One Feature, One Time.

Eliminate Redundancy in Data Management with the CARIS Hydrographic Production Database (HPD). Using Oracle® data processing, HPD offers an integrated suite of applications, providing for simultaneous data processing and workflows by multiple users. Efficiency is maximized for data storage with features being stored only once, with the ability to create multiple representations for different products.

Manipulate, analyze and compile data using intuitive CARIS tools, and create products with confidence.

Implement the HPD suite of products for production of S-57 and S-101 ENCs, S-57 IENCs, S-57 AMLs, Paper Charts to IHO standards, or the creation and maintenance of non-chart Nautical Publications and Generic Products based on user-defined sets of features. The HPD editors derive products from the source data in the same database. Updates to source are carried automatically to multiple products. Product-specific features and customizations can be made concurrently without affecting the source features.

In support of the new S-100 data standard, users can now create S-100 products in HPD. Users can gain familiarity with the new complex and multiplicity attribute types, work with information types, assign S-100 portrayal to features, convert ENC and DNC to S-101 and work with the expanding registry of S-100 product specifications.

HPD Server for PostgreSQL

CARIS HPD 5.0 introduces support for the open-source PostgreSQL database as a lower-cost enterprise option. 

• PostgreSQL 15 and PostGIS 3.3 and later versions are supported.
• CARIS Server Utility and CARISBatch can be used to create an HPD schema on a PostgreSQL database.
• An HPD Server for PostgreSQL licence is required to use PostgreSQL as a database. 

*Note: HPD API views are supported with PostgreSQL, but other API calls are not.

Updated S-100 and S-101 Support

HPD 5,0 and S-100 Composer 5.0 includes support for S-100 Edition 5, and support for production of S-101 Edition 1.1.0 ENCs. In addition, has HPD 5.0 and S-100 Composer 5.0 been tested with various S-100 product specifications, including S-122 Marine Protected Areas, S-123 Marine Radio Services, S-127 Marine Traffic Management, S-401 Inland ENC. System files, such as feature catalogues, as not installed with the software, but can be requested by contacting the CARIS Customer Service Team.

New S-100 Catalogue Editor

The new S-100 Catalogue Editor allows for editing and validation of existing S-100 feature catalogues and creation of new ones.

Feature and attributes can be added, edited and removed from feature catalogues, associations can be defined, etc., now with support for S-100 feature catalogues, to be used in CARIS and for other platforms supporting S-100 feature catalogues.

Automation Enhancements

To integrate with third party solutions or to include their own business logic, users can now create custom processes written in python script. These processes can be used within CARIS Process Designer to add flexibility in process model design. Additionally, CARISbatch can now launch process models. With the combination of these different functionalities enhanced CARIS automation tools, it is now possible to execute automated workflows across CARIS applications.

Log generation is supported when scripted processes are run.

These different tools allow users to use a single application as a hub for their automation launch.
