Synchronize an Enumerated List - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

Log on to Smart Instrumentation.

Open the supporting table where you want to synchronize data, for example, if you want to add and map a new value for an instrument status, in the Instrument Index module, select Tables > Instrument Statuses.

Add a new value and a description, (optional).

Select Start > Intergraph SmartPlant Foundation > SmartPlant Schema Component > SmartPlant Schema Editor.

In the Workflows window, select the Application Metadata tab.

Connect to the SmartPlant Foundation database as shown.

On the SmartPlant Foundation URL page of the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, type the node name and virtual directory of the SmartPlant Foundation database where you registered your plant. Use the following format: http://<SPFServer>/<VirtualDirectory>.

For example:
http://<SPFServer>/SPFASP

• Replace <SPFServer> with the name of your SmartPlant Foundation Web server.

• Replace <VirtualDirectory> with the name of the virtual directory for the SmartPlant Foundation Web Client. By default, the virtual directory for the first instance of the Web Client that you install is SPFASP. However, if you install multiple instances of the Web Client to connect to multiple databases, the virtual directory name may be different.

Select Next.

On the SmartPlant Foundation Plant page, from the Plant name list, select the SmartPlant Foundation plant in which you want to synchronize your data.

Select Next.

On the Engineering Application Options page, select from the Engineering application/map schema list the schema for the tool that you want to synchronize.

Under Startup options, select the Load map schema check box.

For Smart Instrumentation, the software automatically selects the Connect to application schema check box.

If needed, select the Automatically synchronize schemas check box.

You can select more than one schema from the Engineering application/map schema list and specify the startup options. This allows you to load the map schema for each application and perform connection and synchronization as specified.

Select Finish to complete the connection and open the Synchronize dialog, which displays the property selected by default for synchronizing in the map schema file. In this example, the map schema file name and path is C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Instrumentation\XML\INtoolsMap.xml.

Leave the property selected because in this case, you want the software to synchronize the map schema file by updating it with the value from the application database.

Select OK to synchronize the data and open the Map Environment window.

Expand the Smart Instrumentation node by selecting the icons.

The remainder of this procedure describes an example where you are going to map the new select list value that you defined to a map class for publishing I/O types. The actual map class that you select depends on how you want to map the fields that you defined, and on whether you choose to publish or retrieve the data.

Under the Map Enumerated Lists node, scroll down to the SystemIOTypes select list.

Right-click SystemIOTypes, and then, on the shortcut menu, select Edit SystemIOTypes.

In the Edit Map Enumerated List Definition window, select the Advanced tab to view the new select list value that you added.

Select the Publish tab.

Do the following:

1. In the Unmapped application enumerations pane, select TT.

2. In the Unmapped SmartPlant enumerations pane, select the enumeration that you want to map to (if you cannot find a suitable enumeration in the SmartPlant Foundation schema to map to, create a new one).

3. Select the Map icon to map the selected enumerations.

The software moves the mapped enumerations to the Mapped application enumerations and Mapped SmartPlant enumeration panes.

Exit the Schema Editor, and select Yes in the message boxes when prompted to save changes.
