SDx and j5 can be configured to view information from one system in the other. For example, you can display:

  • j5 Control of Work permits alongside the relevant tag and work package information so that you can confirm the required permits are in the correct state before the work begins.

  • j5 Operations Logbook entries that relate to a particular maintenance unit in SDx so that informed conclusions and decisions can be made about the unit.

  • Information from SDx in any IndustraForm across all of the j5 applications.

The following describes how to display j5 information in SDx, with examples on how to link to the j5 permits and logbook list views. For information on how to link to other j5 applications, see Display other j5 applications within SDx.

  1. In SDx, relate the J5Integration access group to the Planner role. For more information, see Manage the access groups for a role.

  2. Link SDx to the relevant j5 application:

    1. Search for the relevant method (for example, SOPSShowPermits for permits or SOPSShowShiftlogbook for operations logbook).

    2. Select Actions > Update Method.

    3. On the Properties tab, set Argument 1 (URL to custom page) to point to the relevant j5 application.

      For example:

      • For j5 Control of Work permits: https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/cow_permits/view?logbook_app=ControlOfWork. Where https://j5.domain.com is the URL for your j5 system.

      • For j5 Operations Logbook entries: https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/general_logbook/view. Where https://j5.domain.com is the URL for your j5 system.

  3. Edit the HxGN SDx server Web.config file:

    1. Under the appsettings node, add the following:

      <add key="FrameOptionsWhiteList" value="https://j5.domain.com"/>

      Where https://j5.domain.com is the URL for your j5 system.

    2. Under the integraph.webApi node:

      • Edit the cors element so that allowedOrigins includes the URLs required to access j5

      • Set allowCredentials to True.

  • When the Web.config file is changed, you must restart the web client server for the changes to take effect.

  • If you are using SDx deployed in Smart Cloud, changes to the Web.config file must be done for you by the Smart Cloud Team.
