Two further P&IDs have now been drafted and are ready for import into the Schematic database. These P&IDs must be validated and checked in Schematic Model Manager prior to Issue for use generally, and by AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator.

These P&IDs will be imported into PIDDATAEXTRACT DB in the EXTRACTMDB, where validation and checking can take place. For example, connectivity with P&IDs already imported may be checked and validated.

At this point these P&ID exist only in EXTRACTMDB.

Validation and checking tasks can now be carried out using the Diagram Viewer, off page connection tools, reporting and search facilities.

When these P&ID have been validated they can be propagated to DB PIDDATA in PARENTMDB for general use and for use by AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator.

Before initiating an issue from the extract, carry out a save work.

The Extract Data Control dialog now indicates, by the use of prefix letters, the state of elements in the extract schematic database.

For an explanation of the meaning of the prefix letters click the Prefix Info option.

Clicking on a parent element in the Elements window shows extract status information about the parent's child elements. In the example below, we can see that SCDIAG elements 905681 and 905680 have been modified in the extract.

Click the Issue option. The modified data will be propagated to DB PIDDATA in PARENTMDB for general use and for use by AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator.

Click the Yes option on the Extract Session Comment dialog.

The new P&IDs will now have been propagated.
