Layer Package and Map Package
- Layer Package (.lpk file)
- A layer package (.lpk file) is a single, convenient, ready-to-use file containing an ArcGIS Desktop map layer or group layer and the data it uses. Layer packages were introduced in ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1. Desktop users can create layer packages so they can easily share their data with other ArcGIS users, as well as make these layers, including their attributes and the way they have been symbolized, available for display in ArcGIS Explorer. Once you've added a layer package to ArcGIS Explorer you can work with its contents like any other layer. For example, if available you can click layer features to identify them, view a layer package's legend, hide and show its layers, etc.
- Map Package (.mpk file)
- With ArcGIS 10, complete map documents can be shared using map packages. Map packages include a map document (.mxd) and the data referenced by the map layers packaged into one portable file. Like layer packages, map packages make it easy to share maps that include the symbology of the source map by uploading the MPK file directly to ArcGIS Online or saving it locally and e-mailing it or making it available on a file share. Another valuable use for map packages is documenting your work, because a map package is a snapshot of the map and the current state of its data.
PostGIS
Enterprise Geodatabases unterstützen ab ArcGIS 9.3 (via ArcSDE) PostgreSQL: ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop unterstützt u.a. PostGIS und Oracle.
How to edit geometries stored in PostGIS (non versioned) with ArcMap and QGIS
Tested with: ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Desktop Advanced, ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Server, QGIS 2.6.1 Brighton, PostgreSQL 9.2.9-3, PostGIS 2.1.
Follow these steps:
- Given a feature class in ArcGIS.
- With pgAdmin create a new database using "template_postgis_20" (let's name it 'mydatabase').
- From ArcCatalog - System Toolboxes - Data Management Tools - Geodatabase Administration - Create Enterprise Geodatabase "esrifi" your previously created database (in the Database field write the name of the database (mydatabase) previously created with pgAdmin)
- From ArcCatalog - Add Database Connection - connect to your "esrified" geodatabase using sde superuser credentials (previously created). A new connection will be created.
- Right click on the newly created connection - Administration - Add user 'mydatabaseuser'.
- Disconnect as sde and connect back to the database with the new user's credentials. Here is a trick: ArcMap have a latency in disconnecting the previous connection. So, delete the previous sde connection and restart ArcMap or do whatever you now to be sure that you are connecting as the newly created user.
- Connected as newly created user at ArcMap - Right click on connection - Import - Feature classes; and don't forget here at the bottom of the dialogue box "Geodatabase Settings (optional)" to choose PG_GEOMETRY.
- Go back to pgAdmin and in the user's schema (not the SDE schema):
1. Define a primary key on objectid column : ALTER TABLE mydatabaseuser.mydatabase ADD CONSTRAINT objectid_pkey PRIMARY KEY(objectid); 2. Create a sequence : CREATE SEQUENCE mydatabaseuser.mydatabase_objectid_sequence START 10000; ALTER TABLE mydatabaseuser.mydatabase_objectid_sequence OWNER TO mydatabaseuser; 3. Autoincrement objectid column values according to the corresponding sequence. ALTER TABLE mydatabaseuser.mydatabase ALTER COLUMN objectid SET DEFAULT nextval('mydatabaseuser.mydatabase_objectid_sequence');

Datenaustausch
Lesen und Schreiben von Geodatabases
- OGR
- Personal Geodatabase Converter
- GIS-Konverter allgemein
OGR
OGR (standalone) unterstützt ArcGIS-Formate lesen und schreibend.
AmigoCloud's GDAL/OGR Plugin for ArcGIS - eine Extension (Open Source):
- Gives ArcGIS access to any of the vector formats supported by OGR. Since PostGIS is one of them, you can add it to ArcMap easily - just supply a Postgres connection string in the form of: PG:dbname=mydb host=myserver user=myuser . The plugin is free and Open Source. I have not created an installer yet (we have an installer that is part of a bigger suite for our beta users), but I did add experimental binaries that have been tested with ArcGIS 10.1 SP1. If you compile the code yourself, you should be able to make it work in previous ArcGIS versions, too.
- Formats Supported: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html.
- Download (binaries) and Source : https://github.com/RBURHUM/arcgis-ogr .
