New features and enhancements

General features and enhancements

• AVEVA Production Management Web API Reference on AVEVA documentation portal

  The API Reference documentation is now available on the AVEVA documentation portal at https://docs.aveva.com. This site hosts the latest versions of the product documentation.

• Enhancement to CLR stored procedure timeout setting

  A CLR stored procedure calls the web service to fetch and audit data. SQL Server parameters, such as size, configuration, and network latency can affect the web service response time, so you can adjust the timeout setting using the Ampla CLRWebServiceTimeout registry key if needed to prevent timeouts. For more information, see Modify the CLR stored procedure timeout setting in the administrator help.

Features in Studio

These are the new or changed features in this release of Studio.

• PI connector

  You can now import data into the AVEVA Production Management project from a PI server through the PI connector. These are some of the functionalities that the PI connector supports:

  • Add and configure a PI data source

  • Add and configure a PI data connection

  • Test the PI data connection

  • Add and configure a PI group

  • Add and configure a PI variable

  • Convert a PI variable to status variable

  • Add and delete PI variables

  • Add and configure a PI status variable

    For more information, see PI connector section in the administrator help.

• Support for conversion of OPC HDA connector to PI connector

  AVEVA Production Management now allows you to convert the OPC HDA connector to PI connector if you are connected to a PI server, so you don't have to recreate tags and configuration. For detailed conversion steps, see Convert OPC HDA connector that connects to PI server to a PI connector in the administrator help.

• ProcessingOrder configuration property

  If movement events have the same sample date during reprocessing, specify the processing order using the ProcessingOrder configuration property. This property appears under the Definition section in a material movement event's Properties pane. For more information about this property, see Dynamic material movements properties in the administrator help.

• Match Movements to Plan performance improvement

  The Match Movements to Plan feature in the Inventory reprocessing runs faster by implementing view descriptor and source data caching. This enhancement reduces the impact of material movement and boosts overall performance.

• Enhanced Metrics KPI calculation based on calendar targets

  The Metrics KPI calculation now accurately reflects calendar targets defined at a finer granularity. The system checks each sub-period for target changes within the KPI period and applies the correct target to each sub-period.

  Previously, the system used only the target defined at the start of the period and multiplied it by the number of sub-periods within that period, ignoring any mid-period changes. The enhanced behavior ensures the KPI reflects all defined targets across the entire period.

  Quick comparison

  Month KPI Scenario	Previous Calculation	Enhanced Calculation
  Target on 1st day = 23 Target changes to 27 on 15th day Month has 31 days	23 x 31 = 713	(23 x 14) + (27 x 17) = 781

• Support for AVEVA Historian SDK 2023 R2 SP1

  AVEVA Production Management 2025 version 9.2.0 supports AVEVA Historian SDK 2023 R2 SP1. If your project uses an AVEVA connector for AVEVA Historian, set the ServerName property in the AVEVA data connection properties page and include the TCP port if you use a non-default port. If you don't specify the port number, port 32568 is used by default.

  For details about the ServerName property, see AVEVA data connection properties in the administrator online help. For upgrade-related information, see 9.2.0 upgrade notes in the AVEVA Production Management Installer Guide.
