Is it possible to import GINT .glb datasets directly into Openground? Import mapping appears to be blank.
When I go to Import Data > gINT > Mapping, the Mapping dropdown menu is blank.
How can I import gINT datasets?
Hi Devin, we do have a Wiki explaining how to create a mapping file to import gINT .gpj data. As Mel noted, it is more of an advanced task so it is recommended to contact our Consultancy team to get assistance creating your first mapping file.
This was very unhelpful. It does not show at all how to create the mapping file needed to import a gINT file into OpenGround.
Hi Art, That is correct - the example is for gINT to OpenGround.
But the associations for the field names should be reversed... The "source" is the gINT field name. The "destination" is the OpenGround field name. (You have the table associations correct.)
Just to make sure I got it corrected correctly!
Hi Art, that looks correct
Super.. Knowing the architecture of the desired correspondence file makes it a lot easier to craft them inhouse. Would be nice if Bentley provided the manual that says here are all the tables and fields we handle, and these are the engineeringy names that correspond to our particular squirley names. Like our table is called xWwIS and that is the Moisture Content of the tested specimen.
Until then I am faced with finding a consultant who will take a example gINT US project file, for example the gINT US Lab Standard.gdt, and making me a OpenGround correspondence file which will then be a Rosetta stone for the table and field giNT to OG matching, and most important disclose the names that OG has chosen to use for their DB architecture. Not having this kind of disclosure already available is an impediment to me switching over to OG.
Hi Art, if you have OpenGround Professional, you can get all the details of the OpenGround data model under System>Configuration Tools>Manage Model. There are also some handy ways you can interrogate the data model using the OpenGround API. For both options, you would need to have the appropriate level of access to a cloud instance.
Thanks for the info. And what is the appropriate level of access needed?
Ideally you would have System Admin access, or the Manage Configuration Role.
