Integration Utility

Use the integration utility settings to generate pre-authenticated links to PME resources. Use these links to integrate web applications (Dashboard, Diagrams, Trends, Alarms, Reports, and EWS measurements) into third-party systems. You can authenticate the link using standard users or Windows users.

To enable or disable the pre-authentication for standard users:

  1. Under Pre-Authentication for Standard Users, turn Enable pre-authentication on or off.

  2. Click Save to apply the changed settings.

To generate links:

  1. Under Authentication Method, select the desired user type for authentication:

    notice

    UNAUTHORIZED OR UNINTENDED ACCESS TO confidential DATA

    ● Personnel generating the pre-authenticated links for integration into third-party systems must be aware that links to data are not secure.
    ● Do not setup access links to sensitive or secure data.

    Failure to follow these instructions can result in unauthorized or unintended access to sensitive or secure data.

     

    • Select Windows User.

      NOTE: Links for Windows users contain no user information. Windows users accessing the link must have permission to access the PME system and be authenticated with Windows. One-click login must be enabled to use the Windows user authenticated links. See Login Options for information for enabling one-click login.

    • Select Standard User, select the desired PME User Name and enter the Password.

      NOTE: Links for standard users embed the user's account information. Take care on usage of these links. Links cannot be generated for standard users with supervisor access level.

  2. Under Generate Links For, select the web applications for which you want to generate link.

  3. Under Link Format, select the desired link format:

    • Select XML to generate an XML file of links. Use this option to generate links that can be imported into applications like EcoStruxure Building Operation.

    • Select HTML to generate an HTML page of links. Use this option to verify the links.

      NOTE: The download HTML link must be opened in a different browser to test the links.

  4. Click Generate Web Application Links.

    An XML or HTML file is downloaded to the default download location of the browser.

An example for an application that requires the generated link is the integration of PME with Building Operation. As part of that integration, PME Web Applications are embedded in Building Operation. For this to work, the generated links are imported in to Building Operation.
