About cloud graphic versions

The AVEVA Drive graphics supports Industrial Graphics, Client Controls, and Widgets in the Cloud, published from different products with different versions of the graphic subsystems.

Key concepts of cloud graphic version support

• Industrial Graphics are stored locally and in the Cloud in a specific format that supports all the features and capabilities available in the Graphic subsystem.

• When new features and functionality are added to the Graphic subsystem, the graphics need to be saved and checked-in to be available for other users.

• Different versions of the Industrial Graphics subsystem are identified by a unique, internal version number, not visible to the user. At the time of their release, each product will consume the most current version of the Industrial Graphics subsystem.

• The version number of the Industrial Graphics subsystem is included as part of each stored Industrial Graphic, and is used by the Industrial Graphic subsystem to ensure only a product with a matching or higher version of the Industrial Graphic subsystem is allowed to edit, embed, or download that Industrial Graphic.

• All users connecting to the same Cloud repository will see the same set of graphics. The ability to edit, embed, or download a Cloud graphic will depend on the version of the Industrial Graphics subsystem in the product through which the user is connecting.

• The Industrial Graphics saved to the Cloud repository by a product with a newer version of the Industrial Graphic subsystem will appear disabled in the Visualization folder of the products with older version accessing the same Cloud. The user from the old product version will not be able to edit, embed, or download the graphic repository.

• Just like the local Visualization folder, graphic names must be unique within any single Cloud repository. This holds true even if the graphics are stored by products with different versions of the Industrial Graphics subsystem.
