Appendix E: Use Extracts to Manage Work and Issued Schematic Data

AVEVA Schematic Model Manager is built on core AVEVA technology and fully supports the features of the Dabacon database platform.

XML representations of intelligent P&ID are imported via Schematic Model Manager into the Schematic Database. Schematic elements which may have corresponding 3D elements in a Plant DESIGN or Marine Hull and Outfitting database may then be released for use by AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator for 3D comparison and build purposes.

After importing draft P&IDs, additional P&IDs, corrected or improved updates to existing P&ID's, or manually amend schematic data may be subsequently imported. These tasks may be carried out while still retaining the initial baseline issued P&ID data, for use by AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator and other users, only releasing updated and amended schematic data in a controlled way, at specific milestones of the project.

This approach may be supported by using extract databases.

This example is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to the setup and use of MDB's, DB's and extracts. For further information on these subjects please see the Plant and Marine Database Management Reference Manual, and the Administration User Guide.
