Hi all,
Is there any ideas why the DICT table is not exported in the AGS file?
The table is set in the database (with data as it should) and the gcx file looks ok. It's an AGS4 file export.
Thanks.
Dennis,
The AGS4 file that gets created when you export from a gINT database will only have the DICT Group if your gINT AGS4 database has non-standard AGS Group and AGS Heading names.
What are you using for your AGS4 gINT database? Did you setup the database yourself?
Hi Dave,
Yes I've setup the database myself. I have a DICT table with the appropriate headings and the correspondence file as suppose to, but the DICT table is still not exported.
I'm using a AGS4 database so it would be easier and "straight forward" (as possible as it can be within gINT) to deal AGS4 data transfer files, without creating a massive and complex correspondence file.
Dave,
That's exactly what I did, probably something else that I miss is wrong!
It is also possible that there is a bug in gINT causing the problem. I will add a non-standard field to a table and then update my DICT table. From other postings it looks like you are running the latest posted gINT build. I am not running the latest build, so I am not sure it that will help out much but it is worth a try.
That might be the case. I'm not running the latest built of gINT (I'm using 8.30.02.39). Hopefully I'm going to have it installed today and give it a try again. Thanks, Dave.
Sorry about that. Your posting about the AGS Checker is what I was thinking about. Kathleen suggested installing 8.30.03.077, I thought you were already running that. My mistake. My build is older than what you are currently running.
Hi,
gINT latest built installed (8.30.03.077), DICT table updated, correspondence file updated and checked DICT table still nowhere in the AGS4 exported file. It seems like I'm missing something or something is wrong.
any ideas?
You indicated that you have some non-AGS fields in your gINT database. How have you defined them in the AGS Template file?
For example, I have the following two non-AGS fields in the Point table:
HOLE_CKBY and HOLE_CKDT.
The LOCA group is equivalent to the POINT table, so those two fields need to be exported to the LOCA table.
The AGS Template file needs to have them included in the LOCA group as follows:
?HOLE_CKBY
?HOLE_CKDT
With the appropriate data types and units included also.
Then, they get mapped in the gINT Correspondence File.
As long as the fields are setup correctly in the AGS Template file and included in the DICT table they will get exported in the AGS file.
If you want an extra set of eyes to look at your files, please send me the project file and Correspondence File.
