HxGN EAM Version

Both HxGN EAM and Esri GIS should reflect an accurate representation of your company assets. Link HxGN EAM equipment records and GIS features with a GIS object identification number (GIS ID in HxGN EAM and GISOBJID in Esri).

Both SDE connection and direct connection are supported for the HxGN EAM to Esri GIS integration.

Define user preferences to control how Esri responds when a user creates new equipment records within HxGN EAM and how HxGN EAM responds when a user creates new features within Esri.

Esri and HxGN EAM create and synchronize corresponding equipment/features based on field mappings and GIS profiles. The field mappings and GIS profiles ensure the systems populate accurate attribute data while creating features/equipment.

Field mappings, which are defined at the layer level, allow users to move or copy specific data from one feature to its corresponding equipment record or vice versa, e.g, map the DISTRICT attribute in Esri to the Organization field in HxGN EAM. The system populates the equipment record’s Organization with the data contained in the DISTRICT attribute for the feature.

See Defining field mappings for attributes in Esri.

Equipment profiles, which serve as equipment templates, can be related to GIS layers. If an attribute value will be the same for all features in a layer, then the profile can be used to populate this equipment value, e.g., if the Organization of the GIS profile is Org 1, all equipment/features created based on that profile belong to Org 1.

Defining preferences for the creation of GIS features in EAM

  • During equipment/feature creation, if there are both field mappings and a GIS profile, the system populates fields based on the mappings first. If you do not define a mapping for a field, the system populates the field based on the information defined on the related GIS profile.

  • If a field mapping for an attribute exists, the system always populates the equipment field based on the data of the attribute, even if the attribute value is empty and the GIS profile value contains data.

  • The HxGN EAM-GIS integration supports integration with the ArcGIS server.
