About AVEVA Gateway for Unified Engineering

The gateway is an add-in to the Draw module of AVEVA™ E3D Design that enables you to publish the data, drawings, and reports from the Draw module of AVEVA™ E3D Design to AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. For this, you must first define a configuration that specifies how the data must be published. After the configuration is defined, you can publish an element and its associated drawing and report, if any, to AVEVA™ Asset Information Management using the configuration. The gateway processes and converts data from AVEVA™ E3D Design (Draw) into a compatible file format that can be loaded into AVEVA™ Asset Information Management.

Note: The gateway can be used to publish the Draw data from the Draw module only.

Using the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process, the gateway extracts the required information from AVEVA™ E3D Design, applies the specified mappings and filters and displays it in AVEVA™ Asset Information Management 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 elements that are exported. The gateway also creates an SVG file if you choose to generate graphical data for the exported items. The EIWM and SVG 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 enables you to generate the output in various formats and for consumption by AVEVA Ingestion Service. For information on the various output formats, see Select Output Format for Draw Data and Select Output Format for Reports. For information on how to generate output for AVEVA Ingestion Service, see Provide General Information.
