Support for multiple SCADA environments

Once you enable support for multiple SCADA environments (to do so, see procedure below), AVEVA Measurement Advisor groups your datasets and SCADA objects by the environment sending the data. To accomplish this, each SCADA environment, via the AVEVA Measurement Advisor Cloud Data Connector for AVEVA Enterprise SCADA or via the AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector for Autosol Communication Manager (ACM), must send a valid (not null, not empty string) scadaEnv parameter value to AVEVA Measurement Advisor.

For ACM SCADA systems, the meter and gas quality names are typically unique, even across multiple SCADA systems. In the unlikely event they are not, scadaEnv will be prepended to the meter/GQ name to give it a unique name, and an object/organization alias will be created for the scadaEnv. In addition, a dataset is created for each scadaEnv.

For example, the image below reflects a scenario where data is coming from two environments having scadaEnv parameter values of "env1" and "env2." Therefore, the various objects have prepended values of "env1-" or "env2-" in their respective name fields.

Keep in mind that:

• Each of your SCADA environments must have a unique scadaEnv value.

• The character limit for each scadaEnv-objectName value (for example, "env1-dataset1") is 32 characters. If this character limit is exceeded, AVEVA Measurement Advisor will truncate the name to 32 characters and log a message to that effect in the sending SCADA system's error log.

• To view the SCADA objects with the names updated to include their environment names, see the following screens and data fields:

  • For AORs, see the AOR Summary > AOR Name field.

  • For Groups, see the AOR Group Summary > Group Name field.

  • For Meters and other objects with a Dataset, see the Dataset Summary > Properties screen > Dataset Name field.

  • For Remotes (RTUs), see the Remote Summary > Remote Name field. In the image below, the Remote Name is ES-REMOTE_1. In this example, the scadaEnv parameter value equals "ES."

    

To enable support for multiple SCADA environments

1. Go to MeasConfig > configDesc.

2. Locate the entry for CD_MULTIPLE_SCADA_ENV(located with the CD_UTIL entries).

3. Set the booleanValue to Y. For more information, see Use the MeasConfig tool to make updates to the object registry.

4. Load the file into the Object Registry. For more information, see Save and load configuration changes.
