Maps and Apps Question - Local Government

[SteveGoates]

Hello,

I am trying to start using the Local Government Information Model and the Local Government Maps and Apps.

These are billed as a collection of Maps and Apps that "can be configured for knowledge workers in your organization and the citizens you serve".

I got some of my data into the LGIM, and downloaded the Local Government Basemaps to start.

After re-pathing some of the data in the .mxd i ran into drawing problems, specificially "One or more layers failed to draw:

City:  2K:  Building Footprints_2K:  Attribute column not found [42S22:[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'SHAPE_Area'.] [NCSD_LGIM_Data.DBO.BuildingFootprint]"

When i contacted ESRI support for help, I was told that the Local Govt maps and apps are just for example, not for my own use - (re-pathing with my own LGIM data).  The analyst said that they had "never seen that work".

I don't feel that is right, seems to me like these .mxd's are distributed with the intent of people re-pathing to their own data, no?

Thanks for any help or insights.

Allison,

Sadly, Geonet doesn't allow users to Private Message someone that has not added them as a friend. I would be interested in using this tool as I still get glitches when I re-path the other way.

Thank you.

Hi Brian,

This tool is available here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=6003a9c2566f447996ce514a63a34732

This is a great tool but I think it might be overlooking definition queries or it may be that I am using a slightly out of date LGIM.  For me it didn't change the area field in the definition queries for my waterbodies in the editing basemap in the AddressDataManagement map.

The tool should update the def queries. What type of databases are you using?

SQL Express

Jeff,

Could contact Esri Support? This should work and they'll be able to help you troubleshoot what's going on.

I just fixed it in the map rather than try to make it work.  Most of the layers came across fine except the water bodies so it wasn't too much trouble to just fix it.
