We have customer Apex Clean Energy that requires setting up multiple companies and sites for windfarms, battery farms, etc. They are very much in need of being able to mass load a lot of functional objects into an equipment structure along with technical attributes, about 4 times per year. Curious if you or your team have any “tools” or suggested methods that could facilitate. The are not implementing “Service Objects”, only Functional and perhaps Serial Objects.

The customer has tried using DMM and thought about using FNDMIG to do this frequent load but the customer has determined that both those methods are not efficient or are labor intensive.

What other options have you developed to fulfill the needs of migrating the object, attributes and object structures from an external source?  A workflow? Perhaps a standalone integration program to accomplish these tasks?

Thank you in advance!

 

@Vernon Anderson I just like to know if you got a way around it. Both the settings are indeed labor intensive (to set it up). Payback time is only when the customer starts to use it. I normally try to calculate how much time would be spend on entering an object manually, next use that times the number of objects. This gives a rough estimate. If building/configuring DMM/FNDMig is estimated lower, there is always a benefit I would say.

My other alternative in this situation would be that APIs would be used. But that also gives a lot of work upfront.

What did the customer ultimately choose?
