Synchronizing features with equipment (ESRI)

Search for Infor EAM equipment records with no corresponding defined GIS features, view a list of discrepancies, and create corresponding features for the existing equipment records.

Note ESRI’s ArcMap displays features as soon as the system creates them.

To synchronize features with equipment:


  1. Open ArcMap to an existing map.
  2. Click .
  3. Click the GIS tab.
  4. Layer—Select the layer for which to view equipment records without corresponding features.
  5. Consider only equipment with a GISOBJID—Select to only compare equipment records that reference a GISOBJID number. The GISOBJID number is referenced on the Infor EAM equipment record in the GIS ID field.
    Note:  If you unselect Consider only equipment with a GISOBJID , the system compares equipment records that do not have a GIS ID but do reference a GIS Profile or GIS layer.
  6. Click View Discrepancies. The system displays equipment records for which there are no corresponding features.
    The system automatically populates Layer, Location X, and Location Y for each equipment record if available.
    Note: The system only displays equipment records for which you have query web service permissions. Contact your system administrator for more information.
  7. Select—Select the equipment records for which you want to create corresponding features.
    The system automatically selects all of the equipment records. Remove individual records from the list by unselecting the line.
    Note:  To select all lines at once, click Select All. To unselect all lines at once, click Unselect All.
  8. Layer—Select a layer for each equipment record for which you want to create corresponding features.
  9. Location X and Location Y—Enter the X and Y coordinates for each equipment record for which you want to create corresponding features.
    Note: Highlight the equipment record within the list, click Record, and then click the location on the map within ESRI’s ArcMap page on which to place the feature. The system determines the X and Y coordinates and automatically populates Location X and Location Y.

    If the selected layer contains line or polygon features, click on the map more than once to include all necessary coordinates for the feature. The system saves the additional X and Y coordinates.

    If you enter Location X and Location Y with the Record button and then need to edit the fields with the Record button, you must first right-click on the equipment record, and then select Clear Map Coordinates.

  10. Click Create Feature(s). The system creates corresponding features within ESRI’s GIS for each selected equipment record and highlights the newly created features on the map. The system populates Result and Creation Date/Time and unselects all equipment records for which corresponding features were created.
    Note: If the system cannot create a corresponding feature for a selected equipment record, it displays the reason in Result. The equipment record remains selected.
