Asset lifecycle management settings

Once AVEVA Unified Engineering and the AVEVA Deliverables Management Publishing Service have been installed for each user, the ALM settings in AVEVA Unified Engineering must be updated. Users can manage the settings themselves in AVEVA Engineering or AVEVA E3D; see Enable AVEVA Unified Engineering for AVEVA Deliverables Management for more information.

Alternatively, the XML file with the settings could be distributed using group policy or another appropriate method.

The AlmInnovatorSettings.xml file is located for each user in Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Aveva\AVEVA Unified Engineering\ALM\DM\Settings

The following values must be set:

• ConfigurationKey: A name used to identify the set of configuration settings.

• DatabaseName: The name of the Aras Innovator database in use.

• Endpoint: The URL for the Aras Innovator service.

• TdpPublishedIntervalChecker: How often to check for new TDPs, in seconds.

• Facility: An optional name used to identify the asset.

• Vocabulary: The name of the nomenclature defined in the class library. This is not needed if the names for the classes and attributes used in the ISM class library are identical to the class and attribute/characteristics defined in the AVEVA Unified Engineering data model. See Manage the class library for information.
