Configure Hybrid Connection Manager

Your Schneider Electric implementation team handles this preparation step.

In most cases, Microsoft’s Hybrid Connection Manager (HCM) is required for an open channel of communication between the Work Management System Integration (WMSI) App Service and ArcFM XI cloud-hosted services(both of which live in Schneider Electric’s Azure cloud subscription) and your client-hosted services like Portal for ArcGIS and onsite Designer XI Design Storage services. To enable this open channel, the HCM service must be installed on a server which can communicate with the necessary on-premises services (e.g., ArcGIS Server, Design Storage, etc.).

Good to Know

The following information is good to know during this process:

• HCM is configured in Solution Center. See the help topic Hybrid Connections for more information.

• The implementation team can install the HCM service and configure endpoint connections for you.

• A hybrid connection is needed for each unique host machine and port number. If your on-premises design storage service is on the same machine as the network feature service, you need one hybrid connection. If the two services are hosted on separate machines, you need a hybrid connection for each, and these two connections should reside in a relay within your respective Azure resource group.
