Publish Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY
You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY. This eliminates the two-step process of publishing a Model by first exporting the model data as a .csv file from the CIMPLICITY server and then importing the .csv file to Operations Hub. You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY only on versions of Operations Hub 2.2 and later. The Workbench application may become unresponsive during the process of publishing a Model to Operations Hub. Model data consists of classes, objects, points, and details of OPC UA and Historian servers. Model data is also project-specific, where the details configured will apply to the last updated project.
Procedure
-
In the CIMPLICITY Workbench window, select
Project, and then select Publish
Model to Operations Hub.
-
In the Model Publish window, enter the following details:
- Server name: The machine name on which Operations Hub is running or the URL of the Operations Hub Server.
- Port: The port on which Operations Hub is running.
- User name: The Operations Hub user name used to publish the Model data.
- Password: The password used to publish the Model data.
- Branch name: This is used as a prefix for the name of the branch to
which you want to publish a model. This value is added as a prefix to the
object names associated with the published model.
For example, you have a project called Assembly1 and you want to publish a model to a specific branch. If you enter AssemblyBranch1 as the Branch name, the published model and its associated objects will have the branch name prefixed as AssemblyBranch1_root.Assembly1.
This enables you to publish different models with the same object names to a branch instead of the root directly.
Note: The branch name that you enter can contain only letters, digits, underscore (_), and period (.). - Include Historian source: Select this check box to include points configured to the Historian server in the Model data published to Operations Hub.
- Include non-class/object points: Select this check box to include points that are not related to classes or objects in the Model data published to Operations Hub.
- Require trusted connection: Select this check box to publish Model data only when a trusted connection is used. You can also select View Certificate to view the certificate used for the connection.
Be aware that:
- The Server name, Port, and User name fields are automatically populated if Operations Hub has already been configured at the project level.
- All the details in the Model Publish window are saved for a project after you publish the Model data. You only need to enter the password if you close and reopen the CIMPLICITY Workbench window.
- The connection is not trusted when the server has a blank or invalid name, or has an invalid certificate.
-
Select Publish.
The Model data is published to Operations Hub and appears in the Assets workspace with classes mapped to asset types and objects mapped to assets.
