12.0.1

The HxGN EAM and GIS systems contain different types of data.

HxGN EAM is used primarily to track data related to equipment records defined as assets, systems, positions and locations. Typically, the EAM equipment records which integrate with GIS, are assets located over a wide area, as opposed to one central location. They can be equipment such as buildings, streetlights, and fire hydrants; or linear assets such as pipes, power lines, highways, and railroads.

GIS tracks the same data but displays it spatially and broken out into visible layers on a map. These layers are also specific types such as buildings, hydrants, pipes, and electric lines. Each layer has its own attribute table that contains unique information about each of the features in that layer, including their specific location on the map.

How can these two applications integrate so that equipment data in HxGN EAM is linked to the corresponding features in the GIS system?

HxGN EAM uses a unique GIS object identification number to data map its equipment with GIS features in the map’s layer tables in the ArcGIS system. A hydrant or segment of pipe in HxGN EAM will have a unique GIS object ID and layer assigned to it that corresponds to the same GIS object ID of a specific feature in the GIS system’s layer table.

The GISOBJID column must be manually added to the attribute table of each layer in GIS that you wish to integrate with HxGN EAM.

See the HxGN EAM Configuration for GIS.

If an environment or GIS configuration/capability is not mentioned specifically as being supported in this brief, HxGN EAM does not support the environment or GIS configuration/capability.
