Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Ivelisse Torres-Alejo, Elio Elias, Julian Albo

The purpose of this paper is to describe the various phases involved in the migration from the world of coverages and AML to the world of ArcGIS desktop and the geodatabase. The paper will describe the unique approach taken at Miami-Dade in creating a multi-user versioned environment for the co-existence of various County departments accessing the same centralized geodatabase with the use of ArcObjects editing applications’ deployed via the Citrix environment. The first phase included a single Oracle instance and geodatabase in ArcSDE 9.1, and the second phase included different project geodatabases in the same Oracle instance in ArcSDE 9.2. The paper includes the configuration of the versioning schema, Oracle instances, and the ArcObjects editing extension and supporting Oracle tables, the quality checking tasks enforced within the editing process for data integrity purposes and finally, the replication process from the master editing geodatabases to the publishing geodatabases.
