Publish Smart Models - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

A publish to SmartPlant Foundation performs the following:

• Publishes a visual representation of the Smart Model that can be used by downstream applications such as SmartPlant Markup Plus or Smart Review.

• Publishes associated data, depending on workflow approval. If the data is approved and loaded, it is used for reporting and subsequent retrieval by downstream applications when the authoring tools retrieve the latest data.

• Places the published .zvf file and supporting files in the appropriate SmartPlant Foundation vault.

To publish when you select both SmartPlant Foundation and Portal targets, Smart Interop Publisher requires a SmartPlant Foundation version that supports portal file types. To find this information, go to the PPM Smart Community and check Smart Interop Publisher on the Compatibility Matrix. If you do not have a required version, the publish to SmartPlant Foundation operation does continue, but it does not publish portal files.

After you have published Smart Models for the first time, new versions and revisions are created for subsequent publishing.

To publish, check the following:

• Your project must be registered with SmartPlant Foundation. See Register with SmartPlant.

• Licensing must be installed and configured.

• Publish requires the Smart Interop Publisher Adaptor to SmartPlant Foundation (SIP) license.

1. Select the project containing the Smart Models to publish.

2. From the Models View, select the model.

   

   • Use CTRL+ or SHIFT+ to select multiple Smart Models.

   • You must have a successful Smart Model translation before you can publish.

3. From the Smart Models Grid, click Publish .

4. If you have a password set up to SmartPlant Foundation, you need to login. Type in your User name and Password, and then click OK.

   Smart Interop Publisher displays the Publish Dialog. When multiple documents are selected, only property values shared by all of the selected documents appear in the table. Changing a value in the table changes that value for all of the selected documents.

5. From the Publish Dialog, set the Workflow to AutoLoadPublish so that the document is automatically loaded. Otherwise, it remains in the queue.

   From Operation, select Scheduled Publish to publish the Smart Model later. See Schedule a publish to SmartPlant Foundation job.

You can revise the appropriate documents without exiting the Publish Dialog. Select the documents to revise from the list and then select the revision scheme to use.
