To support the transition of customers from SmartPlant Foundation and SmartPlant Enterprise for Owner Operators to HxGN SDx, we are providing the capability to run both solutions on the same application server. This capability is useful for customers who are finishing a project in SmartPlant Foundation and then hand over the project to an SDx system or customers who see benefits in migrating to SDx. Initially, this could be to build awareness of SDx and investigation of the delivered work processes and data model, leading to the migration or handover.
The SDx Desktop Client application has been rebranded. This includes new locations for its trace files and Server Connections. The SDx Server Manager application has also been rebranded. This includes the SDx Server Manager getting a new executable name (SDxServerManager.exe) and new locations for its trace files. (CR-AM-160859, CR-AM-159793,CR-AM-159795, CR-AM-169800)
In SDx, a few things have changed:
-
The SPFOpen functionality is no longer supported in SDx. This was typically used to send an email to a user with a link which opens the Desktop Client. The ability to do this with Web Client is already supported.
-
The Keep Sites during Uninstall functionality is no longer supported in SDx. SDx Server Manager will now always preserve sites even when the software has been uninstalled.

Changes have been made to the HxGN SDx Connector for TruView installer to support its installation on both the SmartPlant Foundation and HxGN SDx (Update 29 and above). New TruView customers should use HxGN SDx Connector for TruView (10.00.29) with HxGN SDx update 29 and later. (DI-AM-171807)
