Because basic integration does not use the SmartPlant Foundation data repository, many of the standard SmartPlant Foundation components are not available with basic integration, and some of the available components have a more limited use than they do in a fully integrated environment.
The table below compares the features available with full integration and with basic integration. For descriptions of common integration functionality, see Understanding Integration Concepts.

Integrated project/as-built mode has some known issues and should be used only on
pilot/test implementations in conjunction with support from Consulting Services until
proven against customers’ specific business processes. This functionality will be
enhanced in a future release.
