Implementation Prerequisites

The following are required before the implementation process can begin:

• It is assumed that you have completed an Online Service Agreement and requested a tenant. Please contact your Account Manager for more information.

• Ensure that the necessary applications are at a supported version and license level. For the most up to date information about supported versions and licenses, visit the Feeder Services XI Supported Versions article on myArcFM.

• Review the ArcFM Solution XI Series Named User Functionality Matrix. This information is useful later as you configure tenant authentication.

• Review the ArcFM UN Configuration for the Utility Network white paper. To ensure a smooth implementation of Feeder Services, your UN data model should adhere as closely as possible to this configuration.

• You need one Geodatabase Manager (GDBM) license because Feeder Services consumes GDBM action handlers as a part of its Geodatabase Region Resource (GRR) creation/update scheduling procedure. The single GDBM license satisfies all Feeder Services needs. It is perfectly acceptable if your GRR maintenance schedule overlaps with other GDBM procedures running for other applications.

  IMPORTANT: Licenses are managed at the tenant level. If you have multiple tenants, each tenant requires a GDBM license.

• Patch Integration with ADMS requires an SFTP server that can be monitored by the ADMS File Monitoring Service.
