Export to S-57

The ExportToS57 command can export a group of verified features within an HPD schema to an S-57 file.

• Exported features are contained within a two-point rectangle that is defined using WGS84 (LLDG) coordinates.

• Only features that are completely inside or intersect the boundary are exported.

• Intersecting features are clipped so that only those segments within the boundary are exported.

The exportToS57 command cannot be used with features that cross the 180° meridian – make sure that the S-57 file boundary is clipped to either side of the meridian.

The ExportToS57 command includes mandatory and optional parameters. These parameters define the boundary and metadata of the S-57 file. Since the ExportToS57 command is essentially a batch file, so you can save the file with a BAT extension and reuse it as needed.

While the parameters that define the metadata (header) of the S-57 file are optional, these must correspond to the parameter entries in the HPD S57ProductInfo.xml file. If a parameter value is not in S57ProductInfo.xml, then the export will fail. For more information on S57ProductInfo.xml, see Support Files.

Parameter	Status	Description
OUTFILE	Mandatory	The S-57 file created from the export.
HPD_SERV	Mandatory	The Oracle database containing the HPD schema.
HPD_USER	Mandatory	Owner of the schema from which data is being exported.
HPD_PASS	Mandatory	Schema owner password
HPD_PROFILE	Mandatory	Name of the profile to be used when loading the verified source data for conversion. The name of the HPD profiles can be located in the Catalogue Editor.
HPD_USAGE	Mandatory	Name of the usage that contains the verified source data. Use double-quotation marks if the name contains a space. For example, `HPD_USAGE=”Approach(5000-34999)"`
S57_MINX	Mandatory	The minimum x-value (longitude) for defining the area extent in decimal degrees. A minus sign indicates that the coordinate is in the Western hemisphere.
S57_MINY	Mandatory	The minimum y-value (latitude) for defining the area extent in decimal degrees. A minus sign indicates that the coordinate is in the Southern hemisphere.
S57_MAXX	Mandatory	The maximum x-value (longitude) for defining the area extent in decimal degrees. A minus sign indicates that the coordinate is in the Western hemisphere.
S57_MAXY	Mandatory	The maximum y-value (latitude) for defining the area extent in decimal degrees. A minus sign indicates that the coordinate is in the Southern hemisphere.
S57_SCALE	Mandatory	Scale of the S-57 file created from the exported features.
S57_ID	Optional	Product ID to designate S-57 product type (as defined in the Source Editor’s `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to ENC if no value is entered.
S57_KEY	Optional	Product key to be used for export (as defined in the Source Editor’s `S57ProductInfo.xml` file) This defaults to ENC if no value is entered.
S57_VER	Optional	Product version (as defined in the Source Editor’s `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to 3.2 if no value is entered.
S57_INTU	Optional	Usage for S-57 data (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to 1 if no value is entered.
S57_PUNI	Optional	Positional accuracy units for S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file) This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_DUNI	Optional	Depth units for the S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_HUNI	Optional	Height units for the S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_HDAT	Optional	Horizontal datum for S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_SDAT	Optional	Sounding datum for S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_VDAT	Optional	Vertical datum for S-57 file (as defined in the S`57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_ATTF	Optional	The ATTF lexical level for S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
S57_NATF	Optional	The NATF lexical level for S-57 file (as defined in the `S57ProductInfo.xml` file). This defaults to value with the smallest ID if no value is entered.
