Copy Sample Configurations

The default configuration files are:

• IPEBootstrapSampleDataGroups.xml - Defines IPE specific Data Group definitions.

• SearchConfigurationExamples_null.xml - Defines some examples search filters. See the Search Filters section in the Searching topic.

To use your own configuration files you need to:

1. Create a new folder where you will store your modified files. For example, Project01Configuration.

   Note: this needs to be in a Staging Area (see The Staging Area section in the Import Data section):

   • If you are experimenting with the sample data, create the folder in the IPE Staging Area.

   • If you are using your own data, create the folder in the staging area used by your Import Package.

2. If you want to use the existing configuration files as a starting point, copy the files from [installation folder]\SampleData\IPE Staging Area\SampleConfiguration to the new folder.

To update the configuration files after a change:

3. Open Import Controller.

4. Expand Import Servers.

5. Expand the server where the database is located - see Registering the Import Server section if the server has not already been added.

6. Expand the database - see Registering the AVEVA Asset Information Management Workhub Database section if the database has not already been registered.

7. Expand the package - see Create an Import Package section if the package has not already been created.

8. Select the folder you created in step 1.

9. Either:

   1. Right-click on the folder, and then select Update Folder, or

   2. Right-click on the modified file(s), and then select Update File(s).

   Configuration is complete when the Status of the XML files changes to Existing.
