If you plan to create a login database, DO NOT add stored displays tables to the backdrop geodatabase.

Designer Staker requires the existence of only one system stored display and it MUST be named: Electric Design.

Because Designer Staker requires only one stored item, Telvent strongly recommends adding this stored display to the Backdrop database rather than creating a separate Login database. There are a few ways to do this:

Open Backdrop in ArcMap and create a new system stored display by adding layers. This stored display MUST be named Electric Design.
Copy the necessary system tables (MM_SYSTEM_STORED_DISPLAYS and MM_SYSTEM_PACKAGES) from the Enterprise to the Backdrop. This will copy all system stored displays on the Enterprise to the Backdrop. Remove all unnecessary stored items and reconnect the data sources in the Electric Design system stored display. You may also remove any unnecessary layers from the Electric Design stored display.

Changes made to the Electric Design system stored display on the Enterprise may be distributed to the field machines by performing a "bootstrap" on the Geodatabase Replication server. Refer to the Reinitialize Geodatabase Replication page for information.

Change Default Stored Display (Optional)

By default Designer Staker looks for a stored display named "Electric Design". You can change this default behavior. In the example below, we'll use an Access database. You may need a Database Administrator to make similar changes to your SDE database.

The default stored display is determined by two tables in the Workflow Manager database: MM_MOBILE_STORED_DISPLAY and MM_WMS_DESIGN_TYPE.

The MM_WMS_DESIGN_TYPE table holds a list of the possible types of designs that may be created (e.g., Electric, Gas, Water). Each type has an associated ID.

The MM_MOBILE_STORED_DISPLAY table holds a list of stored displays.

The ID fields in these two tables correspond to each other. Match the IDs to find the stored display to be opened for a particular type of design. For example, ID=1 means an electric design will open a stored display called Electric Design. If you want to use a different default stored display when opening an electric design (e.g., for Staker), modify the STORED_DISPLAY field in the MM_MOBILE_STORED_DISPLAY table for the corresponding ID (1).

There are more stored displays because some are used by sessions in the MM_SESSION_TYPE table.
