Before you can make modifications to the SmartPlant schema, must check the CMF file out of the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client.
-
Check out the SmartPlant schema CMF file from the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client.
-
Make sure your scope is set to the plant, right-click the new revision of the CMF file in SmartPlant Foundation, and click Launch Schema Editor. This provides the Schema Editor with the appropriate plant and SmartPlant Foundation site for connection.
-
Select the schema version or versions that you want to view in the Specify configurations to display window of the Active Configurations dialog box.
-
Click the Advanced button on the Active Configurations dialog box to view the Set Configurations for new objects window, where you can specify what version or versions of the schema changes should be written to. For example, to modify the 2019 schema, select the 2019 configuration for new objects.
By default, all configurations are checked to allow forward and backward compatibility between schema versions when creating new objects or modifying existing objects.
Opening the CMF file also allows you to see which authoring tools that are registered with the SmartPlant Foundation plant have available metadata adapters.
