Point Data products include Master Location Data (MLD), Centrus Points, HERE Points, and Centrus TomTom Points. The points data provides point-level geocoding for the most accurate placement of addresses throughout the U.S.
When matching to a Point Data file, complete the following procedure:
Load the Point Data Files
On Windows:
-
Click Start > Programs > Precisely > GeoTAX > Database Load Utility.
The GeoTAX Database Load Utility dialog box opens.
-
Select the GeoTAX master files option.
-
To complete the loading process, follow the instructions provided by the utility.
On UNIX/Linux:
Copy the Point Data files into the $G1GTXDB directory (the database area).
On z/OS:
-
Make sure there is enough space on z/OS to hold the file you will be uploading. Create a file with these attributes:
DCB=(RECFM=FBS,LRECL=8192,BLKSIZE=24576,DSORG=PS)
-
FTP the file up in binary mode. Alternately, copy and modify the GTXDBINS JCL member to create and FTP the data you want to use on z/OS.
Loading Point Data to a Different Folder
If you choose to load the point data into a folder other than the GeoTAX DB location, you will need to modify the setup.bat batch file, which is located in:
C:\Program Files\Precisely\GeoTAX\bin (default install location)
Edit the following command to point to the location of your data:
SET GTGSADR=%G1DB%;C:\New Folder\PointData
.
