Export the ArcFM Fiber Manager XI Configuration
Fiber Manager XI lets you to export your current product configuration to an XML file. The file can be used to create an archive of your working settings, set up a template for use in another Fiber Manager XI map service with copied data, or assist with troubleshooting or debugging issues with the product configuration.
To start the export process:
-
Log in to Solution Center and click the Fiber Manager plugin.
-
On the Feature Services window, select the applicable map from the menu.
-
On the left hand menu, click Import/Export.
-
Under the Configuration Import/Export heading, click the Export Config tab.
-
Click Export and save the generated XML file. You can now use this file as a configuration to import.
This file shows all the names of assets used in the published feature service that includes object classes, parent child relationships, and alias names. To make sure the integration between the XML configuration and your ArcGIS Pro project, the alias attribute values within the ObjectClasses and ParentChild tags for main object classes must match the exact layer names used in ArcGIS Pro. The main object classes include DevicePoint, PatchLocation, TransitionPoint, FiberOpticCable, SplicePoint, and SplitterLocation.
To update any of these names, export the configuration file, edit the XML, then import the file. Here is one example that shows the data uses the name TransitionPoint and the configuration for the feature service uses Transition. The first example shows the mismatched names and the second shows it corrected.
<ObjectClasses name="TransitionPoint" alias="Transition" displayFieldName="LOCATIONDESCRIPTION" displayFieldAlias="Description"
/><ParentChild name="TransitionPoint" alias="Transition" topLevelNode="true"
classType="Point" <assetTypeIdentifier name="Communications Junction
/ Transition / <Unassigned>" networkSourceId="XX" assetGroupId="YY"
assetTypeId="-1" /></ParentChild>
<ObjectClasses name="TransitionPoint" alias="TransitionPoint" displayFieldName="LOCATIONDESCRIPTION" displayFieldAlias="Description"
/> <ParentChild name="TransitionPoint" alias="TransitionPoint"
topLevelNode="true" classType="Point"> <assetTypeIdentifier name="Communications
