How to Configure ADMS Patch Integration

While circuit-based integration looks to capture the state of individual subnetworks from the GIS in the default session, ADMS Patch Integration is instead focused on capturing two states of the data, potentially involving multiple subnetworks.

• The integration looks at the Initial state of all affected subnetworks, captured from SDE.Default.

• It looks at the final patched state of all affected subnetworks after edits have been made to a version. The most common tools for making edits to the version are Designer XI and Editor XI, though any design tool can be used.

  IMPORTANT: All subnetworks in the Feature Service must be configured for with events in named versions edit mode. This is required to fully propagate updates from edits in the patch validation version. This is not the default edit mode, but it is a requirement for ADMS Patch Integration. See Understanding Subnetworks: Events for more information and instructions to set this configuration.

• The data from these states allow the Network Exporter tool to generate a CIM differences file. This file is used by an ADMS Operator to capture work before it’s completed and integrate it into their change approval process.

A key benefit to Patch Integration is a “shift left” of data quality. This tool lets customers be included in the whole lifecycle of a job, starting from the tendering/design phase and continuing through to the implementation and finally confirmation phase.
