Is there any problem in using the same point file and have it with two different roles? Example: Point Address and POI? Do you need to use two or will POI role work for good geocoding and for alias names?
I have a site address point feature class that has a parcel id assigned to it. I tried to use this feature class with a primary role of a point address as well as an Alternate POI name and get an error 002783 that tells me 'Reference data that is used for Alternate names tables cannot contain geometry'.
I can however use the same feature class to fill both a Point Address Role and a POI role, although I personally would not do that. My normal practice is to have a multi-role locator with the following data/role pairs:
Site Address Points - Point Address
Parcel Polygons - Parcel
Street Centerlines - Street Address
(I also have a Street Centerlines Alt Name table)
While I don't currently use a POI role, I used to when I worked in 9-1-1 where I had a point file where the primary reference field was a place name. That was in the days prior to the new style role locators.
