Compare and Update Drawing Data with Data from External Sources

The Compare/Update facility in AVEVA P&ID can compare and update data either from other locally installed AVEVA applications (AVEVA Electrical, Instrumentation, Engineering and Schematics) and Excel spreadsheets, or data provided by a service from another AVEVA P&ID project, or an Excel spreadsheet.

If required, differences in data in these other sources can be used to update data in the current project.

Refer to Compare and Update with External Data.

Before using the facility compare/update configurations must be set-up, e.g. attribute mappings between the AVEVA P&ID project and the data source, data filters etc. If comparing data from a service rather than a locally installed AVEVA product or Excel spreadsheet, this service must also be configured. See AVEVA P&ID Reports documentation for details of these setup procedures.

If other databases other than that of the current project are to be updated using the Compare/Update facility, they must be configured using the Project Database - Compare/Update Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration.
