AssetWise CONNECT Edition Implementation Guide

Setting the IsReportable Metadata Property

Each Asset class must have the IsReportable metadata property set to "True", in order for AssetWise CONNECT Edition Asset Lifecycle Information Management to connect to the community. This is accomplished via the Entity Metadata Helper Tool.
  1. Locate the Entity MetaData Helper tool folder on the server: \Deployments\[Deployment_directory]\EntityMetadataTool
  2. Copy the Entity MetaData Helper folder to the local machine.
  3. Using a text editor, open EntityMetadata.exe.config configuration file and locate the following section:
    <appSettings>
        <add key="MachineName" value="Put the Datasource’s
    				  machine.domain.com here" /> 
        <add key="Community" value="eB Community Name
    				  here" /> 
        <add key="Username" value="eB Username probably an
    				  administrator" /> 
        <add key="Password" value="eB Username’s password"
    				  /> 
    </appSettings>
  4. Run EntityMetadata.exe.
  5. Select the Set Reportable tab.
  6. Select all boxes that relate to the Asset class. The database updates immediately.
    Tip: You can select Check All in order to select all boxes. This process may take a considerable amount of time to complete.
  7. When the database update has completed, close the Entity Metadata helper.
