SpatialSynchronizer
SpatialSynchronizer provides the ability to integrate PODS with ArcSDE. The application keeps ArcSDE graphics immediately synchronized with PODS events. It uses the concept of dynamic segmentation to automatically place graphics at the correct geographic (latitude/longitude) location based on stationing or chainage.
A PODS database can be implemented as a conventional relational database and it can also be fully spatially enabled using ArcSDE. By spatially enabling PODS, each point and linear event in PODS (i.e. Pipe Segments, Valves, MAOP, etc.) becomes an ArcSDE Feature Class.
As a Feature Class, PODS features can be easily viewed graphically in ArcGIS or ArcIMS. The primary challenge with this approach is keeping the graphics synchronized with the features. For example, when a new valve is added, the valve graphic must be in the correct location. If the station of an event changes, the event must move to the new correct location. Likewise, when a valve is deleted, the graphic must disappear. SpatialSynchronizer solves this problem.
SpatialSynchronizer also provides derived layers in ArcSDE. A derived layer is an ArcSDE feature class that contains data from many other PODS linear feature classes. It provides the ability to integrate multiple linear feature classes into a single table. Derived layers are updated on the fly as data is changed.
