Publish Data to AVEVA Asset Information Management (AIM)

You can publish the data from AVEVA™ Engineering through the user interface, the command line and using PML macros.

Note: The data you want to publish must be saved before you can publish.

The following points must be noted about the output files:

• The actual output for an export depends both on the classes selected in the configuration and the elements selected for publishing. Some examples are as follows:

  • If you have selected PIPE class in the configuration and selected a SITE element for publishing, all the PIPE elements present in the SITE are exported. In this case, the number of EIWM files generated is equal to the number of PIPEs in the SITE.

  • If you have selected PIPE class in the configuration and selected a PIPE element for publishing, then only the PIPE element is exported.

  • If you have selected SITE class in the configuration and selected a PIPE element for the publishing, there will not be any output.

• Similarly, the number of SVG files generated for an export also depends on your selection in the configuration. Some examples are as follows:

  • If you are publishing an EQUIP element and have chosen to generate an SVG file for it, then an EIWM file and an SVG file for the equipment are generated.

  • If you are publishing a SITE element and have chosen to generate an SVG file at the EQUIP level, then an EIWM and an SVG for each EQUIP element present in the SITE is generated.
