Administrative Boundaries Project & Business Applications - January 2014

On March 3rd, 2014 an Order in Council to change the structure of the current FLNRO regional and district organizational model will be put into effect.  This includes a transformation from a 3 region/29 district model to an 8 region/24 district model.  As part of this transition, changes will include district amalgamations, as well as the conversation of the current Coast, Southern Interior and Northern Interior regions into 8 new regions.

High level changes:

  • 6 districts will be expired
  • 1 new district will be added
  • 3 existing regions will be expired
  • 8 new regions will be added
  • 4 districts will conduct name changes

Please refer to the attached Current to New Transition Document for a high level overview of changes.

As you may be aware, each region and district is assigned a 3-letter code value. To help minimize the number of impacts, any pre-existing district code values will be kept as-is; with the exception of Selkirk District, which is net new, as well as the 8 new regions. A listing of code values can be found in any of the attached documents. Also note that any district undergoing a name change will continue to use the existing code. For example; DKA - Kamloops Forest District will now be DKA - Thompson Rivers Natural Resource District.

How this affects FLNRO Applications:

The Information Management Branch within the NRS manages the FLNRO region/district code values and names in a centralized database table called ORG_UNIT. This table is utilized by approximately 40 FLNRO business applications (including, FTA, RESULTS, ECAS, HBS, etc). On March 3rd, 2014 this table will be updated to reflect the new structure and this will have many downstream affects within the Ministry applications as well as external processes, such as electronic data submissions. The IMB is undergoing a major project to align the affected business applications for the upcoming changes.

Please refer to the attached TO BE ORG UNIT SPREADSHEET for a comprehensive view of what changes will be made to this database table.

What does this all mean to you?

Any FLNRO electronic data submissions where a district or region code is identified may be impacted (specifically where an existing code value is being expired or a new code is added). Please be aware of the upcoming changes and what that means to your submission process. As of March 3rd, 2014 any region/district values that are not part of the new FLNRO structure will no longer be accepted in your submissions.

Questions?

If you have any questions, please contact your existing FLNRO business support channels, who will provide you with further information and/or routing to an appropriate resource. Or submit a question here:  https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/his/efm/abp-ba-sub.htm

TO BE ORG UNIT spreadsheet - For more technical folks, a mock-up of what our FLNRO database table (called ORG_UNIT) will look like once the changes are applied on March 3rd, 2014. Note that all changes are in red font. ORG_UNIT table is the one table in the FLNRO database that contains the district and region code values and names. This table is used internally by many FLNRO applications. The org unit code values are used externally to the FLNRO applications in various ways (such as ESF submissions).

RELEASE New Results SU Legislative View available in the BC Geographic Warehouse (BCGW) for Ministry internal use 

There is a new RESULTS attribute-only layer in IDWPROD1 called WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_STNDS_UNIT_LEGISLATIVE available for internal Ministry use.

This view indicates the legislative framework each standards units is managed under along with a number of derived data that relates to SU modifications. It contains a Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) reference if the standard unit contains a standards regime ID which is also included in a FSP. Due to the use of Ministry Defaults standards regime ID in FSPs, and in some cases multiple FSPs, it is not possible to systematically identify which FSP the SU reference, so up to three FSPs are identified and the user would have to manually identify which one. The view also contains tenure, client, biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification and milestone information.

This view is an attempt to assist in bulk reporting basis but will not achieve 100% accuracy. The logic used to assign legislation reference code is based on preset assumptions based on legal dates and data coding practices. Transitional legal framework periods, special circumstances, usage related to MOF Defaults standard regimes and poor data coding practices may cause incorrect legislative reference code assignment and would require manual verification.  The derived data in this view requires care in interpretation and use. Important decisions should be referring to the RESULTS source data, if required.

The key data elements in this view that is of interest are as follows:

FIELD

NOTES

LEGISLATION_REF_CODE

WL-Woodlot;

CFA-Community Forest Agreement;

NONLEG-Non- Legislated;

FRPA-FRPA;

FPCFDP –Forest Practices Code with Stocking Standards; FPCPRES-Forest Practices Code;

PFPC-Pre-Forest Practices Code;

UNKN-Unknown

FSP_ID (1,2,3)

While a SU can be associated to one FSP, when there is MOF Defaults SS IDs, they maybe associated to multiple FSPs which will not enable a one-to-one linkage.

FSP_NUMBER

Provides number of FSP found using the same SS ID (caused by MOF Defaults existing in FSPs).

FSP_AMENDMENT_NUMBER (1,2,3)

Provides the most recent FSP amendment number that is either APP (Approved) or INE (In Effect).

FSP_PLAN_NAME (1,2,3)

 

FSP_STATUS_CODE (1,2,3)

 

FSP_PLAN_START_DATE (1,2,3)

 

FSP_PLAN_END_DATE (1,2,3)

 

MOF_DEFAULT_STANDARD_IND

Indicates if the SS ID (Standards Regime ID) is a MOF Default

PLAN_TYPE

Shows whether SU is a Silv Prescription (no SS ID) or Site Plan (has SS ID).

FSP_PRESC_TO_PLAN_IND

Set to “Y” when a SU underwent amendment changing from silv prescription to site plan.

APPROVED_VARIATION_IND

Set to “Y”when there is an Approved Variation tracked for the opening under SU History.

OPEN_AMENDMENT_REQ_APP_IND

Set to “Y”  if the opening underwent a silviculture prescription amendment

OPEN_AMENDMENT_REQ_APP_NO

Number of silv prescription amendments tracked for the opening

MIN_PREF_STOCK_EXIST_IND

Set to “Y” if the SU that has a minimum preferred stocking value

OPENING_FRPA_S197_IND

Set to “Y” if the opening that had a s197 rollover tracked under SU History

FSP_FRPA_S197_IND

Set to “Y”, if the FSP associated with the SU has a s197 Election (for any of the FSP APP or INE amendments)

 Data dictionary for RSLT_STNDS_UNIT_LEGISLATIVE is located at:  https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/his/results/RSLT_STNDS_UNIT_LEGISLATIVE_VW.pdf

General Requirements document that highlights how the view is built with assumption, limitations, and logic is located at:  https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/his/results/General Business Requirements SU Leg View-May 16 2012 v6.pdf

 

At this point, known issues for this view are as follows:

  • PFC_PRESC_TO_PLAN: Indicator is not currently working as intended. There are null values and records that are not showing up as "Y" where expected.
  • FSP_ID: Not all FSP IDs are showing up as expected. There are null values when there should be FSP IDs.
  • LEGISLATION_REF_CODE: UNKN - Unknown has a larger than expected amount that ended up in this category that would likely benefit from future enhancement to improve classification.

Any questions regarding the SU Legislation View should be directed to Matt LeRoy.

Please note RESULTS 4.8.12 is being deployed to production.  The release will address the following items:

  • Opening View fixed to include latest Client;
  • Duplicate Opening Numbers during add new opening and opening definition submissions are no longer allowed;
  • Woodlot Exhibit A spatial map rendering for first time forest cover entries fixed;
  • Site Index is now mandatory for polygons with Stocking Status = IMM, NSR or MAT unless it is a Reserve;
  • WSS now optional for layers 1, 1S, 2, and 2S for polygons with Stocking Status = IMM;
  • Explicit error message generated when trying to delete an opening that has a SPAR sowing request.

July 20th, 2012 – Update - ISSUE with geoprocessing using RESULTS business views inside the BCGW warehouse (LRDW)

The following RESULTS business views in the BCGW warehouse should now function properly in geoprocessing operations:

  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_INV_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_SILV_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_PLANTING_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_RESERVE_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_ACTIVITY_TREATMENT_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_STANDARDS_UNIT_SVW

Please note, WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW is currently under repair and should not be used directly in the BCGW without first exporting from the warehouse.  Once it has been exported from the BCGW warehouse WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW does not appear to yield inaccurate or incomplete outputs in geoprocessing operations. Please report any inconsistent geoprocessing outputs.

To speed things up, WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW has also been exported from the BCGW warehouse and is posted to the FLNR FTP site.  

Please be advised that we have not experienced any difficulties using the non business view (svw) RESULTS featureclasses, these appear to be functioning as expected when run directly in the GEOBC warehouse.

Please contact Application Help if additional help is required.

June 14, 2012 – ISSUE with geoprocessing using RESULTS business views inside the GEOBC warehouse (LRDW)

It has come to our attention that when running geoprocessing operations using the RESULTS business views in the GEOBC warehouse incomplete and potentially inaccurate outputs may result.

The RESULTS business views include:

  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_INV_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_SILV_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_PLANTING_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_RESERVE_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_ACTIVITY_TREATMENT_SVW
  • WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_STANDARDS_UNIT_SVW

Prior to geoprocessing please first export the RESULTS business view(s) of interest from the GEOBC warehouse.

Geoprocessing using RESULTS business views that have first been exported from the GEOBC warehouse does not appear to yield inaccurate or incomplete outputs.

A set of RESULTS Business views has been exported from the GEOBC warehouse and is posted to the FLNRO ftp site at:
https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ftp/HFP/external/!publish/RESULTS_Business_Views_exports/
These exports will be updated every week until the issue is remedied.

Please be advised that we have not experienced any difficulties using the non business view (svw) RESULTS featureclasses, these appear to be functioning as expected when run directly in the GEOBC warehouse.

Please contact Application Help at nrsenquiries@gov.bc.ca if additional help is required.

March 15, 2012 – ESF Submissions to RESULTS

Please be advised that when making ESF submissions to RESULTS using a BCEID  that has both client and org unit authorities the client authority will take precedence.

For example, a BCEID associated with a client name of ACME Ltd. and an org unit of DCK making an ESF submission on behalf of DCK will receive an error message that their submission has been rejected.  The same BCEID making a submission on behalf of ACME Ltd. will not experience any difficulties.

Please note that BCEID’s with multiple client authorities and no org unit authorities, or BCEID’s with multiple org unit authorities and no client authorities will not experience this problem.

The new protocol for the scenario where a BCEID has both client and org unit authorities is that you need to use 2 separate BCEIDS:

  • one for all your Client Number access(es), and
  • one for all your District Access(es).

We are encouraging a consistent naming convention for this 2nd BCEID:

BCEID\LastNameDA, where DA stands for District access, i.e.  BCEID\JohnsonDA.

Please contact Cher Mckittrick, RESULTS access coordinator for help with new BCEID’s or NRS Enquiries if additional clarity on this issue is required.

March 13, 2012 – Stocking Standard Id’s (SSID’s)

Stocking Standard Id’s (SSID’s) are associated with a specific forest stewardship plan (FSP) and are authorized for usage by licensees and districts identified in the FSP in the Forest Stewardship Plan Tracking System (FSPTS).

Authorized licensees may use the FSP’s SSIDs for new site plans or to modify an existing site plan.  Please be advised that when a licensee is removed from the FSP in FSPTS, they can no longer use the FSP’s SSIDs to assign SSIDs in a new opening or to modify any existing openings that had used the FSP’s SSIDs.

Work around:

In RESULTS:

In cases where clients have been removed from FSPs  as a plan holder (because they no longer have any licences under the FSP) and are needing to add SSID’s from the FSP in question to a site plan, NRS Enquiries with approval from the business lead for RESULTS, can add a client for the particular SSID.  Alternatively, clients can copy the existing SSID into a new SSID.  Be advised that new SSID’s require district approval before use.

In FSPTS:

A separate option through FSPTS is to remove the applicable licences from the FDU tab (FSP600 screen) only and leave the client number under the Agreement Holder on the Information tab (FSP300 screen).  Maintaining the Agreement Holder Client number will continue to provide the license holder with access to the SSID under the FSP, and provide a workaround for inactive licensees wishing to retain the ability to amend SSIDs for the FSP in question.

December 19th, 2011 – RESULTS spatial data update.

It has come to our attention that one opening and one forest cover polygon are causing geometry exceptions and resulting in the failure of RESULTS openings, reserves and forest cover polygons from being exported successfully from the GEOBC LRDW. For users with IDIR access to the GEOBC LRDW please exclude the following features from any export or geoprocessing operations using RESULTS spatial data.

From WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_RESERVE_SVW, please exclude opening_id 58036 (opening_id <> 58036)

From WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_INV_SVW, please exclude forest_cover_id 2268565 (forest_cover_id <> 2268565)

From WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_FOREST_COVER_POLY, please exclude forest_cover_id 2268565 (forest_cover_id <> 2268565)

From WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_POLY, please exclude opening id 1114761 (opening_id <> 1114761)

From WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW, please exclude opening id 1114761 (opening_id <> 1114761)

We are working to correct the issue. Users with BCEID access only will have to wait until the issue is rectified before being able to successfully download these feature classes from the GEOBC LRDW.

October 26th, 2011 – Openings, silviculture activities, standards units, planting, and forest cover information is once again SUCCESSFULLY replicating to the LRDW.

Please be advised that new openings, silviculture activities, standards units, planting, and forest cover information uploaded to RESULTS via the Electronic Submission Framework (ESF) is once again successfully replicating to the LRDW (GeoBC Geographic Warehouse). As a result the following layers are now up to date:

  1. WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_POLY
  2. WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_SVW
  3. WHSE_FOREST_VEGETATION.RSLT_OPENING_VW
