A configuration contains information about how you want to publish your data to AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. Primarily, it contains the classes and their attributes that need to be exported. You can also specify the following information:

  • Filtering criteria, if any

  • Mapping for the classes of AVEVA™ Engineering to their corresponding classes in AVEVA™ Asset Information Management

  • Information such as context, characteristics, properties and associations for the elements to be exported

  • Exports options such as the location of the staging area, context configuration and logging

The configuration is created or updated when you click Save on the AVEVA AIM Export Setup window. A configuration may be used for any number of exports. You can also modify and delete the configuration according to your needs.

For information on how to modify a configuration, see Modify a Configuration.

Important: The gateway does not validate the information you have provided while creating the configuration. Therefore, while creating the configuration, you must make sure that all values such as the filtering criteria, mappings, associations, PML expressions, IF conditions and so on are valid and meaningful to the AVEVA™ Asset Information Management user. Else, data may not be exported correctly or understood in the desired manner.

To create a configuration:

  1. On the Gateway Setup window, click the Add (+) icon to create a new configuration.

    Note: Alternatively, you can load the sample configuration and then modify it according to your needs. For information on how to load a configuration, see Loading a Configuration and for information on how to modify a configuration, see Modify a Configuration.

  2. On the General tab, provide a description for the configuration, select a logging level and provide a location for the log file. Also, provide a staging area each for grids, DB views, drawings and datasheets. For information about how to perform these tasks, see Providing General Information.

  3. On the Classes tab, select the required classes and apply the required filters. For information on how to select classes, see Selecting Classes, and for information on how to apply filters, see Applying Filters.

  4. On the Grids tab, specify the mappings for the classes when a grid is exported. For information on how to map items, see Mapping Items.

  5. On the Drawings tab, specify the mappings for the classes when a drawing is exported. For information on how to map items, see Mapping Items.

  6. On the Datasheets tab, specify the mappings for the classes when a datasheet is exported. For information on how to map items, see Mapping Items.

  7. On the Reports tab, specify the mappings for the classes when a report is exported. For information on how to map items, see Mapping Items.

  8. Click Save.

  9. On the Save Configuration dialog box, type a name for the configuration in the Name box and then click OK. The configuration is created. For more information about saving the configuration, see Saving the Configuration.

    Note: By default, the output is generated in the XML (EIWM) format. If required, you can change the output format to JSON or CSV. For information on how to specify a output format, see Selecting Output Format.
