The whole Documentation seems to be very detailed and it uses different GEP Connectors as well as the Dashboard. So far so good. I wanted to use the Example to have a deeper look into GEP, but there is one step in the beginning i could not reproduce.
One of the first steps is to copy the Feature Classes from the GEP.gdb to a Enterprise or Workgroup Geodatabase. Where can i find this GDB-File? There is only onw folder called DATA which contains a Map Package. The Map Package contains the MXD files for ArcGIS Version 10.0 and 10.1 but nothing more.
Does anybody of you already tried this tutorial out or can have a look at it what i did wrong?
As you noted, if you allow Desktop to unpack the map package, the *.mxd and supporting data are usually found in folders named v10 and v101 beneath the �?�/ArcGIS/Packages/ folder (usually in your user�??s My Documents folder).
When I open the GEP.mpk from the download in ArcMap, my TOC is full of broken feature layers. The layers appear to be looking for their data in a database named GEP in an instance of SqlExpress named localhost_sqlexpress.
You could either repair the map document by pointing its data layers to the GEP.gdb found in the �?�/02 GeoEvent Processor/Data folder �?� or use a copy of the GEP.mpk I�??ve attached to this thread. The map package I�??ve attached includes the GEP.gdb inside the map package�??s v101 internal folder ... so it should open in ArcMap cleanly without any broken layers.
The reason, by the way, that you need to copy the data to an enterprise geodatabase in your enterprise is that feature services cannot be published with the �??Feature Access�?? capability enabled if the datasets supporting the map document�??s feature layers are in a file geodatabase �?? which is how the data is packaged for distribution when sharing map packages. Using GEP to update the data through a published feature service requires that the 'Feature Access' capability be enabled.
