Integration Workflow - Data Transfer to AVEVA ERM_Zone_Marine

The integration workflow for Zone-based part lists from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM is as follows:

1. Configure a filter for Zone-based part lists in AVEVA Marine.

2. Update the status of Zone-based part lists in AVEVA Marine.

3. Publish the Zone-based part lists in AVEVA Marine.

4. Import the Zone-based part lists 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 Zone-based part lists

The Settings dialog box in AVEVA Marine contains the settings to configure the integration of Zone-based part lists.

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 Zone-based part lists

In AVEVA Marine, a status called “PublishingStatus” is defined for all Zone-based elements. The status of the ZONE is modified through the Status Controller window. Only approved designs can be published. Therefore, a ZONE must be progressed to ‘Approved’ before publishing.

Publish the Zone-based part lists

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

Import the Zone-based part lists 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 outfitting part lists 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 Outfitting for the appropriate design project and click Process. The outfitting elements from AVEVA Marine are imported.

The import of outfitting part lists 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. Click Show import file audits to view all audit messages for a single file run in a batch. Click Show all audits to information related to all audits.

When import is completed in AVEVA ERM, the system generates an ‘Acknowledgement’ or ‘Error’ notification according to the result of the import. An Outfitting import can generate both Acknowledgement and Error notifications if only few part list headers were successfully imported. Both Acknowledgement and Error notifications have the Part List header Id as ID.

Verify data in AVEVA ERM

After the outfitting elements are imported, AVEVA ERM creates or updates the outfitting information accordingly. The Zones published from AVEVA Marine are added to the drawing catalogue in AVEVA ERM, and can be viewed in the s20012 Drawing Catalogue screen.

Additionally, AVEVA ERM also creates a Part List header and a list of part list items which hold the material. This information is displayed in AVEVA ERM on the s21000 Part Lists screen.

Provide feedback on data consumption 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. An Zone-based part list import can generate both Acknowledgement and Error notifications if only few part list headers were successfully imported. Both Acknowledgement and Error notifications have the part list header Id as the ID.

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.
