-
Open the two tool map schemas for which you want to view mapping. For more information about opening tool map schemas, see Open a Tool Map Schema.
-
If you have checked the SmartPlant schema CMF file out of the Desktop Client, launched the Schema Editor, synchronized the tool map schema and the tool metadata, and are working with the tool's metadata adapter to define mapping, the authoring tool map schema is already open in the Schema Editor.
-
Before you can open a tool map schema, you must open a schema file.
You can also open a file configuration or session file that contains the SmartPlant schema and the tool map schema files that you want to view.
-
The tool map schema file for each authoring tool is installed with the authoring tool. For more information about authoring tool map files and their locations, see your authoring tool documentation.
-
-
In the Map Environment, expand the Tool node, and then expand the node for the authoring tool for which you want to view mapping.
-
Under the authoring tool node for the second authoring tool in the tree view, expand Loaded Map Schemas and the <Authoring Tool> Tool Schema node to display contents of the authoring tool map schema.
-
Expand the Map Classes node.
-
Drag and drop the map class definition onto the Editable UML tab to see how it maps to the other tool's map class definition.
Dragging a map class from another application and dropping it on the Editable UML tab adds the map class to the diagram. If there is a data pathway or, in some cases,
two pathways between the map classes, the software adds an arrow connector between
the two map classes.
-
Continue dragging and dropping map class definitions from authoring tools to see mapping among them.
Adding the InstrumentInline map class into this diagram resulted in two connectors
being added to the diagram. The connector from InstrumentInline to the Smart Electrical
Instrument map class definition represents a valid point-to-point data pathway. The
arrow between the SmartPlant P&ID Instrument map class and the InstrumentInline map
class represents a data pathway that, based on the mapping defined in the map schema,
is a potential data pathway, but in actuality is not valid because an application
will not be retrieving data from one of its map classes into another of its map classes.
-
To view point-to-point mapping for two map class definitions in a tabular view, click + on the connector between the two map class definitions. The Show Mapping Between Classes window appears with the two map class definitions populated based on the chosen connector.
For example, click + on the connector between the Smart Electrical Instrument map class and the SmartPlant P&ID Instrument map class displays the following window:
You can sort the mapping and export it to an Excel spreadsheet from this window.
