3. Publishing CTN as Vector Tiles to AGOL

This page outlines steps to create and update vector tile segments and intersection created from the CTN.

The steps below assume you are working out of the project at the path below: G:\ATD\ATD_GIS\CTN\CTN_VectorTiles

This project contains two seperate maps: One for updating segments and the other for updating intersection points.

*THIS PROCESS SHOULD ONLY BE COMPLETED AFTER UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CTN SEGMENTS AND INTERSECTION LAYERS IN MAINT

Segments - Vector Tiles

Verify correct layer configuration

• Make sure appropriate fields are highlighted in the attribute table (these will be the fields included in the vector tile popups).

  • Currently (subject to change): OBJECTID, Project_Extent_ID, FULL_STREET_NAME, FROM_ADDRESS_MIN, TO_ADDRESS_MAX, LINE_TYPE, GLOBALID

Create Vector Tile Package

• Use "Create Vector Tile Package" geoprocessing tool with parameters matching below:

• 

• Add current date at the end of the output file name for update tracking

Share Vector Tile Package to AGOL

• Use "Share Package" geoprocessing tool with parameters matching below:

• 

• This will add both the vector tile package and a vector tile layer to AGOL

Verify published vector tile layer data

• Add the new vector tile layer and the existing "CTN_Segments_Moped" to ArcPro project.

• 

• Toggle layers on and off to verify new features have been capture. If updates have been captured and configuration looks correct proceed to final step.

Replace existing data with updated vector tiles

• Within ArcPro use the "Replace Web Layer" geoprocessing tool with parameters matching below:

• 

• The output of this tool will appear as below in AGOL:

• 

• Three things happen when this tool in ran:

  • The new vector tile layer will replace the existing data in the "CTN_Segments_Moped" tile layer.

  • The tile layer for the new vector tile data will be deleted since it has now replaced the "CTN_Segments_Moped" tile layer. The tile package will remain and can be deleted at this point.

  • The existing data that was held in the "CTN_Segments_Moped" tile layer will be archived in a tile layer called "CTN_Segments_Moped_archive_%date of processing%"

Delete any non necessary files from AGOL

• All archive data two months or older and the vector tile package from the new data can be deleted from AGOL

Segments - Feature Service

Verify correct layer configuration

• Make sure appropriate fields are displayed in the attribute table (these will be the fields included in the published feature service).

  • Currently (subject to change): Project_Extent_ID, FULL_STREET_NAME, FROM_ADDRESS_MIN, TO_ADDRESS_MAX, LINE_TYPE

Create Updated Export of CTN

• Make sure all selections are cleared and verify the only query in place matches below:

  • LINE_TYPE IS NOT NULL

• Export parameters should match below:

  • 

Overwrite the Existing AGOL Feature Service

• After verifying everything the export feature class looks correct, right click the the layer in the table of contents go to Sharing -> Overwrite Web Layer.

• In Overwrite Web Layer window, map to the AGOL Feature shown below and click OK

  • 
• This will open AGOL web layer parameters in the right panel which should appear as below. Reveiw and click Publish.

  • 

• Once Publishing in completed, open layer in AGOL to verify the service has been updated

  • 

Intersections - Vector Tiles

Verify correct layer configuration

• Make sure appropriate fields are highlighted in the attribute table (these will be the fields included in the vector tile popups).

  • Currently (subject to change): OBJECTID, IntersectionID

Create Vector Tile Package

• Use "Create Vector Tile Package" geoprocessing tool with parameters matching below:

• 
• Add current date at the end of the output file name for update tracking

Share Vector Tile Package to AGOL

• Use "Share Package" geoprocessing tool with parameters matching below:

• 
• This will add both the vector tile package and a vector tile layer to AGOL

Verify published vector tile layer data

• Add the new vector tile layer and the existing "CTN_Intersections_Moped" to ArcPro project.

• Toggle layers on and off to verify new features have been capture. If updates have been captured and configuration looks correct proceed to final step.

  • The existing data that was held in the "CTN_Intersections_Moped" tile layer will be archived in a tile layer called "CTN_Intersections_Moped_archive_%date of processing%"

Delete any non necessary files from AGOL

• All archive data two months or older and the vector tile package from the new data can be deleted from AGOL
