Access to Databases

The complete list of database types, apart from ‘system’ types, is now:

• AVEVA Administration: DICTIONARY, NSEQUENCE

• Parts catalogue and material properties: CATALOGUE, PROPERTIES

• 3D Design and Drafting: DESIGN & DESIGN Reference, DRAFT (PADD), ISODRAFT

• AVEVA Schematic and AVEVA Engineering: DESIGN Reference, SCHEMATIC, ENGINEERING

In addition, MANUFACTURING and NSEQUENCE database types are primarily used by the Marine products.

Access to the various types of databases depends on the product and module being used as well as a user’s access as determined by his team membership and any Data Access Controls in use. In summary:

• All AVEVA Plant products have full read/write access to the administrative and catalogue data in the DICTIONARY, CATALOGUE, NSEQUENCE and PROPERTIES databases.

• Hull & Outfitting users can read & write 3D databases; those who need to access Schematic or Engineering data also need a Schematic 3D Integrator license. The decision to work in "Integrated" mode is taken when a user enters Hull & Outfitting and applies to the whole session.

• Diagrams users can read & write SCHEMATICS databases; they can read but not write 3D databases. Diagrams users can also read (but not write) the new ENGINEERING database (see below).

• Engineering users can read & write both Schematic and Engineering data; they can also read (but not write) 3D data.

Existing users of Diagrams, Schematic Model Manager and Schematic 3D Integrator will require an updated license file.
