Set up Admin Module

Before running the integration process for the first time, you need to create a dictionary database in the Admin module of AVEVA Administration to provide necessary data structures for additional attributes, status and view definitions.

In the Admin module, you need to perform the following tasks to start using AVEVA ERM-Design Integration:

• Set the access of Properties database to Read/Write to allow for the creation of CMPW and CMPT objects.

• Create a separate Dictionary database for the user defined attributes (UDAs) and status definitions for the Catalogue integration.

To set the access of Properties database to read/write:

1. In AVEVA Administration, launch the Admin module as SYSTEM user or equivalent.

2. Click Project and then select Module Definitions.

   

3. From the Modules area of the Module Definition dialog box, select PARAGON from the list of available modules.

   

4. Then, from the Settings area of the Module Definition dialog box, click Advanced Settings. The Advanced Module Settings dialog box is displayed.

   

5. For the Properties list, select the Read/Write option.

6. Click Apply to apply the advanced module settings.

After the database properties have been configured for read/write access, you must create a separate Dictionary database for the user defined attributes (UDAs) and status definitions for the Catalogue integration.

To create a dictionary database:

7. Create a new database with name ERM Integration, and then set the type to Dictionary.

8. Click Modify. The Modify Database: MASTER/<Database Name> window is displayed.

   

9. Modify the database as required.

10. Click Apply to apply the changes.

11. Select the MDB, and then click Modify.

    

12. On the Modify Multiple Database: ALLMAS window, make sure the database created is included in the correct MDBs.

13. Click Apply to apply the changes.
