Administration EFS 2.7 EFS - Points of Configuration Post install of EFS requires additional configuration –Image Tool Properties (warehouses) –Address Search Setup –SDE Credentials –Any other non-default settings desired

Administration EFS 2.7 New Install of EFS? Run the installer Leverage Pictometry Configuration File –.PCF files created in EFS Config Editor –New license automatically used –EFS is installed FULLY CONFIGURED

Administration EFS 2.7 EFS Documentation Is installed along with the application!

Administration EFS 2.7 Documentation Listing of documentation that we provide –EFS 2.7 User Guide –Getting Started –Quick Reference Guide Can make this available to whomever needs access to it. You can print as many as needed.

Administration EFS 2.7 EFS Configuration Editor Administrative Tool Only Captures desired settings into a file The file is a ‘Pictometry Configuration File’ The PCF file is used during the install of EFS on to remaining PCs

Administration EFS 2.7 Address Search Functions This setup information is tracked in a unique location in the computers registry. Address Search Profiles added via a PCF file are always additive.

Administration EFS 2.7 Steps for EFS Configuration Editor Install EFS and fully configure as desired Install the EFS Configuration Editor Create a PCF file Copy PCF into the EFS Installer Folder –Only ONE PCF file should be there at a time Install EFS on additional machines Directions: –EFS 2.7 SysAdminGuide.pdf

Administration EFS 2.7 Address Search Functions Address Search Setup and Profiles Based on GIS Data Attributes Search for ‘Addresses’ based on –Parcel or Centroid file –GeoCode from Street Centerlines

Administration EFS 2.7 GIS Data Recommended Data Attributes –Address Lookups Parcel or Address Points with parsed fields for –Street Numeric Address –Pre-Direction –Street Name –Post Direction –Street Type

Administration EFS 2.7 GIS Data Recommended Data Attributes –GeoCode Lookups Street Centerline Layer with fields for –Pre-Direction –Street Name –Post Direction –Street Type –Address Range – Left Hi and Left Lo –Address Range = Right Hi and Left Lo

Administration EFS 2.7 Address Search Functions A profile defines one ‘search’ setup Pictometry creates ‘index’ files (.pdx) –MUST be kept in lockstep with GIS Updates You can ‘export’ and ‘import’ Address Profiles You can incorporate them into.PCF files Note: This configuration component is an EFS configuration, NOT a workspace item. Directions: –EFS 2.7 User Guide Chapter 1 Pg. 1-26

Administration EFS 2.7 Workspace Optimization Without Optimization, users can experience ‘slowness’ when images are being viewed, panned and navigated Usually, the ‘slowness’ results when EFS needs to ‘render’ the GIS data on the images Can also be seen when performing a GIS Query Optimization minimizes the ‘hourglass ’ INDEXING of GIS Shapefiles = Optimization

Administration EFS 2.7 Spatial Index

Administration EFS 2.7 Shape File Indexes There are 4 types of Shape File Indexes that may be created All index files have a.pdx extension: –Spatial Indexes Speeds Rendering of Vector Data as it overlays imagery Manual Creation and Maintenance is required –Query Field Indexes Speeds up GIS Query (or may be required if file is too large) Manual Creation and Maintenance is required –Address Search Profile Indexes Used for Lookup Functions Initial Creation Automatic / Manual Maintenance –Auto-Labeling Indexes For the option to even work Initial Creation Automatic / Manual Maintenance

Administration EFS 2.7 Shape File Indexes - Details All index files follow the following rules –Index files are created and maintained in the same folder where the shape file resides –Note: Beware of Permissions Issues –Index files always have a.PDX extension –Index files follow the naming convention of: SHAPEFILENAME_FIELDNAME.PDX

Administration EFS 2.7 Shape File Indexes - Details All index files follow the following rules –Spatial Index Has a special ‘name’ of SHAPE in filename of the index Ex: StreetCenterlines_SHAPE.PDX –Query Field Indexes Uses chosen field name in filename Ex: Parcel_PIN.PDX –Address Search Profile Indexes Every Search Profile requires a PAIR of index files One for the field associated with ‘NUMBER’ in the profile. Ex: Address_HNUM.PDX One for the field associated with ‘STREET NAME’ in the profile Ex: Address_STNAME.PDX If a Search Field is NOT associated, you still get an index. Ex: Address_.PDX –Auto-Labeling Indexes Every Auto-Label requires a PAIR if index files One is a SPATIAL INDEX (above) One for the field being used for label Ex: StreetCenterlines_FULLNAME.PDX

Administration EFS 2.7 Shape File Indexes Creation and Maintenance –Spatial Indexes Workspace’s GIS Layer Properties – PDX tab Annotate Pulldown – Shapefile Maintenance Custom Toolbar – Shapefile Maintenance Button –Query Field Indexes Workspace GIS Layer ‘Search’ – PDX tab Annotate Pulldown – DBF File Maintenance Custom Toolbar – DBF Maintenance Button –Address Search Profile Indexes When creating or ‘editing’ profile where PDXs are not present Annotate Pulldown – DBF File Maintenance –Auto-Labeling Indexes Workspace’s GIS Layer Properties – PDX tab (Spatial) Annotate Pulldown – Shapefile Maintenance (Spatial) Annotate Pulldown – DBF File Maintenance (Display Field)

Administration EFS 2.7 Suggested Shape File Maintenance Procedures Stage ‘New’ GIS Layer in a STAGING folder –Review the ‘PRODUCTION’ data location to determine indexes that are present –Recreate the required indexes in the STAGING folder –Copy new GIS files AND index files into the PRODUCTION folder once they are created
