What’s New in the latest GTData
The latest version of GTData (version 8.0.0.4) contains four new utilities. If we count the recently released version 8.0.0.3, we can add a 5th new utility.
There are now some 55 different utilities provided with GTData. The latest additions may not be of immediate use to many of you, but I want to use this post to run through what they do. After all, knowing what tools you have may be as useful as having the tool in the first place.
GTRemoveAttr – this utility will take a GTViewer tabular data file (data.txt) and a list of table/attribute pairs and produce a new tabular data file with the specified attribute values obscured (replaced with asterisks). Some customers have asked for this functionality to simply the process of building alternate GTViewer datasets to give to contractor or other entities outside their company. While you may say, that you could just create an alternate .GTM file that specifies a data.tab with the attributes hidden, you would be right, but the GTRemoveAttr utility will physically remove the sensitive data out of the data.txt file making it the safest way to distribute the data (other than loading the data without the sensitive data in the first place).
GTPreset – this utility solves the difficult problem of keeping your Display Preset definitions (.gtp) in sync with changing data. With Style Definition based datasets like G/Tech, ESRI, Smallword, and any GTViewer data produced by FME, the continual addition of new Filter Ids as new style or features show up make it challenging to keep the Display Presets up-to-date. After all, the .GTP files have been created by taking a snapshot of the current display settings and exporting them to a file. The GTPreset utility takes a .GTM file and a Display Definition File and produces a new .GTP file on demand. This step can be added to the conversion process and will always keep the Display Presets current with the data. How this works is that the Display Definition file describes the state of the display settings for the Preset in a different way than with just Category and Filter ids, so that the more abstract description can be used to generate the preset instead of the snapshot of view settings. The Display Definition File uses the same notation as the Display Toggle Definition recently added to GTViewer's ToolBox functionality, so they can easily describe what you want the preset to be using GIS Feature/Component Numbers to set a feature on or off, or using more general concepts like everything in a particular category is set on or off. This approach was added to GTQuery a couple of years ago to solve this same problem when building queries that were dependent on a changing set of Filter ids. Now, the Presets can use the same technique to always stay in sync with the data.
GTGtx2Gtg – this utility allows you to perform a common task in GTViewer on the command-line (or in a script). Instead of opening up an Extract file (.gtx) in GTViewer, selecting Draw/Export/Export Graphics and specifying a file to create (.gtg), you can now use GTGtx2Gtg and specify a .gtx file as input and a .gtg file as output. The session category is then exported out as a new .gtg file. This process can be scripted and can easily process large numbers of .gtx files if necessary.
GTOrcl2Mdb – this utility creates an Access file (.mdb) from a SQL statement and an Oracle connection. There are certainly other ways to perform this task, but this utility provides a means of doing it quickly and easily and in-line with the other GTData utilities. Why would you need to use this process with GTViewer? There turns out to be a couple of problems already that it can solve. With the G/Tech Loader, it turns out that there is often data that is outside the reaches of the Oracle server hosting the G/Tech data such as Customer Information Records, Inspection records, etc. This tool actually uses an OLEDB connection, so it theoretically can pull data from OLEDB data sources other than Oracle, but it was originally intended to be used in conjunction with Oracle. The G/Tech Loader allows an Exported Table to be specified as a Join between a SQL query made to the G/Tech data and a SQL Query made to the Access file. A common key must be present to link the two together, but the end result is just another table the GTViewer data with attributes from both the G/Tech Data and the data in the .MDB file. The second use for this utility is to build an Access file for use with a GTViewer External Application. It is sometime easier to build an app using pure OLEDB in .NET to find application specific data, rather than going through GTViewer's query mechanisms. The Access file can also support multiple indexes, it can contain data from different sources other than the G/Tech database, etc.
GtOrcl2Txt – this utility is very similar to the GTOrcl2Mdb utility except that instead of creating a .MDB file, it outputs the query results to a text file. There are many uses for this utility too, but the primary reason for its creation was to create unique value list files for GTViewer External Applications. For example, if you want a list of unique circuit ids used in your data, this utility can easily make a .txt file that lists these values. The utility's scriptability makes an easy way to keep such lists up-to-date with the data.

Easier Access to the Style Manager in GTViewer
In GTViewer 8.0.x.18+, a new feature was added to streamline one of the most common sequences of operations with the Style Manager. After creating new data for GTViewer with FME or one of the GTData tools, the following workflow arises:
- View the newly converted data with the default styles
- Review a feature that you want to set the styles for
- Get the feature’s Category Id and Filter Id
- Open up the Style Manger
- On the Style Manger dialog, navigate to the Category, then to the Filter Id
- Adjust the Style
- Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
This process is not so bad until you do it a few hundred times. However, you now have the option to set a flag in the [Additional Properties] section of the .GTM file to enable a new feature:
AttributeInfoEditStyle=1
With this flag set, you review a feature as normal. On Attribute Info Dialog’s Element tab, there is a new button at the bottom right called Edit Style:
Now, with one button click, the Style Manager is opened, the Category id and Filter Id are set from the Element Tab's info, and any assigned Style Mapping and Definition are selected.By default, this option is turned off because it is probably not very useful (and somewhat distracting) to the ordinary user. However, if you are setting or tweaking a few or a lot of styles, this option is a great time saver.

TechEd 2009 in Los Angeles
This year the TechEd Developers Conference was merged with the TechEd IT conference and happened last week in Los Angeles. While there were significantly fewer Developer oriented sessions, it was interesting to sit in some of the IT sessions. With around 700 sessions to choose from and only about 20 you can actually attend, the need to be particular about what you want to learn becomes very important. I heavily weighted my track with “Mobile”, but I also checked out SQL Server’s Spatial capabilities, and the future directions of the development environments and programming languages.
The push, I mean focus, this year was definitely the yet to be released Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, followed by a healthy dose of Virtualization in the form of Hyper-V and Windows Virtual PC.
I did have an opportunity to run GTViewer on a beta copy of Windows 7 at the “Bring Your Own App Lab.” There were a few glitchy things with reading some values out of the registry, but overall I was very pleased with how well GTViewer worked the first time on Windows 7. I have already checked off a lot of grief on my to-do list from this experience. The free booze they were passing out was not even necessary to favorably color my opinion of Windows 7.
The focus last year was definitely LINQ, which seems to have been toned down now to is actual value. WPF and Silverlight, looked cool to try, but now they look usable. Microsoft’s creation of tools to help spawn the development of new programming languages is supposed to bring about an explosion in new languages. I along with everyone else in the Polyglot Programmer session cringed at the idea of having to learn dozens of new languages, but like LINQ, this idea may fade into a manageable and productive tool in our programming arsenal. I was hoping to see Windows Workflow (WF) be a hotter topic than it apparently is, but it may take a few iterations before it catches on.
I was pretty pleased with TechEd 2009. I will continue to process the information for a while.
