Integration Workflow – Data Transfer to AVEVA ERM_HPPPL

The integration workflow for hull plate and profile part lists from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM is as follows:

1. Configure a filter for hull plate and profile part lists in AVEVA Marine.

2. Update the status of the hull plate and profile part lists in AVEVA Marine.

3. Publish components from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM.

4. Perform receiving application steps in AVEVA ERM.

5. Import steel parts into AVEVA ERM.

6. Verify the transferred data in AVEVA ERM.

7. Provide feedback on data consumption in AVEVA ERM.

8. Process the feedback in AVEVA Marine.

Configure a filter for hull plate and profile part lists in Design Application

The Settings dialog box in AVEVA Marine contains the settings to configure the integration of hull plate and profile part lists.

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 the hull plate and profile part lists in AVEVA Marine

In AVEVA Marine, a status called “PublishingStatus” is defined for all hull design elements. The status of the Assembly, Plate and Profile nesting are modified through the Status controller window. Assembly must be progressed to the state defined by the Filtering Status in the Settings dialog box before publishing.

Publish components from AVEVA Marine to AVEVA ERM

Part lists satisfying the selection criteria can be exported to AVEVA ERM. For each selected row from the PartListSettings 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.

Perform receiving application steps in AVEVA ERM

The following screen depicts the hull assembly planning structure in AVEVA Marine:

The top node fabricate is created as a drawing (s20012) and as a Part List in s21000. This data has to be created manually in AVEVA ERM before transferring steel plates and profiles part list to AVEVA ERM.

Import steel parts into 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 hull plate and profile part lists in AVEVA ERM:

9. 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.

10. Select the message with object type steelstructure for the appropriate design project and click Process. The hull plate and profile elements from AVEVA Marine are imported.

Verify data in AVEVA ERM

After successful import of the SteelPartList_Published DB view or PartListSteel PML functionfrom AVEVA Marine, all the Hull parts and assembly names are added as fabricates in the s20017 Fabricate Catalogue screen.

All the Hull parts and assembly names are also added to the s21015 Fabricate Part List screen in the same hierarchy as they are collected in Marine Assembly planning.

Hull Unit Installation Drawing is specified in the current project attributes from AVEVA ERM. This Drawing is used to hold all the top node Fabricates as a Part List in s21000 for the Hull Assembly structure, i.e. the assembly level.

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. When the import is completed successfully, an ‘Acknowledgement’ notification is sent back to AVEVA Marine. In case of problems during the import, an ‘Error’ notification is sent to AVEVA Marine.

Process feedback in AVEVA Marine

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 ispro moted 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.
