Synchronizing attributes (Esri)

HxGN EAM and Esri’s GIS attributes may be synchronized based on the field mappings defined for each layer. The system compares the attributes of corresponding features/equipment (based on the GISOBJID/GIS ID), provides you with a list of discrepancies, and enables you to synchronize the attribute values.

Field mappings are not defined for a feature/equipment record’s layer, location X, and location Y. The system synchronizes based on an implied mapping where GIS is the owner and the data is automatically mapped to the Layer, Location X, and Location Y fields in HxGN EAM. If a feature is a line or polygon feature, the system populates the HxGN EAM Location X and Location Y based on the feature’s center point. Contact your system administrator for more information.

Note:  We recommend synchronizing features and equipment prior to synchronizing attributes.
  1. Open an existing map.
  2. Click HxGN EAM Synchronize Records.
  3. Specify this information:
    Map
    Specify the map for which to synchronize attributes.
    Layer
    Select the layer for which to view attribute discrepancies.
  4. Select the Consider only features selected on the map check box to only consider features that are selected on the map.
  5. Click View Discrepancies. The system displays features for which the system locates a corresponding equipment record based on the GISOBJID, but for which there are attribute discrepancies.
    Note: The system only considers mapped attributes that have an Action of Copy. Contact your system administrator for more information.

    You must have query web service permissions in HxGN EAM to view discrepancies. Contact your system administrator for more information.

  6. Select the features for which you want to synchronize attribute discrepancies.
    The system automatically selects all of the features. Remove individual features from the list by clearing the line.
    Note: To select all lines at once, click Select All. To clear all lines at once, click Unselect All.
  7. Click Synchronize Discrepancies.
    The system synchronizes attributes based on the values contained within the owner system of the field mapping record. Contact your system administrator for more information.
    Note: The system displays an error message in either HxGN EAM Result or GIS Result for any record whose discrepancies cannot be synchronized.

    You must have update web service permissions in HxGN EAM to synchronize discrepancies. Contact your system administrator for more information.
