A "Restore"-procedure executed in SQL Server Management Studio to create a local forest database is described here. A corresponding functionality is now available in PlanStart. In both cases the SQL Server software needs to be installed on the computer, while the built-in functionality seems to be compatible only with SQL Server 2005.
In menu "External data" > "Import FMPP data...":
- "Browse..." to the catalogue on your computer holding the four basic files.
- Set the additional information necessary.
- Link to an existing analysis area or create a new (namned in "Description").
- Press "Ok".
Data is checked for errors in the FMPP. Additional variables could have been estimated in the field inventory (maybe variables useful in analyses with the Heureka system).
- Note
- Be careful when using imputed plot data/simulated single tree-data based on a stand register of uncertain quality. Any systematic errors here will comply and might even grow with the prognoses, with negative impact on the planning result's reliability. In strategic planning, this carefulness should increase with the length of the planning period.
