2 Static Data Operations (SDO)
The following SDO changes are deployed with Release 10:
Change Proposal CHM-2414 Upload and Download of SDO User Extensions
Change Proposal CHM-2503 Category change for PR_RUM_45_DPN_DIST_1
Change Proposal CHM-2526 SDO/AIMSL service extension
Change Proposal CHM-2533 Prevent update of records in SDO that have been
updated in SDD
Change Proposal CHM-2553 Changes from ICAO Amendment 38 to Annex 15
2.1 Upload and Download of SDO User Extensions (CHM-2414)
The upload and download capability of SDO User Extensions (UE) is introduced in EAD.
In order to support the exchange of customer specific attributes, which are not part of the AIXM 4.5, an XML schema definition has been defined describing the exchange model for user extensions. This schema is used for both uploading and downloading user extension data in EAD.
Upload of User Extensions
Together with the AIXM 4.5 upload file for EAD an additional file shall be provided, having the same filename but an .uext extension. Upon upload the UE file is validated against the uext schema.
Upload of UE is possible also via ESI and the auto upload feature (IFS).
The auto-upload function ignores the provided uext files (is not upload alone), until the corresponding main upload file is provided in the IFS directory.
Download of User Extensions
In case user extensions are to be downloaded, the client shall indicate so in the standard EAD download request. EAD staff includes it respectively in the created parameter set (check mark). As a result an additional file with the extension ".uext" is created, one for each generated download file. It is created only if there exists any UE values for the content of the download file.
User extensions can have limited read permissions. The download of user extensions from EAD adheres to these permissions and UE data is not provided to download clients who do not have respective read permission. This is assured by the following workflow:
AIXM 4.5 download file is placed into specific IFS directory (e.g. /home/sdo/download1/)
The .uext files are put in the subdirectory under the main download (e.g. /home/sdo/download1/LP)
A separate .uext file is created per every recipient (”created for”) of the parameter set
A separate subdirectory is automatically created per every user that is the recipient of the parameter set (“created for”)
Respective .uext file is placed into the respective subdirectory of the user
EAD staff maintains the access rights of the subdirectories, making it available for the respective organisations
Impact on OUH: Operational User Handbook – Data User, chapter 6.4 and 13.1

Content Information Page 11/68
Version: 2.0 Status: Approved
2.2 Category change for PR_RUM_45_DPN_DIST_1 (CHM-2503)
The existing business rule in SDO (PR_RUM_45_DPN_DIST_1) is updated to be with both category B and C and provide a warning on both Private Slot and Public Slot level. This is instead of current category B only.
The rule reads: "If CODE_TYPE is of type ( 'ICAO' , 'COORD' , 'OTHER' ) then there should not exist any other designated point with CODE_TYPE of ( 'ICAO' , 'COORD' , 'OTHER' ) located within 1NM."
Impact on OUH: No
Impact on user: Update of internal procedures to be considered: No
2.3 SDO/AIMSL Service Extension (CHM-2526)
SDO/AIMSL is extended to expose services that are the equivalent of the following existing SDO-DP ESI functionalities:
SDO Update function for uploading AIXM 4.5 data
Slot Management functions that are necessary for manipulating private slots:
o Create, check, close, reopen, remove, modify, move.
Update of pending data by delete and re-upload, the interface functions are:
o CancelPendingData
o ModifyPendingData
Get administrative, pending, committed data (e.g list of Public Slots, content of private slot etc), the interface functions are:
o RequestPrivateSlotContent (already in AIMSL)
o RequestPrivateSlots (already in AIMSL)
o RequestPublicSlots (already in AIMSL)
o RequestPublicSlotCheckingReport
o RequestPublicSlotContents
Impact on OUH: No
Impact on user: Update of internal procedures to be considered: No
2.4 Prevent update of records in SDO that have been updated in SDD (CHM-2533)
This change introduces necessary safeguards to prevent an update of the same entity of static data in different AIXM versions.
It shall not be possible to update in SDO the data records that have been backward mapped from AIXM 5.1 (SDD)
Organizations that transition and provide their static data in AIXM 5.1, shall not be able to update their data anymore in AIXM 4.5
The backward mapped data is identified and marked in SDO as 4.5*.
The safeguards are implemented on 3 different levels:
Release 10
Content Information Page 12/68
Version: 2.0 Status: Approved
1. Record
A feature (record) that has been changed in AIXM 5.1 (SDD) shall not be editable in AIXM 4.5 (SDO) anymore. This check is implemented as Level A check.
In the SDO application the Edit/Update button is disabled for those records and they include 4.5* in their version information.
2. Private Slot
Private Slots in SDO that contain backward mapped data from SDD are marked as 4.5*. Those slots are visible in Slot tree only for EAD staff.
3. Organisation
After an organisation has transitioned to SDD and provides static data in EAD in AIXM 5.1 format, all users within this organisation are no longer able to update static data in AIXM 4.5 (SDO).
In the SDO application the Edit/Update button is disabled for those users.
Impact on OUH: Operational User Handbook – Data Provider, chapter 6
Impact on user: Update of internal procedures to be considered: Yes
2.5 Changes from ICAO Amendment 38 to Annex 15 (CHM-2553)
Based on ICAO Amendment 38 to Annex 15, the capability to enter Performance Based Navigation (PBN) specific data in SDO is introduced.
The capability to include PBN will be possible by introducing specific User Extensions. These specific User Extensions will not be placed in the UE tab page in SDO, but will have a separate tab page named “PBN”. It is made available for the following entities in SDO:
AHP Usage Condition (AUC)
Route segment (RSG)
STAR (SIA)
SID (SID)
IAP (IAP)
Procedure Leg PLG)
The user shall select the respective PBN value and pay utmost attention to the correctness and applicability of the value selected.

Change Proposal CHM-2543 SDD Reporting via WFM
3.1 AIXM 5.1 input via AIMSL
With Release 10, the AIXM 5.1 (SDD) input capability via AIMSL is introduced in EAD.
This capability impacts both data provision and usage of static data in EAD. All EAD Clients are requested to read carefully the provided information. Further details can be provided upon request.
Additional documentation on limitations accompanying the release deployment will be provided.
Basic Principles
Data in AIXM 4.5 format will be maintained in SDO.
Data in AIXM 5.1 format will be maintained in SDD.
Data in SDO is mapped and replicated to SDD: the process is named forward mapping.
Data loaded in SDD is mapped and replicated to SDO: the process is named backward mapping.
SDD will be the reference database for static data but both formats will coexist in EAD until further notice.
An ECIT interface is not yet implemented by EAD and only static data provider clients who implement the provided AIMSL interface can transition to SDD, providing and maintaining their data in AIXM 5.1.
The worldwide minimum dataset continues to be updated by DOP in SDO (AIXM 4.5).
Synchronisation
Necessary processes and services are put in place assuring continuous synchronisation between SDO and SDD, allowing the maintenance of static data in both formats in an efficient way.
SDD is populated with:
1. Native AIXM 5.1 data
2. Data replicated (forward mapped) from SDO (AIXM 4.5)
SDO is populated with:
1. Native AIXM 4.5 data
2. Data backward mapped from SDD (AXM 5.1)

Data loaded in SDO, mapped from SDD, is called 4.5* data. Those data will not be again forward mapped to SDD.
The replication from SDO to SDD and the mapping from SDD to SDO are designed to keep both databases synchronized at the defined dataset level.
Data Maintenance in SDD
There is no slot concept in SDD. The slot concept of SDO is used for validation purposes in SDD. When an update is made to SDD via upload, the system will run the needed checks.
If all the checks are passed successfully, including the upload of the backward mapped data to SDO and related slot management.
The data is automatically and immediately “committed”. The concept of commit is then different to SDO because there is no manual commit of the data anymore.
If any of the checks fails, the upload file is rejected. This process is automated and not monitored by DOP service.
The status “Pending” does not exists in SDD. Data is in status “Pending” only while the system runs the relevant checks and internal processes, but data in status “Pending” cannot be manipulated or visualized.
The high level process for data maintenance in SDD is:
1. An AIXM 5.1 file is received in SDD via AIMSL.
2. Preparation phase: including file integrity check and schema validation.
3. Upload phase: including (AIXM 5.1) business rules check and mapping to SDO.
Forward mapping
All data maintained in 4.5 in SDO is forward mapped to 5.1 features in SDD, except the following ones:
Apron geometry
Obstacle for FATO direction
FATO direction STAR
FATO protection area
FATO protect area geometry
Runway protect area geometry
Special navigation system station
TLOF geometry
TLOF safe area geometry
The exceptions are due to little or no data available in SDO or due to significant differences between the models (e.g. procedure legs).
Backward mapping
The following 5.1 features are backward mapped from SDD to the corresponding 4.5 entities in SDO:
Airport Heliport
Airspace
Airspace Aggreg Comp
Airspace Border
Airspace Corridor
Airspace Derived Geometry
Authority For Airspace

Ref OPADD chapter 2.3.5.3, Qualifier FIR
A new validation is introduced for supra-national NOTAM creation and processing, checking that the nationality letters in Q-FIR correspond to the nationality letters of the first FIR in Item A).
In case this rule is violated an error is provided, forcing the user to update the NOTAM.
Ref OPADD chapter 2.3.13.6, Qualifier Radius
A possibility to define a radius range for certain NOTAM subjects is introduced based on the below table from OPADD. Those values are managed by EAD staff within NOTAM Selection Criteria (NCS) of EAD. While the range is introduced newly, the possibility of providing default value still remains.
During NOTAM creation and processing it is validated that the radius value in NOTAM is within the range defined in NCS.
In case this rule is violated a warning is provided, asking the user to consider and update of the NOTAM.

5.4 Common Address Book enhancements (CHM-2559)
The address book management in EAD remains with default (R9) configuration also after the R10. The change described here is available and can be activated for clients with their own database. A service ticket shall be raised for triggering the migration and configuration accordingly.
Common Address Book management in EAD is updated with the following principles:
The Client External Address Book database will be the master storage point for INODU client information.
EAD Common Address Book reads all data from the client’s directory.
Organization is responsible for maintaining their own client records. Client’s directory shall also be used for storing INODU clients, including notification settings and contact information needed for notifications.

The client management application in the Data User GUI is removed and therefore, the Client/Address Management menu item in INO DU application is renamed to “Address Management”.
Defined business rules for ARCID, E-mail and phone number must be applied by organisations managing their own data.
Figure 5-19 Data User – Menu tree
Automated Client Association
A client record can contain a specified ARCID attribute. When an incoming flight plan from IFPS is stored in the Data User 'FPL list', client records are checked to see if their ARCID attribute information matches the flight plan Aircraft ID information. If a match is made, the client's information, such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and notification settings is copied into the flight plan. However if more than one match is
Release 10
Content Information Page 42/68
Version: 2.0 Status: Approved
found, then NO information is copied into the flight plan and no client is notified (by the INODU Briefing Facility notification mechanism for flight plans). The contact information stored in the flight plan is used by the INODU system for sending FPL notifications or distributing a PIB based on the flight plan.
Each organization is able to configure the automated mapping of client contacts to incoming FPLs via respective CI properties in Corporate Identity application. When the CI property 'Automated client data mapping to FPL' is set to 'TRUE' (the default value), client data is automatically mapped to an FPL based on its ARCID information. When the property is set to 'FALSE', no client mapping is done for incoming FPLs of concerned organization.
Also when the property is set to 'False' there no client data are stored in the INO DU system for the back-up purposes.
Back-up
INO DU remains independent of the Client’s Address Book data sources. When client data are received from the Client’s Address Book, the INO DU stores them in a local client database - separately from the flight plans. Information stored in this local client database is not directly connected with any flight plan, but can be used as a data source if the connection to the Common Address Book interface is not available.

The Client Security Officer can manage the CRC roles (DATA_USER, DATA_PROVIDER, ADMINISTRATOR) for users of his/her organisation. By default, no user has CRC role.
New file operation function “ShowKey” is made available in IFS allowing user to retrieve the key of a file directly in the IFS.
Client AIMSL operations are impacted as follows:
1. CRC checksum can be stored by the client and the associated transaction identifier (key value) can be added to the AIMSL request header.
2. AIMSL will automatically store a CRC checksum for response messages and provide the associated transaction identifier (key value) to the client in the AIMSL response header.
Client ECIT operations impacted as follows:
1. Data Providers uploading data to SDO and PAMS can use CRC HMI provided by EAD to store a CRC Checksum for the file being uploaded.

Release 10
Content Information Page 62/68
Version: 2.0 Status: Approved
SDO integration for ADQ Phase 2 changes
The SDO web services are extended to support the following additional requests:
SDD uses the private slot checks of SDO for ensuring AIXM 5.1 data can be backward mapped. For this reason a functionality is needed, which allows to retrieve the status of the backward mapped slot, without the need to loop through all private slots of a public slot. It is also necessary for retrieving the status, in case the default AIMSL response is lost for a technical reason (e.g. hardware failure of the system).
WFM needs all public slots which private slot closing date is not reached. Therefore the existing function RequestPublicSlots is enhanced. A possibility is added to filter slots which private slot closing date is not reached.
SDD download
