Hello @GabrielAweya
The NIS and Product Library geodatabases are required for creating nautical charts in ArcMap.
For creating the NIS database, you can follow the steps in this guide: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.7/extensions/maritime-charting-guide/admin-nis-sql-server/cr...
For the Product Library, you can download the preconfigured workspace schema for the maritime Product Library from the Maritime product support page: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=df30e1f503204ab0a7d2aa88e277f3df The product library schema for ENC and Paper chart production is called "ENC_and_Paper_Chart_Product_Library.xml".
You can import the schema using the Import XML Workspace Document tool.
If your Product Library will be stored in an enterprise geodatabase, you can find the guides for setting SQL or Oracle geodatabases: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/maritime-charting-guide/admin-pl-sql-server/i...
If your Product Library is in a file geodatabase, you can skip the enterprise geodatabse configuration steps and follow the documentation under the following topic:
Once your databases are ready for production, you will have to Import or create data in the NIS. Once you have the data in the NIS, you can define the chart product in the Product Library and create your nautical chart by following this guide:
Please let us know if there are any specific steps in the configuration that are unclear.
Also, if you are interested in automated paper chart creation using the web-based Custom Chart Builder tool, you can register for the webinar that will be held on May 23: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-enterprise/announcements/increase-paper-chart-produ...
