Integration Workflow – Data Transfer to AVEVA ERM_Nesting

The integration workflow for transferring nesting information from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM is as follows:

1. Configure a filter for nesting information in AVEVA Marine.

2. Update the status of nestings in AVEVA Marine.

3. Publish the nestings in AVEVA Marine.

4. Import the nestings 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 nesting information

The Settings dialog box in AVEVA Marine contains the settings to configure the integration of nesting information.

A new part list setting must be created in AVEVA Marine before transferring data. 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 nesting elements

In AVEVA Marine, a status called “PublishingStatus” is defined for all nestings. The status of the assembly, plate and profile nestings are modified through the Status controller window. Only approved nestings can be published. MPLNST or MPRNST must be progressed to the defined ‘Filtering Status’ before publishing. Only those items that have reached the status defined in the filtering status can be selected for publishing. The publishing status of an item is the status the item reaches when Publish is clicked.

Publish the nestings

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 nesting element and click Publish to expose data to AVEVA ERM. Status of the MPLNST/MPRNST is moved to ‘Published’ and an ‘Update’ notification is sent to AVEVA ERM.

Import the nestings 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 nesting elements 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 NestingInfo for the appropriate design project and click Process. The nesting elements are imported from AVEVA Marine.

Verify data in AVEVA ERM

After successful import of nesting information from AVEVA Marine, AVEVA ERM displays the nesting information in the s30002 Nesting Info Hull screen under the specific project.

Provide feedback on data consumption in AVEVA ERM

After the import is done, AVEVA ERM sends feedback on data consumption to AVEVA Marine using the notification mechanism. In case of successful import, an ‘Acknowledgement’ is sent, and in case of an error, an ‘Error’ message is sent to AVEVA Marine.

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.
