Your AVEVA Unified Engineering desktop contains all the AVEVA Unified Engineering desktop applications installed out of the box. The desktop allocated to you is personal to you and cannot be accessed by other users. You can personalize the desktop according to your preferences. For example, you can add or remove shortcut icons.
Your AVEVA Unified Engineering desktop contains the following drives:
|
Drive |
Description |
|
C:\ |
Local storage for Windows and other software installations |
|
D:\ |
Local storage for user data such as user profiles, desktop icons, Downloads, My Documents etc. Important: This drive must not be used for storing critical data as the data will be lost if the workspace is deleted. |
|
P:\ |
Shared storage for project data |
|
T:\ |
Transfer drive mapped to T:\GeneralTransfers folder within workspace Note: See Cloud File Transfer Service below for more information. |
The data you save to the D:\, P:\ and T:\ drives is available to you when you sign in again. See the note below for an exception to D:\ drive data retention.
Important: During official upgrades, the data on C:\ drive is completely replaced. Therefore, you must not save anything to the C:\ drive. Additionally, the data stored on the D:\ drive will be lost if the workspace is deleted for any reason. If a workspace is unused during a calendar month, it will be deleted on the last day of that month. A new workspace will automatically be created when a user next logs in. The initial start-up will take around 20 minutes, and any changes to default regional settings will need to be configured by the user again. For more information about upgrades and other maintenance, see Prepare for upgrades and other maintenance activities.
Cloud File Transfer Service
Cloud file transfer service provides you with a secure method to synchronize project data between your Unified Engineering environment and designated on-premises network destinations, ensuring reliable and protected data transfer.
Starting from version 3.2.1.0, AVEVA Unified Engineering on Connect enables users to access a General Transfer folder from Workspaces, mapped as T:\GeneralTransfers folder.
The General Transfer folder serves as a centralized location where you can place engineering deliverables, files, and documents for synchronization between your Unified Engineering environment and an on-premises environments.
The General Transfer folder is primarily designed to facilitate the efficient transfer of files in and out of your environment. It is not intended as a collaborative working area. For optimal organization and long term storage, we recommend that you, after the synchronization process is complete, promptly move these files to a dedicated permanent folder on the P drive within the workspace or into specific folders within the on-premises setup. This approach ensures better file management and accessibility for future reference and avoids files being overwritten.
Your Administrator must perform certain preparation activities for the Cloud File Transfer Service to function.
