Configure Web Central for the Archibus Extensions for Esri

Archibus Web Central

• Navigate to System > System Administrator > View Program Information and License Usage and this diplays the About Archibus Web Central.

Archibus Smart Client

The Administrator configures publishing, asset, and authentication application parameters. 

In this example, the Administrator is setting the application parameters using Smart Client by loading the  afm_activity_params  (Application Parameters) table and completing the Paramater Value field, as shown below.

• Configure ArcGIS publishing application parameters

• Configure ArcGIS authentication application parameters

• Configure ArcGIS asset application parameters for each asset type that will be published

The Administrator need to configure the following application parameters for each asset type that will be published. Parameter codes use the following naming convention:  Arcgis<assettype>ParameterCode  

For example, the parameter codes for room (rm) assets are:  ArcgisRm%  

Archibus Web Central

The Administrator configures Web Central for authentication by making the required edits to the  extensionsarcgis.properties file.

Update the WEB-INF\config\context\applications\extensionsarcgis.properties file with the username and password or appId and AppSecret (depending on your configured method of authentication) with the credentials required to access the shared ArcGIS feature services.

Archibus Web Central

The Archibus ArcGIS Connectors import and export asset metadata to and from Web Central.

• The ArcGIS Import Connectors import object IDs from ArcGIS to Archibus.
• The ArcGIS Export Connectors export metadata from Archibus for ArcGIS.

The Administrator configures the ArcGIS Import and Export Connectors as required, navigate to System > System Administrator > Configure Connectors task.

In most cases, the ArcGIS Import/Export Connector Properties should not require modification.

The ArcGIS Import Connector Fields requires the Archibus key fields for the asset (e.g. for rm : bl_id, fl_id, and rm_id ), as well as the ArcGIS object ID fields ( OBJECTID and/or GlobalID ) for the feature layer.

The ArcGIS Export Connector Fields requires the ArcGIS object ID fields ( OBJECTID and/or GlobalID ) for the feature layer. Additionally, asset fields can be added as required; however, the destination fields must exist in the ArcGIS feature layer schema.
