The PDS metadata adapter simplifies the process of mapping when you are using the Schema Editor, which is delivered with the SmartPlant Foundation software. This adapter synchronizes the tool map schema with the tool metadata. You must run the MetaData Adapter to synchronize your PDS project data with the PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml.

The way you run the Metadata Adapter depends on whether or not you are connected and registered to an SPF site. If you are not registered to a site, you must create a session file and then run the Metadata Adapter. Both processes are shown below.

If you are registered to an SPF site:

  1. Start the SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client and make sure that you are connected to the SPF site and that your project is registered to an SPF server.

  2. Set the Scope to the registered site of your project.

  3. Select Find > Integration > Schema Documents, and then click OK.

  4. Right-click the CMF_Ver file and select Launch Schema Editor. If required, set the Active Configuration for the EFSchema, and then click OK.

  5. From the Schema Editor, select File > SmartPlant > Edit Engineering Tool Options, and click OK if a warning message displays.

  6. Select PlantDesignSystem3D from the list of engineering applications. Select Load map schema and click OK.

  7. Select Yes on the EditorUtils dialog. The Metadata Adapter compares the data structure of the MTO database for the PDS project to the data structure in the tool map schema file and displays any discrepancies.

  8. Analyze the differences and correct any discrepancies, and then click OK to update the PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml file in your project folder.

If you are not registered to an SPF site:

If you are not registered to a SmartPlant Foundation server, create a session (.eds) file that points to the PDS Project and SPF Schema configuration file EFSchema.cmf.

  1. Verify that the EFSchema.cmf file information is compatible with the version of the Schema installed with SmartPlant Client on your system.

  2. Use any standard text editor to create the session file as shown below:

    <?XML Version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"/>|
    <Container>
    <SPF URL="http://ServerMachineName/SPF2019" Plant="MyPlant">
    <REGISTEREDTOOLS>
    <REGISTEREDTOOL Signature="AAAF" Toolname="PlantDesignSystem3D"
    SourceDescription="PlantDesignSystem3D">
    <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectAddr" Value="C:\Proj1\project\"/>
    <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectNumber" Value="PROJ1"/>
    <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectNode" Value="SERVERNAME"/>
    </REGISTEREDTOOL>
    </REGISTEREDTOOLS>
    </SPF>
    <Configuration>
    `S`C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\EFSchema\EFSchema.cmf!Y
    `ActS`C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\EFSchema\EFSchema.cmf!Y
    </Configuration>
    <Forms>
    </Forms>
    Scopeless
    </Container>

    1. As a quickstart, copy the above text and use it to create your .eds session file.

    2. Change the project and tool schema information to meet your project requirements:

      • <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectAddr" Value="C:\Proj1\project\"/>

        Replace Proj1 with your project name and type your project folder location.

      • <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectNumber" Value="PROJ1"/>

        Replace PROJ1 with your project name and number.

      • <TOOLPARAMETER Name="ProjectNode" Value="SERVERNAME"/

        Replace SERVERNAME with your project node.

        You do not need to change the line: <SPF URL="http://ServerMachineName/SPF2019" Plant="MyPlant">.

  3. Start SmartPlant Schema Editor > Developer.

  4. Select File > Session Files > Open Session File, and then select the .eds file you just created that points to the EFSchema.cmf file and the PDS project.

    The Schema Editor begins syncing the projects and displays the Synchronize dialog.

  5. Select SPF 2019 and click OK.

  6. Click OK on the EditorUtils message to continue.

  7. Select PlantDesignSystem3D in the Engineer Applications list.

  8. Select Load map schema and Connect to application schema, and then click OK.

  9. On the EditorUtils message, click Yes to continue.

    The Schema Editor begins syncing the projects and displays the Synchronize dialog.

  10. On the Synchronize dialog, click OK to accept the changes.

  11. Select File > Save > Tool Schema File to save the changes to the PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml file in the project folder, and then exit Schema Editor without saving the session file.

Next: Update the Tool Schema File
