Short intro

This section is prepared for BDPI administrators with detailed guide, how to configure BDPI after its successfully installation. In this section you can find BDPI Configuration Guide, Check list as well as short videos for all steps of BDPI configuration.

For successful BDPI environment configuration we need to go through the following steps (watch the relevant videos below in "BDPI Configuration Videos" section):​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Initial configuration of BDPI environment (initialization) 
PlantSight side:
STEP 1 - Select “BECS” as External Data Provider - Video 1
STEP 2 - Set BDPI End point - Video 1
STEP 3 - Select Class for element identification attribute - Video 1
STEP 4 - Select concrete attribute to use for element identification - Video 1
BDPI side:
STEP 5 - Check communication in general BDPI app log (log of Dispatcher Project) - Video 2
STEP 6 - Introduce Partner Organization in BECS Web Admin Console - Video 2
STEP 7 - Generate profile for Partner to log to its BDPI Web Admin Console - Video 2
STEP 8 - LOG to Partner Organization BDPI Web Admin Console - Video 2

  • Adding new integration definition into existing BDPI environment (add new dynamic integration) 
PlantSight side:
STEP 9 - Define iModel to enable in BDPI - Video 3
BDPI side:
STEP 10 - Define Credentials for relevant enterprise systems - Video 4
STEP 11 - Define Table/Section Names used for data visualization - Video 5
STEP 12 - Register BECS dataReading Projects - Video 6
STEP 13 - Initial Loading of BECS dataReading project metadata - Video 7
STEP 14 - Select attributes requested to visualize - Video 8
STEP ​​​​​​​15 - Using BDPI for visual filtering - Video 9​​​​​​​
