Modification Dates and Times and the Base Product
An important feature of the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface is the ability to compare and merge elements. In AVEVA Bocad Steel this feature is very dependent on the base product passing the
correct
modification dates.
In the base product Dabacon database there are three different values that could represent the date/time of modification:
•
The :FABMDATE and :FABMTIME UDA pair, representing some nominal modification date/time;
•
The :FABIDATE and :FABITIME UDA pair representing the Import date/time;
•
The LASTMOD value from the database representing the last time stamp on the Dabacon element. his is set by the SAVEWORK command.
There are also two UDA values that store the internal and external ID; :FABMARK and :FABEMARK respectively. The latter value is passed in the ABS file as the unique identifier (UUID) by which each system can uniquely identify each element.
Further, in order to complete the historical information, the element's Creation date and time are set and passed in the ABS file. As far as the base product is concerned, this is generally the time of the CRDATE or LASTMOD. Once set, the Creation date and time are not modified.
Which Modification date and time values we use for transferring in the ABS file are subject to several conditions.
1974 to current year.
