Global Scheduler

Note:
The Global Scheduler is AVEVA E3D Design only.

The Global Scheduler allows Project Administrators to better manage Distributed Extract Hierarchies. It is possible to configure the scheduler to run key extract operations without needing Designer interaction. It also reduces the amount of Global and Extract knowledge required by the Designers in Plant development. Once the Designer has completed an operation and it needs to be transferred. How and what time the data is transferred is controlled by the Project Administrator by setting up a series of regular scheduled Extract Operations that are managed by the Global Scheduler. Schedules can be set-up to run on a regular basis, with little or no further administration tasks needed.

The Project Administrators can set up projects to send latest information around Extract Hierarchies without requiring any interaction. Designers will need to identify elements that need to be relocated, and mark them for relocating. So when a Designer has completed all tasks for an item they either need to leave it (remains at the current location), or transfer it (the item gets relocated to the remote location). The designer does not need to worry where, or if the command completes, but just needs to transfer the item. The system takes care of the rest.

The Global Scheduler allows the Project Administrators to set up Controlled Data Item Transfer.

Note:
Controlled Data Item Transfer is only available in Model. Refer to Global for further information.

Schedules can be set to repeat at regular intervals. Running frequent schedules is good practice as it minimizes the data differences between locations and helps make sure the right elements are in the right location at the right time, which can improve productivity.
