Upgrade ArcMap Workspace XML to Pro's XML Format

Question

In ArcGIS Pro, the database format is identified by the NAUTICAL_ENC_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID, while in ArcMap, it is denoted by NAUTICAL_NIS_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID.

I have extended certain features in the ArcMap environment and exported the results into a new workspace document (NAUTICAL_NIS_TEMPLATE_GX_EXTCLSID --> new_workspace.xml).

However, I 'm  facing challenges using this document(new_workspace.xml)  in ArcGIS Pro .

How to upgrade ArcMap Workspace XML to Pro's XML Format (and s57datadictionary.xml)?

Thanks!

If you have an ArcMap-based workspace that you want to migrate to ArcGIS Pro there is a migration script that will update the ArcMap schema to one that works with ArcGIS Pro. This process would allow you to keep the customized fields you have added to your ArcMap 'NIS' database.

This requires that you have a Product Library in ArcMap as this is one of the inputs to the migration script.

Let me know if you would like us to provide you with the migration script. It would be ideal if we could discuss the use of this script in a phone call so we can share best practices with you before you use the migration script.
