Integration supports custom hierarchies, as long as they contain a minimum of three levels. By default, the delivered SPEMdatamap.xml file is compatible with the standard SmartPlant Foundation Plant > Area > Unit hierarchy.
-
After registering, Smart Engineering Manager cannot retrieve the PBS document if the plant and SmartPlant Foundation hierarchies are not compatible. To be compatible with the SmartPlant Foundation hierarchy, your plant hierarchy in Smart Engineering Manager can contain less than or the same as, but not more than the number of levels in the SmartPlant Foundation hierarchy.
-
Smart Engineering Manager retrieves from the SmartPlant Foundation hierarchy only the hierarchy levels it needs. For example, if your Smart Engineering Manager plant hierarchy contains 4 levels and the SmartPlant Foundation hierarchy contains 8 levels, only the top 4 levels of the SmartPlant Foundation hierarchy are retrieved.
-
All Smart Engineering Manager hierarchy item names (plant group names) below the plant (top level) must match the names in the SmartPlant Foundation plant hierarchy that are at the same level. The names are case-sensitive and therefore the cases must also match. The plant names do not have to match.
-
In addition to requiring a minimum of three-levels in hierarchies, it is also a requirement for integration that the names of hierarchy items must not be changed after they are created and that the hierarchy structure must not be modified after you create the project.
