Database Definitions Implementation Preferences

Preferred Language

Select a preferred language from the drop down list. In this case, it will be used by the build model functionality to set names for the User Defined Elements (UDETs) and User Defined Attributes (UDAs) that are created.

Build Location

There is a limit to the number of User defined Elements (UDETs) and User Defined Attributes (UDAs) allowed in a single dictionary database and this is easily exceeded for a large conceptual model. A Database Set (DBSET) can be created in AVEVA Administration with several dictionary databases added (the recommendations is five). The DBSET is current on the Multiple Database (MDB) along with the conceptual model database.

Select the DBSET from the drop-down list The build process uses as much of the set of databases as it needs to build the model. It is also prompted for on build if not set.

Note:
It is recommended to treat this set of databases as reserved for the conceptual model and to use other dictionary databases for non-model generated purposes.

Tag Creation Discipline

For use with Tags Management System. Select a discipline from the drop down list which will be used for tag creation. The selected discipline is used to create the attributes displayed as ‘Allow attribute to: Store a Tag Name’

Clear Build Definitions

Removes UDETs and UDAs from the database that are no longer used. For example, a related class has been deleted from the model.

Note:
This option should be used with care as it invalidates instantiated data.
