Updating the System Database

The System database stores information about the users, teams, databases and module definitions in a project. The information held in the SYSTEM database is only updated by System Administrators with access to AVEVA Administration, never by other users, although all users will need read access to the information. Entering the application opens the SYSTEM database in write mode, and all other modules open it in read mode.

• The SYSTEM database is updated in a slightly different way from the model databases. To make sure consistency is maintained, the application automatically does a SAVEWORK after certain commands. Leaving the application without saving work will discard changes made since the last user or system SAVEWORK.
