Introduction

AVEVA Global can be used to enhance projects created in either the AVEVA Plant or AVEVA Marine group of products - henceforth known as the “base product” in this document.

Global provides tools for administering base product databases across multiple geographic locations. It makes sure the integrity of data by automatically checking the project databases and issuing incremental updates across all project sites.

This user guide describes the concepts that the user needs to know before starting to work with a Global project. It describes how to use Global to set up and administer a Global project.

It is assumed that the user will be working through the graphical user interface (GUI).

Refer to Running Global Projects - Introduction for further information about Global projects.

This user guide is written for System Administrators who are responsible for setting up and managing Global projects. It is assumed that the user is already familiar with the normal administration of non-Global projects.

The project sites are called Locations. One of the locations, called the Hub, will have overall responsibility for the administration of the project. The other locations are called Satellites.

There are two levels of administration required: hub administration and local administration. Local administration tasks need to be carried out at the hub and the satellites. This guide is written for administrators at all locations, although the distinctions between hub and satellite administration are also explained.
