STEPS FORREGISTERINGOBSERVATIO

NDATA

New network registration steps

Using the ODM DataLoader, load your data into a blank ODM instance (this will create all ODM tables, including Sites, Variables and SeriesCatalog that HIS application relies on)

Copy Web Services template to a new folder, edit the template web.config file to point to the new ODM, test to make sure the new service works as expected

Create a point layer (a feature class in GDB, or a shapefile) from the new ODM’s Sites table using the GetSitesTool.

Add the point layer to the MXD document, specify symbology, scale-dependent rendering, etc.

Add information about the new ODM, the associated web service, and the associated point layer, to HIS configuration file (see the first slide for the exact content)

Restart the HIS service6
