Edit the loader.config file in d:\astun\tools\loader-addressbase\python to use the AddressBase Import.

These instructions are based on having iShare on the d: drive, it may be necessary to use a different folder structure depending upon your environment.


  • Point Loader to the Source, Output and Tmp folders created in Step 1. Note: no spaces. e.g.


Loader Directories
src_dir=d:\\astun\\tools\\loader-addressbase\\source
out_dir=d:\\astun\\tools\\loader-addressbase\\output
tmp_dir=d:\\astun\\tools\\loader-addressbase\\tmp


  • Update the ogr_cmd in the loader.config file so that the postgres credentials map to those of the addressbase database e.g.


ogr_cmd
ogr_cmd=ogr2ogr --config GML_EXPOSE_FID NO -append -skipfailures -f PostgreSQL PG:'dbname=addressbase active_schema=addressbase_temp host=localhost user=[YOUR USERNAME] password=[YOUR_PASSWORD]' $file_path


  • Update the prep_cmd to use the OS AddressBase Premium preparation logic e.g.

 

prep_cmd
prep_cmd=python prepgml4ogr.py $file_path prep_osgml.prep_addressbase_premium

 

  • Update the gfs_file command to specify the appropriate schema for the data e.g.

 

gfs_file
gfs_file=../gfs/addressbase_premium_postgres.gfs
