Integrator Database Administration including Global Projects

All Integrator users require write access to a single CYMWRL. If this is not present when a Build or Link function is performed then Integrator will return an error. Project administrators are recommended to use the following procedures:

• Create a separate Design Reference database in Admin, and ensure it is current on all Multiple Databases (MDBs) for Integrator users, and all Integrator users can write to it.

• Use Manage Links to create a Link World in the new database, or to merge links from an old link world (prior to 12.1 link worlds resided in Design databases). Refer to Manage Links for further information.

For a global project, create variant extracts of the link world database and make one extract primary at each location that needs to use Integrator. This will ensure the link data can be issued back to the parent db and combined from the various locations with no claim conflicts.

In order to merge links from an old link world, Project Administrators are recommended to use the following procedures:

• If using extract databases, then in AVEVA E3D Design Model, use the Extract Control window to select the existing CYMWRL and issue all changes. Repeat this step for all levels of extract database. The next step should then be carried out in the parent database.

• In AVEVA E3D Design Model, use Manage Links to merge links from the Design database to a new Design Reference database (for example: by drag and drop). Then click on the Design database and delete the old Links.

• Refresh any extracts of the Design and Design Reference databases.

When working in an extract database, issuing, flushing or dropping an element that has a referencing link will automatically include the link object. The reference array include flush attribute (INCFLU) returns any link elements that reference the current element. Flushing, issuing or dropping an element with referencing link elements will act on those link elements even if the element itself is not claimed or modified. The Extract Control window will display an "R" label on such elements.
