Extending ISAT to an Event-Driven Model

4

Project Objective

The objective of this project is to identify andimplement subsets of the El Paso ISAT model inan ESRI SDE environment

Provides users with access to the ArcGIS tool-sets and analysis toolsIncrease opportunities to utilize commercial off-the-shelf productsBroaden resource poolWill not affect Legacy ApplicationsLow Risk

5

Benefits of extending ISATEnhanced capabilities to visualize our dataEnhanced QA/QC abilitiesEfficiencies in performance and usabilityExtension and introduction of a spatial integration platformPlatform for further enhancements and improvementsOnline real time GIS analysisVersion managed, long transition supported environmentHigh quality map productionFuture access to horizontal applications

DataMgmt

Extended Environment

APDMCompliance

DecisionSupport

Manage pipeline asset and integrity data.• PipeView• SheetGen• Integrity Data Mgr

. Extend Current Environment to Support Centerline Edits and Batch Attribute Edits.• No Impact to current applications• Enhanced Efficiency •Integration Platform Leverage GIS Data

APDM Compliance –COTS Applications• Shelf Software• Industry Standard• Still Does not Impact Current Applications.

Fully Compliant System using best of breed • Fully Integrated with Identified Business Systems.• Performance Measurement

Moving to an Object Relational System

Feature Manipulation Engine (FME)

FME Roles• Centerline Update – Legacy applications to ESRI geometry• Domain Synchronization – ISAT system domains to GDB Domains

What is FME ?“FME Desktop is a flexible andpowerful spatial ETL toolset”- www.safe.com

Advantages• “On the fly” data validation• Scripting of weekly synchronization • Multiple data formats• Field type manipulation
