The Aconex integration is designed to simplify the end user experience and access the latest approved revisions of critical documents and drawings within Intergraph Smart ® Completions (ISC). Using the Aconex API and Out of the Box (OOTB) “Aconex Connector” in ISC, clients will be able to update the document register and access the latest documents, in PDF format, within the ISC User Interface (UI) and Smart ® Completions Companion (SCC) mobile application to support field execution.

Part of the setup is the ability to pull “lookup” table content (e.g., project list, document types etc.) so that pre-filtering can be configured per project to tailor which documents are required for a project.

This integration is unidirectional from Aconex to ISC.

The current connector is designed to:

  • Authenticate

  • Extract Project List

  • Extract Document Schema and Map Fields

  • Extract Document Disciplines, Status, Categories, Types and Map

  • Extract Document Registry (for only selected types) with revisional info

  • Extract Document PDF files

Clarification

Recommendation

Who is generally is configuring the interface?

Client personnel with credentials and understanding of field mapping can perform this action.

What does the infrastructure look like, where are the machines typically located and who has access?

Aconex is primarily a SaaS product hosted by the OEM; however, it is installed on an intranet as needed. Access to the system via APIs is performed by personnel with knowledge in integrating 3rd party systems and in extracting info and documents. These personnel would configure ISC to connect to Aconex.

Any technical information about how the machine to machine works? Or how the Web API is performing authentication (e.g. OData with certain authorization flow)?

Authentication is dependent on how Aconex is setup. It can be either Basic Authentication or Token based if a 3rd party identity provider is used. Our most common approach currently is Basic Authentication.

Authentication Methods:

  • Basic authentication – Aconex username & password

  • Token Based – Aconex serves a token and refresh token that SC uses for its service account.
