Synchronizing attribute details (ESRI)

To synchronize attribute details:

  1. Open ArcMap to an existing map.
  2. View attribute discrepancies.
    Note:  Do not click Synchronize Discrepancies.
  3. Highlight the feature for which to view discrepancy details, and then click the Details tab.
    The system automatically populates Layer, Equipment, FID, Description, and Org. and displays a list of field mapping records for the feature.
    Note:  The system only displays discrepancy mapping records with an Action of Copy. Contact your system administrator for more information.
  4. View the discrepancy records. The system displays the GIS Attribute and its data in GIS Value and the corresponding Infor EAM Attribute and its data in Infor EAM Value. The Owner indicates the system from which the data will be copied during synchronization.
    Note: If multiple GIS attributes are mapped to a single Infor EAM attribute or vice-versa, the system lists the attributes on separate lines but groups them together.

    During synchronization, the system concatenates or parses data according to the Sequence and Delimiter defined on the field mapping record. Contact your system administrator for more information. If the system must parse data because one field is mapped to multiple fields, it verifies that the number of fields to which to map data matches the instances of concatenated data in the source field. If it does not, the system does not synchronize the data. If, however, the source field in the owner system contains a null value, the system copies the null value to the multiple fields in the other system and overwrites any data that those fields originally contained.

  5. New Owner Value—Enter a value to override the current data contained within the owner system. During synchronization, the system writes the new value to the owner system and then copies the value to the other system.
    Note: You cannot enter a New Owner Value if there is a discrepancy with a Layer, Location X, or Location Y. These values are populated automatically based on the feature’s actual map location.
  6. Click Synchronize Discrepancies. The system synchronizes the attributes.
    The system synchronizes the attributes based on the values contained within the owner system or based on the values entered in New Owner Value.
    Note: The system displays an error message in either Infor EAM Result or GIS Result for any record whose discrepancies cannot be synchronized.
