AVEVA Asset Information Management Export Configuration

Before files can be exported for AVEVA AIM, the export must be configured.

1. From the Project tab, click Setup, then Publish to AIM Configuration.

   The AIM Export Configuration window is then displayed.

   

   Instrumentation data of various types and from different sources can be exported to AVEVA AIM, for example drawing data or data from reports.

2. From the Name field, select the type of data export to AVEVA AIM to be configured.

3. If a log file is to be generated for the export type, check the Log Enabled checkbox.

   The Log File field will then become enabled.

4. In the field, specify the file name and the location of the log file (a .txt file).

5. Click the adjacent button to browse for the required folder.

6. In the Staging Area field, specify the top level folder into which files are to be exported.

7. Click the adjacent button to browse for the required folder.

   If the Create Trigger File checkbox is checked, a trigger.start file (an empty text file) is created in the staging area folder for each file type. The purpose of the trigger.start file is to trigger the AVEVA AIM Portal’s import controller to automatically process all the files that reside in the same folder.

8. To select mapping files for the export of data and specify other settings, click Settings.

   If Report exports are being configured, the Non-CAD Mapping Configuration window is displayed.

   

   If Drawings or Hookup Drawings exports are being configured, the CAD Mapping Configuration window is displayed.
