Add and configure a File integration

We recommend that you to add the File integration item close to the place in Studio where the data enters the system; such as next to the reporting point that receives the data.

Prerequisite

Check that the following conditions have been met:

• There is a configured reporting point.

• There is a consistent file type that is going to be mapped to this reporting point.

  Important: To insert records into AVEVA™ Production Management, the required fields for the module must be supplied. For example, in Production and Process Quality, you must specify the Sample Period. In Downtime, the Start Time field is required.

To add a File integration

1. In Project Explorer, right-click an Applications folder, point to Add Item, point to Plant2Business, and select File Integration. A File Integration item appears.

   

2. Rename the item with a meaningful name.

3. Configure the properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see File integration properties.
