Synchronization allows you to keep the tool map schema and the tool metadata in the authoring tool in synch without requiring manual steps. In this work process, synchronization allows you to automatically update the tool map schema with the changes you made to the tool metadata in the authoring tool.

In the Schema Editor, click the File > SmartPlant > Edit Engineering Tools command to select the authoring tool or tools that you want to defining mapping for. When you select one or more authoring tools to load, select the Load Map Schema check box and the Connect to application schema check box. The synchronization between the tool map schema .XML file and the tool metadata, located in the tool database, begins when you click Finish.

After the Schema Editor connects to the tool database through the metadata adapter, the software displays a list of inconsistencies between the tool map schema and the tool metadata. When you add new properties, enumerated lists, or enumerated entries in the authoring tool, these additions show up as inconsistencies in the Synchronization dialog box.

When you review the additions to the application's metadata, you can choose to add the new object to the tool map schema or delete it from the application metadata (only if deletion of the object type is allowed by the authoring tool). By default, the action that the software will take to resolve the inconsistency is selected in the table, but you can change that action by selecting the other action in the authoring tool metadata column or the tool map schema column.

For more details about using the metadata adapter to synchronize a tool metadata and tool map schema, see Synchronize Tool Metadata with the Tool Map Schema.
