  10. On the SmartPlant Foundation URL page of the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, type the node name and virtual directory of the SmartPlant Foundation database where you registered your plant. Use the following format: http://<SPFServer>/<VirtualDirectory>.

    For example:
    http://<SPFServer>/SPFASP

    • Replace <SPFServer> with the name of your SmartPlant Foundation Web server.

    • Replace <VirtualDirectory> with the name of the virtual directory for the SmartPlant Foundation Web Client. By default, the virtual directory for the first instance of the Web Client that you install is SPFASP. However, if you install multiple instances of the Web Client to connect to multiple databases, the virtual directory name may be different.

  11. Select Next.

  12. On the SmartPlant Foundation Plant page, select from the Plant name list the SmartPlant Foundation plant in which you want to synchronize your data.

  13. Select Next.

  14. On the Engineering Application Options page, select from the Engineering application/map schema list the schema for the tool that you want to synchronize.

  15. Under Startup options, select the Load map schema check box.

    SHARED Tip For Smart Instrumentation, the software automatically selects the Connect to application schema check box.

  16. Select the Automatically synchronize schemas check box.

    You can select more than one schema from the Engineering application/map schema list (if available) and specify the startup options. In this case, the software will load the map schema for each application and perform connection and synchronization as specified.

  17. Select Finish to complete the connection.

    The Synchronize window opens with all the properties selected by default for synchronizing in the map schema file (located in this example in the path C:\Program Files(x86)\SmartPlant\Instrumentation\XML\INtoolsMap.xml).

    The remainder of this procedure describes an example where you are going to map the custom fields that you defined to a map class for retrieving instruments from a Smart P&ID drawing. The actual map class that you select depends on how you want to map the fields that you defined, and on whether you choose to publish or retrieve the data.

  21. Under the Map Classes node, scroll down to TEFRetrieve_PIDDrawing_Instrument (the map class that defines instrument retrieval from Smart P&ID drawings) and right-click the map class.

  22. On the shortcut menu, select the Edit option as shown.
