Migrating Archibus Client/Server Telecom Assets: Floor Plans
Migrating Archibus Windows Client/Server telecom data is a two-step process:
- migrate the data
- migrate the floor plans (covered in this topic). Note that you must migrate the data before migrating the floor plans.
Migrating the floor plans does the following:
- changes the asset text layer and asset layer of Network Devices from the ND$ and ND$TXT layers to the EQ$ and EQ$TXT layers
- changes the asset text layer and asset layer of Punch Blocks from the PB$ and PB$TXT layers to PN$ and PN$TXT (patch panel) layers
- sets the asset XDATA to correspond to the new table
Note: Since cards are contained within network devices or equipment items, the default Client/Server schema did not call for representing cards as asset symbols in drawings. Accordingly, although the routine for migrating data converts Card records to Equipment records, there is not a corresponding feature in the routine that converts asset symbols.
Procedure
- From the SmartClient Extension for AutoCAD, open a floor plan that needs to be converted.
- Execute the Appload command. Select to load
afm_TelecomCSToWeb.lspfrom the \SmartClient\acad folder. - Execute the command at the AutoCAD command box by typing:
migrateTelecomAssets- The routine runs quite quickly and presents a message when complete.
- If you like, run the LIST command on a hub, card, or network device and you will see that it is now on the Equipment layer. Similarly, run LIST on a punch block, and you will see that it is now on the Patch Panel layer.
- Save the floor plan.
- So that you can access the floor plans in Web Central's Telecom Console, publish the floor plans as enterprise graphics. To do so, run the Archibus / Synchronization / Publish Enterprise Graphics command from the Ribbon of your CAD tool.
