Publish Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY

You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY. This eliminates the two-step process of publishing a Model by first exporting the model data as a .csv file from the CIMPLICITY server and then importing the .csv file to Operations Hub. You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY only on versions of Operations Hub 2.2 and later. The Workbench application may become unresponsive during the process of publishing a Model to Operations Hub. Model data consists of classes, objects, points, and details of OPC UA and Historian servers. Model data is also project-specific, where the details configured will apply to the last updated project.

Procedure

  1. In the CIMPLICITY Workbench window, select Project, and then select Publish Model to Operations Hub.??
  2. In the Model Publish window, enter the following details:
    • Server name: The machine name on which Operations Hub is running or the URL of the Operations Hub Server.
    • Port: The port on which Operations Hub is running.
    • User name: The Operations Hub user name used to publish the Model data.
    • Password: The password used to publish the Model data.
    • Include Historian source: Select this check box to include points configured to the Historian server in the Model data published to Operations Hub.
    • Include non-class/object points: Select this check box to include points that are not related to classes or objects in the Model data published to Operations Hub.
    • Require trusted connection: Select this check box to publish Model data only when a trusted connection is used. You can also select View Certificate to view the certificate used for the connection.

    Be aware that:

    • The Server name, Port, and User name fields are automatically populated if Operations Hub has already been configured at the project level.
    • All the details in the Model Publish window are saved for a project after you publish the Model data. You only need to enter the password if you close and reopen the CIMPLICITY Workbench window.
    • The connection is not trusted when the server has a blank or invalid name, or has an invalid certificate.
  3. Select Publish.
    The Model data is published to Operations Hub and appears in the Assets workspace with classes mapped to asset types and objects mapped to assets.
