Allocation Order

AVEVA Global User Guide

Hub Administration : Database Allocation : Allocation Order

The order in which databases are allocated to a location is important, because it controls the order in which databases are updated, so that, for example, Catalogue databases are propagated before Design databases which may refer to changes in the Catalogues.

To display the Update Order window, select Data > Database Allocation > Update order on the main ADMIN menu bar. The order of the databases in the list is the order in which they will be updated.

The preferred order of database types is achieved by using the Automatic re-order button: this orders the databases according to type as follows:

•

•

•

•

•

This button also arranges Extract databases in hierarchical order, so that the Master precedes any child extracts.

Order the databases manually using the Allocation Order part of the window.

Select a database which you want to move in the list.

Use the arrow buttons to the right to move it up or down the list.

To move a database from one row to another, select that database in the list, click Select row to move option, then select the row you want to move it to, and click Move to.
