Option 1: Schneider Electric-Managed Markup Service

A Schneider Electric-managed Markup Service deployment involves the installation and configuration of Microsoft Azure’s Hybrid Connection Manager. Each Hybrid Connection defines a specific on-premise HTTP endpoint to which ArcFM services can connect. ArcFM Markup services use these connections to write markups to ArcGIS Server. These endpoints can reside in a DMZ or other network segment, so long as they are accessible from the on-premise Microsoft HCM service.

Hybrid Connections

Hybrid Connections allows you to connect through or around a firewall to securely access necessary resources without exposing those resources publicly.

Download Hybrid Connection through the Microsoft Azure Hybrid Connection Client website.

Follow these steps to set up hybrid connections:

In the Client Configuration plugin, click the Hybrid Connections tab.
Click the Add New button to create a new connection.
Notice the interface presents you with three fields (the entries in the images below are just examples):
- Name: Type a clear and concise Name for this connection. It should be something you and other administrators can recognize as it is displayed here in Hybrid Connections and within Hybrid Connection Manager.
- Host: Paste the host name. Consult with your Schneider Electric implementation team, if necessary.
- Port: Type the port number, which is likely 443.
Click Save. After the application processes the Save, the interface refreshes to display a “Get Hybrid Connection” button.

TIP: If the Get Hybrid Connection button doesn’t display, click the Refresh icon.
Click the Get Hybrid Connection button and notice the interface updates.
Click Copy to Clipboard.

Now that you have the connection string copied, you can head over to Hybrid Connection Manager to paste it into a new connection.
Open Hybrid Connection Manager (you can search for “Hybrid Connection Manager UI” in your Start menu).
In Hybrid Connection Manager, click the Enter Manually button.
In the Add Hybrid Connection from Connection String dialog, paste the connection string you copied from Step 8, then click Add.
After it processes, in the Hybrid Connection Manager dialog, verify you see an Azure Status of “Connected” for your new connection.
Return to the Solution Center > Client Configuration > Hybrid Connections tab.
If necessary, along the left-hand side, find your connection and click it once to highlight in green.
Notice it now shows HCM as “Connected.”
