ESRI Geodatabase Downgrade Tool

Most of you must have at least few 9.x (9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1 hopefully no 9.1) while your main production ESRI geodatabase is in 10.x you must face it frustrating that your 10 data won't work on 9.x machines.

Here is a simple tool to use to "Downgrade" any geodatabase to a 9.x version.


Open ArcCatalog

Navigate to the tool.

Double click on Downgrade GDB tool.

Select your 10 gdb

Enter the information

The output will be in the same folder

The result will be the same as your selected gdb plus a 9x suffix.

Modeling an ArcGIS™ geodatabase with UML® and Enterprise Architect

Introduction

Enterprise Architect 9.3 provides built-in support for modeling ArcGIS geodatabase designs. Using a

UML profile for ArcGIS, Enterprise Architect helps you to:

•      Create a visual UML model of your ArcGIS geodatabase

•      Export your modeled ArcGIS schema as an XML Workspace document that is readable by

ArcGIS 10.0 and ArcGIS 10.1.

•      Import your existing ArcGIS database schemas to an Enterprise Architect model.

Visualizing your geodatabase designs with Enterprise Architect helps you to:

•      Facilitate traceability of your GIS systems to the broader enterprise model

•      Communicate geospatial design concepts to a wide audience of stakeholders

•      Leverage model driven architecture to improve development and maintenance of geodatabases.

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you learn how to model geodatabases in Enterprise Architect that are suitable for use with the Esri® ArcGIS suite of tools. The tutorial also provides details of how ArcGIS concepts relate to UML and Enterprise Architect features.

INTRODUCTION

This manual contains technical information about the creation of Pitt Meadows Geodatabase. The developed Geodatabase is the first version and will require future implementations or revisions. This Geodatabase includes only data that can be linked to the cadastre feature layer.  Information on the software is provided to give the administrator some background knowledge of how the Geodatabase was developed and tested.
