This section provides the workflows for maintaining the publish and retrieve tool map schema files in Smart 3D. These workflows are used when changes are made to the schema during customization.

  • If you are working in full integration mode, you can modify the publish map schema and Catalog Schema database using the Schema Editor, rather than following the procedure below.

  • Changing the publish mapping according to the procedure below requires internal development software. For more information, please contact Support.

Publish

  1. Use the Tool Export utility to create a tool schema.

    SHARED Tip Instead of creating a new tool schema, you can use the delivered tool schema, which is named SP3DToolSchemaTEF.xml.

  2. Add application-specific mapping information to the tool schema. You can do this process using a Merge utility, the Schema Editor, and an Extract utility.

The following picture shows the workflow for maintaining the publish map file.

During a publish operation, the tool schema (with added mapping information) and the P3DComponent.xml schema are used to convert Smart 3D objects to SmartPlant objects.

Retrieve

Use the Generate Design Basis utility to create a Smart 3D schema package and an updated retrieve map file.

  • During the Generate Design Basis process, the utility loads the schema package into the Smart 3D Catalog Schema (metadata database).

  • The retrieve map file is placed in the Smart 3D SharedContent\xml location.

The following picture shows the workflow for maintaining the retrieve map file.

During a retrieve operation, the map file is used to translate the data into the form defined in the Catalog.
