We recommend that you make changes to the tool metadata, tool map schema, and SmartPlant schema in a test environment, and then move the changes to your production system.
For some authoring tools, you may need to reproduce your changes in the production environment. For other tools, you may be able to copy your changes using tool software. For more information, see your authoring tool documentation.
Before you begin mapping, you should also do the following:
-
Back up your tool metadata database
-
Back up your tool map schema
-
Make sure that your tool map schema file is editable. Some tool map schemas are delivered as read-only files.
