The object acronyms and attributes available for database objects is controlled by pool and profile catalogue files. These files are in XML format and can be uploaded to and downloaded from BDB Server via the Upload Catalogue and Download Catalogue commands in the Administration Tools. A variety of sample catalogue files are provided with the BDB Server installation. Each catalogue contains object and attributes acronyms that related to specific data formats or tasks. These files can be found in C:\Program Files\CARIS\BDB Server\<version>\system\SampleCatalogues
Catalogue files can be edited as needed to meet the needs of your data.
The default catalogue files used by BDB Server are:
• HydrographicOfficePool.xml: This file contains user definable attributes and attribute values. These attribute definitions can be changed and applied to a database.
• HydrographicOfficeProfile.xml: This file contains the user definable profile that enables attributes and attribute values, and defines mandatory attributes, associated controls, and relationships.
To change the default files used by the application, you must change the BathyObjectPool and BathyObjectProfile variables in the Environment Settings tab of the Administration tools.
