About AVEVA Gateway for Unified Engineering

The gateway is an add-in to AVEVA™ Engineering that enables you to publish the data from grids, DB views, drawings, datasheets and reports of AVEVA™ Engineering to AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. For this, a configuration must be defined that specifies how the data must be published. After the configuration is defined, you can publish a grid, an element in the grid, a drawing , a datasheet, or a report to AVEVA™ Asset Information Management using the configuration. The gateway processes and converts data from AVEVA™ Engineering into a compatible file format that can be loaded into AVEVA™ Asset Information Management.

Using the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process, the gateway extracts the required information from AVEVA™ Engineering, applies the specified mappings and filters and displays it in in a user-friendly format. The gateway achieves this by creating an XML file called the Engineering Information and Workflow Model (EIWM) file that contains the information related to the grids, DB views, drawings and datasheets that are exported. The EIWM files are then imported into AVEVA™ Asset Information Management using the Import Controller, and the data is displayed in AVEVA™ Asset Information Management.

The gateway also enables you to generate the output in JSON and CSV formats and make the output available for AVEVA Ingestion Service. For information on how to select the output format, see Selecting Output Format. If you want to generate output for consumption by AVEVA Ingestion Service, see Providing General Information.
