Function:
Control of Database (DB) extracts.
Description:
This command allows the administrator to release, issue, drop, and refresh extract DBs.
|
FLUSH |
Writes the changes back to the parent extract. The EXTRACT claim is maintained. The extract is refreshed with changes that have been made to its owning DB. |
|
FLUSH RESET |
A FLUSH RESET command will completely clear the flush stack for the extract. In most cases the System will resolve any dependencies between issued FLUSH commands, including any resets required after failed FLUSH commands. Only as a last resort should the User consider issuing a FLUSH RESET command. |
|
FLUSHW |
(Flush without refresh.) Writes the changes back to the parent extract. The EXTRACT claim is maintained. The extract is not refreshed. Ordinary FLUSH should be used in preference. |
|
REFRESH |
Refreshes any extract in the DB hierarchy with changes that have been made to its parent extract. |
|
FULLREFRESH |
Refreshes an extract and all its parent extracts ‑ its ancestors. A full refresh takes place from the top of the DB hierarchy downwards, ending with a refresh of the extract itself. Each extract is refreshed with changes that have been made to its parent extract. |
|
ISSUE |
Writes the changes back to the parent extract, and releases the extract claim. |
|
RELEASE |
Releases the extract claim: this command can only be used to release changes that have already been flushed. |
|
DROP |
Drops changes that have not been flushed or issued. The User claim must have been unclaimed before this command can be given. |
Note:
Unlike the constructor modules, the administrator can only perform these operations
on a complete DB in AVEVA Administration, and so extract claiming has no meaning in AVEVA Administration. For general information about using extracts in Projects, refer to Administrator User. For information about using extracts in Global Projects, refer to Running Global Projects.
In a Global Project, FLUSH, RELEASE and ISSUE may be executed remotely if the parent extract is not Primary at the current Location. In this case, FlushW is used and the DB must be explicitly refreshed after completion of the flush.
Offline Locations:
Extracts cannot be used which are Primary at an offline Location unless the entire extract hierarchy is Primary at the offline Location. This is because the CLAIM, FLUSH and RELEASE commands can only be issued locally. There is no mechanism at an offline Location to claim (etc.) from an online Location.
Examples:
|
EXTRACT FULLREFRESH DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Refreshes all parent extracts in the DB hierarchy above PIPE/PIPE-X1, ending by refreshing PIPE/PIPE-X1 itself with changes to its parent extract. EXTRACT REFRESH DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Refreshes DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 with changes to its parent extract. |
|
EXTRACT RELEASE DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Releases all extract claims in DB PIPE/PIPE-X1. EXTRACT ISSUE DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Issues all changes to DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 and releases the extract claim. |
|
EXTRACT FLUSH DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Writes the changes to DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 back to its parent extract, but keeps the elements claimed to the extract. Also, PIPE/PIPE-X1 is refreshed with changes to its owning DB. EXTRACT FLUSHW DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Writes the changes to DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 back to its parent extract, but keeps the elements claimed to the extract. PIPE/PIPE-X1 is not refreshed. |
|
EXTRACT DROP DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Drops all changes to DB PIPE/PIPE-X1. EXTRACT FLUSH RESET DB PIPE/PIPE-X1 Undo any failed or incomplete flushes on this DB. |
Command Syntax:
|
>-- EXTRACT -+- FLUSH --+------------. |
Note:
In AVEVA Administration, the administrator cannot carry out partial operations as they can in the constructor
modules. The commands can only be applied to entire DBs.
