If you have created a new geodatabase or are upgrading an existing geodatabase to use the ArcFM Solution for the first time, there are some steps that must be executed to ensure your database is compatible with the latest version of the ArcFM Solution.
Refer to the ArcGIS online help for information about creating your geodatabase schema and loading data.
Once you have the data in your geodatabase, perform the following steps in the order listed:
- Edit the DBTUNE File (Oracle and SQLServer only)
- ArcFM Solution Create/Update System Tables (as SDE user)
- Upgrade ArcFM Solution Database (as database owner; this tool may take several minutes)
- Import ArcFM Properties: Use the ArcFM Import/Export tools to export ArcFM Properties (model names, autoupdaters, snapping info, relationships, domains, etc.) from the sample data and import it into your geodatabase. This automatically imports the required model name domains as well as autoupdaters, model names, snapping information, etc.
- Convert to ArcFM or Designer Objects
- Review the sections for your licensed products (e.g., ArcFM, Designer, Responder, Fiber Manager) and configure the functionality you wish to use (e.g., tracing, Feeder Manager, etc.).
- Because you're configuring the geodatabase for the first time, there's no need to follow the upgrade steps on the What's New page for your current release. However, you may want to review this page to see what functionality has been recently added. Subsequent version upgrades will require that you follow the upgrade steps on the current What's New page.
