Installing and Configuring ArcFM Web XI

Installation

VertiGIS Studio Web must be installed on-premise at your location. VertiGIS Studio Web utilizes Portal for ArcGIS for operation, so the artifacts associated with it reside on your Portal for ArcGIS instance. 


Install and Configure VertiGIS Studio Web

To install locally, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Product Downloads page. Select ArcFM Web > ArcFM Web XI. Select the latest release version folder. Once inside the folder, download the zip file.

  2. Unzip the downloaded file on the machine where ArcFM Web is to be installed.

  3. Double-click the install file and follow the instructions to complete the installation. Files are in C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric.

Add Workflows to Portal for ArcGIS

 To use the trace workflows provided by Schneider Electric, they must first be added to Portal for ArcGIS. To do that, complete the following steps:

  1. Install the VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer application.

  2. Open Workflow Designer.

  3. Click File > Import.

  4. Navigate to the provided workflow .json files, select one of them, and click Open. These files are located in your installation directory > Supplemental Files. Choose either GeometricNetworkFiles or UtilityNetworkFiles > Workflows to locate each.

  5. Click File > Save As.

  6. Provide a name and click Save. A Web Mapping application is automatically created in the instance Portal for ArcGIS that you are logged into.

  7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each of the provided workflow files.  


Download the Utility Network Activity Pack

If you use a utility network, you must register the Utility Network Activity Pack before you can use any of VertiGIS’s Utility Network activities. In the past, these UN Activity Packs were available on a GitHub location with VertiGIS. That location has changed, and availability from VertiGIS may be discontinued at a future date.

Two versions of the UN activity pack are available. Choose a version and download the files below. Store these files on a server locally, as their availability in the future is not guaranteed. If the download locations below are not active, go to the SupplementalFiles folder in your ArcFM Web installation directory. There, you will see a folder called UN Activity Packs.zip that contain the files listed below.

IMPORTANT: When you store these files locally, ensure that the activitypack.json and the main.js file are stored in the same location.
