Integration Workflow – Data Transfer to AVEVA ERM_Fabricates_Marine

The integration workflow for fabricates from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM is as follows:

1. Configure a filter for fabricates in AVEVA Marine.

2. Update the status of fabricates in AVEVA Marine.

3. Publish the fabricates in AVEVA Marine.

4. Import the fabricates in AVEVA ERM.

5. Verify data in AVEVA ERM.

6. Provide feedback on data consumption in AVEVA ERM.

7. Process the feedback in AVEVA Marine.

Configure a filter for fabricates

The Settings dialog box in AVEVA Marine contains the settings to configure the integration of fabricates. For more information about the Filter Configuration tab, see Filter Configuration.

The Select for Publish check box column allows the users to view the selected information in the PartList Preview. Select the check box for the required rows and save the settings by clicking Save.

Update the status of fabricates

In AVEVA Marine, a status called PublishingStatus is defined for all components. For more information about this status definition, see Status Definition.

The status of the fabricates is modified through the Status controller window. Only approved fabricates can be published. Therefore, a fabricate must be progressed to Approved before publishing.

Publish the fabricates

Part lists satisfying the selection criteria can be exported to AVEVA ERM. For each selected row from the Settings dialog box, a tabbed page is created in the Publish to AVEVA ERM dialog box that displays the elements that satisfy the criteria (considering the Type of the Element and Publishing status) in the first grid.

Select the required STRUCTURE and click Publish to expose data to AVEVA ERM. Status of the STRUCTURE is moved to ‘Published’ and an ‘Update’ notification is sent to AVEVA ERM.

Import the fabricates in AVEVA ERM

After the components are published by AVEVA Marine, the components are available for import in AVEVA ERM. An ‘Update’ notification is received in AVEVA ERM and the user can act on it.

To import the fabricates in AVEVA ERM:

8. In AVEVA ERM, open the s14002 Integration Messages screen and click Process Messages. The d0211 Process Messages dialog box with the list of messages that can be processed is displayed.

9. Select the message with object type Fabricate for the appropriate design project and click Process. The fabricates from AVEVA Marine are imported.

The import of fabricates from AVEVA Marine can also be done without an ‘Update’ notification, using the s22050 Data Import screen. For more information, see Manual Import of Data in AVEVA ERM.

The information about errors, if any, is displayed in the Audit Summary and Audit Detail grids. When import is completed in AVEVA ERM, the system generates an ‘Acknowledgement’ or ‘Error’ notification according to the result of the import.

Verify the imported data in AVEVA ERM

After the fabricates are imported, AVEVA ERM creates or updates the fabricate information accordingly. The fabricate catalogue in AVEVA ERM can be seen in the s20017 Fabricate Catalogue screen.

The standard materials, project components or fabricates added as part list items under the header Structure elements can be seen in AVEVA ERM through the s21015 Fabricate Part Lists screen.

Provide feedback on data processing in AVEVA ERM

When import is completed in AVEVA ERM, the system generates an ‘Acknowledgement’ or ‘Error’ notification according to the result of the import.

Process the feedback

After the import of data is complete, AVEVA ERM sends feedback on data consumption to AVEVA Marine using the notification mechanism. One of the following actions takes place in AVEVA Marine:

• In case of an ‘Acknowledgement’ notification, the status of the component is promoted to ‘Imported’ if Promote Status is clicked.

• In case of an ‘Error’ notification, the status of the component is demoted to‘Rework’ if Demote Status is clicked.

This ensures that after a data transfer is successfully completed, the data is removed from the source table.
