Network Adapter Options for MultiSpeak

The Network Adapter Options has three tabs: Export Log, Files, and Export. The Export Log tab allows the user to select error logging options.

In the Network Adapter MDB field, browse or enter a path to the Network Adapter database (NetworkAdapter.mdb in the sample data). This database cannot be a feature database. More information about NetworkAdapter.mdb is available in the Network Adapter section of the ArcFM Solution Developer Guide (installed with the SDK).

If the user chooses to log messages to the screen, the MultiSpeak Engineering Analysis Log form will appear. If the user chooses to log messages to a file, the same messages are saved to a text file. If the user chooses to log all messages, data error messages and detailed status messages will be logged. Otherwise, only data error messages will be logged.

The Files tab allows the user to determine the locate of the style sheets to be used for imports and exports. The default Export style sheet is: ArcFM Solution\Bin\Style Sheets\NetAdapterMSPEAExport.xsl. The default Import style sheet is: ArcFM Solution\Bin\Style Sheets\NetAdapterMSPEAImport.xsl.

The Export tab allows you to determine what information is exported and the model names used to identify features for export.

Export Model Names

In this section you can determine the model names used to designate a feature or field as one to be exported.

Class: Enter a model name that will designate a class to be exported. This model name must be assigned to all classes you want to export. The default model name is: MULTISPEAKEAEXPORT. If this model name is assigned and the Field option remains unselected, the class and all of its attributes (fields) will be exported.

Field: Enter a model name that will designate specific fields to be exported. This model name must be assigned to all fields you want to export. To export a field on a class, the class model name must be assigned to the feature as well as the field model name assigned to the field.

Simple Feature Shape: Enter a model name that will designate a non-network point, line, or polygon to be exported. This model name is used ONLY if you want to export non-network features. It is not necessary for the out-of-the-box MultiSpeak data model. If you want to assign a model name to export non-network features, you must assign the class model name as well.

Relationship Source: Enter a model name that will designate an object class that is related to a selected feature and is the source of the relationship (e.g., ConductorInfo may be the source of a relationship with Conductor feature classes). This model name is not necessary for the out-of-the-box MultiSpeak data model. If you want to assign a model name to export these relationship object classes, you must assign the class model name as well.

Export Edge Vertices: Exports vertices or shape points along an edge in the export as well as end points. The default setting is True (shape points are exported).

Export Relationships: Exports related objects. The default is True (related objects are exported).

Use Default Values: This option allows you to determine whether to apply default values and indicate the location of the Defaults XML file.

The Optional XML Processors are used for customization. Refer to the Network Adapter Implementation Guide for more information.
