However, when 12d Synergy requests data for ingress via their API, they provide a separate URL to download the associated files directly from their stores in AWS. This is a different/new connection that the 12d Synergy Server needs to create for the file download. Please ensure that the 12d Synergy Server can access AWS resources via HTTPS. There are two steps involved in this configuration. #### Step 1 - Create and Set up an App for BIM360 Data flow in Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Platform Services 1. Access and log in to Autodesk Platform Services at [https://aps.autodesk.com/](https://aps.autodesk.com/). 2. Click the **Go to my apps** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/goto.jpg) button and then click the **Create application** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/crapp.jpg) button. The **Create Application** prompt is displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/ca.jpg) 3. Enter a name for the application in the **Name** box. For example, say **BIM360 12dSynergy Dataflow**. 4. Select the **Server-to-Server App** option as the **Application Type** (as shown in the image above). 5. Click the **Create** button. A **Server-to-Server** app with the provided name is created. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/27009e1b-4656-4e21-918e-908f0927fd52(2).jpg) 6. Click the **Copy** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/copy(1).jpg) icon displayed against the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** credentials, and make a note of them. 7. Click the **Save** changes button. 8. Access **Autodesk Construction Cloud** at [https://acc.autodesk.com/projects](https://acc.autodesk.com/projects) to view all your projects. 9. Click the **Account Admin** link **> Custom Integrations** tab as shown below. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/custint(1)(1).jpg) Also, make note of the **Autodesk Construction Cloud Account Name**, **TDSynergyDev** in the above example. This **Account Name** has to be entered in the **12d Synergy Administration** application **> Data Flows > Data Flows** tab **> Basic Configuration** tab for **BIM360 Data Flow > BIM360 Docs Account Name** configuration detail’s **Value** column. (Please refer to step 7 in Step 2 - [**Configure a BIM360 Data Flow type in the 12d Synergy Administration application**](/v1/docs/add-and-configure-a-bim360-data-flow-type#step-2-configure-a-bim360-data-flow-type-in-the-12d-synergy-administration-application)) 10. Click the **Add custom integration** button. The **Add custom integration** prompt is displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/addci.jpg) 11. Enter the copied **Client ID** from step 6 of this procedure in the **Autodesk Platform Services Client ID** box. 12. Enter the name of the server-to-server app you created, **BIM360 12dSynergy Dataflow**, in the **Custom integration name** box. 13. Enter a brief description of the custom integration that you are setting up. The custom integration is added and displayed in the **Custom Integrations** tab shown in step 9 of this procedure. 14. Select the app you just created from the displayed list **(BIM360 12dSynergy Dataflow)**. The details of the **BIM360 12dSynergy Dataflow** are displayed to the right of the page. > [!NOTE] > When adding the custom integration, you must be a member of the project you want to connect to. #### **Step 2** - Configure a BIM360 Data Flow type in the 12d Synergy Administration application 1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application, select the **Data Flows > Data Flows** tab. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/1.jpg) 2. Click the **Add** button. The **Upload a data flow** window is displayed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/dataflows.doc-image-0avmgfev.png) 3. Click the ellipsis ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/dataflows.doc-image-legc077f.png) button in the **Upload a data flow** window. The **Select a task library** prompt is displayed. 4. Select the ***BIM360DataFlow.dll*** file in the **Select a task library** prompt and click the **Open** button. The path to the selected ***BIM360DataFlow.dll*** file is displayed in the **Path** box of the **Upload a data flow** window. 5. Click the **Upload** button. The data flow type is added, and a confirmation message is displayed. 6. Click the **Ok** button. The **Basic Configuration** and **Profiles** tabs are added to the **12d Synergy Administration** application > **Data Flows** > **Data Flows** tab. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/36833d89-59e3-46a5-b491-e9aa1b524a85/Images/Documentation/admin(2).jpg) By default, the added data flow type is **Enabled**, and its name is displayed in the **Name** box. The configuration details of the added data flow type are displayed in the **Configuration** section. 7. Select one of the following: - **Stop on error** option as the **Error Behaviour**. When an error occurs while working with the BIM360 Data Flow Type, selecting this option will stop the process and log the error. - **Log and continue** option as the **Error Behaviour**. When an error occurs while working with the BIM360 Data Flow Type, selecting this option will write an error message in the log files and continue processing the data flow, if possible. 8. When the system encounters a blank value for an attribute, you can choose its reaction to it. Select one of the following options for the **Blank Attribute Value** field. - **Skip the attribute** - **Write a null value** - **Write an empty value** 9. In the **Configuration** section, enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret code** in the **Value** column adjacent to the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** rows for accessing the **BIM360 Data Flow Type** in the **12d Synergy Client** application. You can get these details from the copied content in step 6 of the [**Create and set up an app for BIM360 Dataflow in Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Platform Services**](/v1/docs/add-and-configure-a-bim360-data-flow-type#step-1-create-and-set-up-an-app-for-bim360-data-flow-in-autodesk-construction-cloud-and-autodesk-platform-services) above. 10. Also, enter the **Autodesk Construction Cloud Account Name**, **TDSynergyDev**, from the example shown above, in the **Value** column of the **BIM360 Docs Account Name** row. (Please refer to step 9 of the [Create and set up an app for BIM360 Dataflow in Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Platform Services](/v1/docs/add-and-configure-a-bim360-data-flow-type#step-1-create-and-set-up-an-app-for-bim360-data-flow-in-autodesk-construction-cloud-and-autodesk-platform-services) procedure above. 11. Enter the URL of API base of BIM360 ([https://developer.api.autodesk.com/](https://developer.api.autodesk.com/)) in the **Value** column of the **BIM360 API Base URL** row. > [!NOTE] > **Client ID, Client Secret, BIM360 Docs Account Name** and **BIM360 API Base URL** are all mandatory fields, and without entering the correct details, a user cannot run a BIM360 data flow. 12. You can set the maximum time within which the files should be uploaded in the **Upload Timeout (minutes)** row. 13.
