The Consolidated Data Warehouse (CDW) domain and domain group are created when the CDW functionality is configured in SmartPlant Foundation. The CDW functionality links together all data published by the authoring tools and exposes that data in the consolidated data warehouse domain. This is an alternative to the shared object technology supported in parallel to CDW technology.

The structure of the CDW objects can be summarized by the following diagram:

The limitations presented by the shared object are overcome with the introduction of the CDW object:

  • The CDW object replaces the shared object by a configurable set of class definitions, which are based on the shared object definition in the initial demonstration model.

  • Each class definition has fully modeled interfaces, properties, and relationships that are used to store data, and they are consolidated from the published objects.

  • The SmartPlant Foundation published schema is mapped to the CDW schema to control which properties or relationships from published objects are consolidated to the CDW objects.

  • In the CDW consolidation is by last in wins, and correlation is limited to data published with the Same As relationship. For example, using the retrieve and publish operation.

  • The CDW objects are classified and related to the classification tree.

  • Relationship navigation is either individually or by edges. For example, from CDW object to CDW object, such as instrument to pipeline.

  • Navigation to the related published objects is the same as the shared object technology.

  • The CDW objects can be enhanced over and above just being for the storage of published data. For example, purchasing, for construction status management information, could be added to the CDW schema by adding interfaces with properties or relationships.

CDW is optional and is delivered as a demonstration model. We recommend that it is only used on new projects, as a migration path from shared technology to CDW is not available. If you want to implement CDW, consult your support representative.
