SPDSS Memorandum <br />Final <br />To: Ray Alvarado and Ray Bennett <br />From: Riverside Technology, inc., Amnon Nevo and Tim Martin <br />Subject: SPDSS, Spatial System Integration Component, Subtask 99.2 -Modify and Maintain <br />GIS Tools (Memo 2 of 2) <br />Date: 28 September 2006 <br />1. Introduction <br />This memorandum summarizes activities under Task 99 -GIS Support and Data Maintenance, Subtask <br />99.2 -Modify and Maintain GIS Tools. The activities under this Subtask are described in RTi's Scope of <br />Work for SPDSS Phase 3 Spatial System Integration Component. As described in the Scope of Work <br />(page 9) the objective of Task 99 is the following: <br />Provide GIS support and data maintenance for the SPDSS project during Phase 3. Modify, <br />enhance and maintain GIS tools developed under SPDSS for efficient data extraction, mapping <br />and for data dissemination and access. <br />Also described in the Scope of Work (page 10) is the approach for this Subtask that includes: <br />Modify ArcCDSS to accommodate State requirements during Phase 3 and update the associated <br />documentation. <br />Based on results of the System Integration Contractor's recommendations, and through meetings <br />and discussion with the State, the recommended StatelMS (now known as CDSS Map Viewer) <br />upgrade features will be defined. These are likely to include a thinner client, larger map, map <br />tips, pop-up windows, and metadata for statewide layers. Prepare a brief requirements document <br />for approval by the State. Redesign StatelMS as necessary to incorporate the defined <br />requirements, implement and test the features. <br />2. ArcCDSS Modifications <br />Based on recommendations and discussions with State personnel, the following changes were made to the <br />Shapefile Builder tool of the ArcCDSS extension: <br />Upgraded from ArcGIS version 8.3 to version 9.1. <br />The ArcCDSS toolbar was moved from ArcMap to ArcCatalog because ArcCatalog is more <br />useful than ArcMap in managing the shapefiles created by ArcCDSS and because the Shapefile <br />Builder does not make use of the map view in ArcMap. <br />A projection file (.prj) is generated for each Shapefile. This file defines the projection of the <br />Shapefile and is used in applications that project on the fly such as ArcMap. <br />The ID_LABEL_6 ID_LABEL_7 fields are no longer created and added to attribute tables that <br />have a WD and ID columns. Such tables have the ID_LABEL_7 column because it is created by <br />the HydroBase stored procedure that is called by ArcCDSS. <br />Fixed various minor bugs and improved error handling and messaging. <br />Updated the user manual with the above changes. <br />Page 1 of z ~RlYerslde Technology, lnc. <br />Wale.• Aesourre.s Ere~rnce: ~nq un~i Cn~sutlmg <br />
