Publish status

All the integration forms use a three-step process:
  1. Data is uploaded to the triBIM staging tables on the IBM® TRIRIGA® server. This is synchronous and Revit cannot be used during its execution.
  2. The data is published via integration work-flows from the triBIM objects to the application objects. This happens asynchronously on the TRIRIGA server.
  3. For Building, Level, Room, and Space publish operations, on completion of the TRIRIGA publish operation, the model is updated with the identity of the application objects created by the publish operation.
On completion of the first step, the Connector form closes, and the control returns to the user. However, new integration operations cannot be started until the publish has run to completion on the server. Tools that initiate these operations are disabled until the publish operation is complete. When the publish operation is initiated, the Publish Status tool is displayed. The Connector monitors the status of publish process. The icon for the Publish Status tool has a progress indicator and the Publish Status monitor can be opened to display slightly more detailed progress information.
This image shows the Pubish monitor.

The model tracks when a publish operation is active and the type of operation. If an operation was active when the model was closed or disconnected from TRIRIGA, when the model is reconnected to TRIRIGA, the Connector checks the status of the operation. If the operation has been completed, any updates required to the model are made. If it is still active, the Publish Status tool is displayed, and other interactions with the TRIRIGA server are disabled until it finishes.

A publish operation may take several hours depending on server load and the amount of data published.
