This workflow applies to initiation of data in a greenfield plant that is subsequently transferred to the host plant as a project. It applies to the creation of new items only in the host; this workflow cannot be used to update or delete existing items in the host.

  1. Create a greenfield plant at the required site.

    • We recommend that you use the same Data Dictionary template for the greenfield plant as the template that was used to create the host plant. If the plants were created using different Data Dictionary templates, you must run Reference Data Synchronization (RDS) Manager to create a separate RDS package. You must synchronize metadata with the host using this RDS package before importing the package containing the greenfield plant items. For details of how to create an RDS package and how to synchronize metadata, refer to the Introduction to Reference Data Synchronization Manager help.

    • When running the Associate Applications command for the greenfield plant, the plant can only be associated with Smart Electrical and must not be associated with any other applications.

  2. Create the required items in the greenfield plant.

    Ensure that all the data in the greenfield plant is correct before saving the plant as a package. This is important because, you will only be able to load the package into the target plant as a project once.

  3. Save the plant as a package using the Save Plant Structure command. For details, see Save a Plant Structure.

  4. To synchronize reference schema items (reference cables, cableway components, typical blocks, typical schematics, lookup tables, and so on) between the plants, do the following in Smart Electrical Options Manager:

    1. Connect to the greenfield plant and create a reference data package. For details, see Create a Reference Data Package.

    2. Connect to the host plant and update the reference data from the package you created in the greenfield plant. For details, see Update Reference Data from a Package.

    These actions synchronize the items created in the Smart Electrical Reference Data Explorer of the greenfield plant by updating them in the Smart Electrical Reference Data Explorer of the host plant.

  5. In Smart Engineering Manager, right-click the required host plant (target) and click Enable Projects.

  6. Import the package into the host plant as a project using the Load Plant as Project command. For details, see Load a Plant as a Project.

    The Load Plant as Project command is enabled only if the plant is associated with Smart Electrical alone and not with any other application and only after the Enable Projects command has been run for the plant.
