Generate authoring schema and load files - Integration - Update 44 - Help - Hexagon

This procedure generates an XML file that creates the custom PBS components in the authoring schema and a new PBS authoring tool map schema. In addition, this step creates new PBS methods, forms, and menu items.

1. Find the CMF you modified in the Desktop Client (Find > Integration > Schema Documents).

2. Right-click the CMF file version (CMF_Ver), and click Launch CMF File manager (PBS).

   

   The component schema and prefix are populated from the associated method.

3. Select the Combined Authoring and DW database option.

4. Click Load.

   One node should appear in the tree view.

   

5. Expand the PBSComponent node.

6. Make sure the Inherit Clicked Item option is selected.

7. Select PBSComponent to select all items.

   You can unselect items that are not needed for export, but always include PBSComponent and PBSDocument. For example, if you are implementing a new structure of plant/unit/system/subsystem, you should find and clear the check box beside FunctionalArea to ensure that menu items and forms for creating and managing areas are not added back to the Desktop Client user interface.

8. Click Export.

9. Close the CMF File Manager dialog box.

This operation generates the schema, some basic SmartPlant Foundation administration objects, and a tool map schema file with mappings to the SmartPlant schema. This information is contained within seven files in the output directory.
