ADMIN MODULE-RECONFIG.
If you need to copy a DB and change the DB number it seems impossible if you try it by opening the
form Modify Database.
in the form the DB number is shaded, then it can’t be modified, What to do? .
It can be done only with the comand RECONFIGURE.
It’s only avalaible from Command line or for TTY (non graphics mode)
This is an example.
Use the following commands:
FROM PROJ AAA MASTER/PIPECATA
TO NEW MASTER/PIPECATA1 DBNO 3000
RCFCOPY ALL
RECONFIG
RCFUPDATE TEAM MASTER

Aveva. Admin. Reconfig DB with cross-references
January 26, 2017 me_hungry 1 Comment
Sometimes happens that we need to change DB number to other DB number. But what should we do
with cross-references? Use the method that is described below and there will be no problems.
This is for experienced PDMS admins, anyway make backup before this steps!!!
If the contents of more than one DB are to be transferred, provided no reference attributes point
outside the set of DBs being transferred, an extension of the same procedure could be used.
Consider the transfer of the whole of one Design DB, the whole of a Catalogue DB and one item of
equipment from a second Design DB, thus:
Source DB Elements Transferred Destination DB
CIVIL/STRUC4 Whole Design DB STEEL/MAIN
ANSI/MASCAT Whole Catalogue DB CATAL/MAIN
SITE-A One Site EQUIP/MAIN
The reconfiguration commands should be given in the following order:
In the source project:
FROM DB ANSI/MASCAT
TO FILES /REC1A /REC1B
Copies the Catalogue DB first
RCFCOPY ALL
RECONFIGURE
FROM DB CIVIL/STRUC4
TO FILES /REC2A /REC2B
Copies the Design DB
RCFCOPY ALL
RECONFIGURE
FROM DB VESSEL/V25CT
TO FILES /REC3A /REC3B
Copies the Site
RCFCOPY /SITE-A
RECONFIGURE
and in the destination project:
FROM FILES /REC1A /REC1B
TO DB CATAL/MAIN
Creates Catalogue DB
RECONFIGURE
FROM FILES /REC2A /REC2B
TO DB STEEL/MAIN
Creates Design DB
RECONFIGURE
FROM FILES /REC3A /REC3B
TO DB EQUIP/MAIN
Creates equipment item
RECONFIGURE
RCFUPDATE DB STEEL/MAIN
RCFUPDATE DB EQUIP/MAIN
Gives correct cross-references
Remark:
RCFUPDATE ALL Updates references to the reconfigured DB from all databases in current project.
Copy PDMS project without username and password as easiest as away
The following example illustrates the use of the SAMEREF option:
FROM DB MASTER/DESIGN
TO FILE /F1 /F2
RCFCOPY ALL
RECONFIGURE
DELETE DB MASTER/DESIGN
CREATE DB MASTER/DESIGN DESI DBNO nn
FROM FILE /F1/F2
TO DB MASTER/DESIGN
RECONFIG SAMEREF
