Cross Database Working
AVEVA E3D™ has the ability to split the design model across several databases, some of which may be read only.
Exporting the model tries to update variables associated with the version management. However, if the database is read only, a macro file is produced that should be executed when the user does have write access to the database. This must be performed before any import procedure is performed. The file name is built upon the string "updateVersionNos" but with time stamp information attached so that they can be executed in chronological sequence. An example file name might be "updateVersionNos201212593744.mac", which was created at 09:37:44 on 25th January 2012.
Importing an existing, though modified, model is more difficult. Obviously the user must have write access to the database. The reference site is created in the same database as the target area specified on the Import window. This will allow new items to be transferred between the reference site and the target site using the INCLUDE command. This command does not work across databases.
The user should make sure that the incoming data is not to be spread across databases.
If the target area is empty the Compare/Merge processes are bypassed which can be a lot faster when importing large amounts of data.
Users of multi-write databases need to be aware that elements that are to be exported must be claimed out prior to export. All elements that are likely to be affected by importing must also be claimed out.
