The first step in setting up the Lucity - GIS integration is to provide Lucity with a connection to the geodatabase, and setting up how the integration between Lucity and the geodatabase will act. These first steps are both performed within the Lucity Administration tool. This .exe can be found in the local Lucity Desktop install in the \bin directory or can be accessed by the Start > All Programs > Lucity > Lucity Administration Tools.
Users need Lucity admin permissions to access this tool.
GIS Connection Strings are created and modified within the Lucity Administration Tool. This is the connection that Lucity will try to use to recognize whether feature classes in ArcMap are configured to update Lucity. If the geodatabase is an SDE, Lucity will also use this connection string to connect to and update the geodatabase, when changes are made in Lucity. (How those updates work are also controlled by other system settings.)
Connection strings are configured in the Lucity Administration tool under GIS > Connection Strings.
There are various settings for Lucity GIS that are maintained within the Lucity Administration Tool. These settings govern how the integration between the Lucity and its related GIS products functions. There are also settings that control how some of the Lucity Tools in Arc Map function.
The settings that control the integration allow administrators to: Deny Lucity the ability to update the geodatabase, control how lucity functions when it can update the geodatabase. receive error reports when a geodatabase update fails, etc...
The integration configuration settings are found in the Lucity Administration tool under System > Settings > GIS tab.
The GIS Desktop tool settings allow users to manage how several of the Lucity tools within ArcMap function.
The GIS Desktop tool settings are found in the Lucity Administration tool under System > Settings > GIS Desktop tab.
