SmartPlant Reference Data Synchronization (RDS) Manager provides tools for comparing, synchronizing, and managing reference data across multiple plants. This application is especially useful when you need to maintain a central set of reference data for all of the plants across a site without having a network or database connection between plants.
The reference data synchronization process involves three steps:
-
Creating an RDS package that contains the reference data from the source plant.
-
Comparing the RDS package to the target plant reference data.
-
Synchronizing (merging) the RDS package into the plant and application reference data at the target.
<AIT_DELETE_START>For more information, see the SmartPlant Reference Data Synchronization User's Guide.
After synchronizing the reference data across the plants, you must use the Update Drawings functionality in SmartPlant P&ID to synchronize the drawings in each plant with the updated reference data. For more information about updating drawings, see the SmartPlant P&ID Drawing Manager Users Guide.<AIT_DELETE_END>
Recommended Configuration
-
Select the plant whose reference data you want to use as the source reference data.
-
Create a data RDS package from the source plant.
-
Back up the target plant.
-
Lock down (set to read-only) the user access to the reference data at the source plants. Allow full-control user access to the reference data only at the target plant.
-
Synchronize the target plants with the source plant RDS package.
<AIT_DELETE_START> Do not use the RDS Manager to synchronize reference data between a host and satellites in a Workshare collaboration. Use the Workshare Synchronize Reference Data command instead.<AIT_DELETE_END>
