbox. Scripting is easy to learn, so introductory-level programmers are welcome. However, some knowledge of fundamental programming techniques, such as loops and conditional statements, is required. |
|
Audience
This course is for ArcGIS desktop users who want to learn how to automate everyday processes or create complex analytical scripts. It is also helpful for ARC Macro Language (AML) and Avenue programmers who want to write scripts using the ArcGIS 9 geoprocessing framework. |
|
Prerequisites
Participants should have taken Introduction to ArcGIS I or have equivalent knowledge. Some basic programming skills are recommended. |
|
Goals
- Learn the basics of the Python scripting language
- Understand scripting within the ArcGIS 9 geoprocessing framework
- Incorporate tools and environment settings into scripts
- Incorporate cursors, describe objects, and enumerations into scripts
- Work with scripts in ArcToolbox
- Incorporate scripts in ArcGIS 9 Model BuilderTM
- Learn some helpful resources for debugging Python code

| Managing Cartographic Data in the Geodatabase |
|
Course Overview
ArcGIS 9.2 software introduces cartographic representations, which are used to create sophisticated feature symbology that is stored in the geodatabase with the associated spatial data. This course explains what cartographic representations are and how they can be used to solve cartographic problems that were formerly difficult or impossible to solve in the ArcGIS environment. Students learn how to create symbology for different map purposes and scales without duplication and reprocessing of spatial data. The course teaches cartographic representations in the context of a map project: in the exercises, students convert existing symbology to representations and gain experience with advanced symbol creation and manipulation as they improve a map designed to promote bicycling. Along the way, students learn how balancing the use of cartographic representations with traditional symbology methods can optimize a map production workflow. |
|
Audience
This course is designed for intermediate to expert ArcGIS users who make maps or are responsible for managing cartographic data standards for their organizations. |
|
Prerequisites
Students should have completed Introduction to ArcGIS I or Learning ArcGIS Desktop, Introduction to ArcGIS II, and Cartography with ArcGIS or Cartographic Design Using ArcGIS 9 or have equivalent knowledge. |
|
Goals
- Describe the structure of cartographic representations.
- Create cartographic representations using different methods.
- Create custom symbols using cartographic representations.
- Use cartographic representations to solve cartographic problems associated with symbol conflict, generalization, and scale.
- Create multiple cartographic representations for a single geodatabase feature class.
- Understand when to use cartographic representations and when to use traditional methods to symbolize map features.
