If you customize the plant database items or attributes in your Smart Engineering Manager plant, you must define the mapping between these customized plant attributes and the properties in the SmartPlant schema.
-
Open the plant data dictionary by right-clicking the plant in the Tree view in Smart Engineering Manager and selecting the Data Dictionary Manager command. For more information, see Data Dictionary Manager Command (Tools Menu).
-
Add or modify the attributes in Data Dictionary Manager for each level in your hierarchy. For more information, see Add a Property to Database Tables.
-
Open the plant SPEMDataMap.xml schema map file in the Schema Editor and map the plant database items between the tool schema (SPEMDataMap.xml) and the SmartPlant schema. For more information, see SmartPlant Schema Editor.
-
If you add an enumerated list attribute to the plant data dictionary, see Hierarchical Enumerated Lists for information about mapping these complex data types.
-
The default SPEMdatamap.xml file contains the EF_SPAPlant attributes (CompanyName, SiteName, SiteLocation, DivisionName, DivisionLocation). To use these default attributes, use the EF_SPAPLANT.ddt when creating your plant in Smart Engineering Manager.
-
The default SPEMdatamap.xml and the EF_SPAPLANT.ddt files are delivered to the C:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Engineering Manager\EFResources folder.
