You use this option if you want to transfer all the data of selected modules or sub-modules to the target domain. You can select entire modules and/or expand the appropriate modules to select the required module data. At this stage, you can also select specific loops that you want to merge.

For example, you can select the entire Instrument Index module or you can double click the Instrument Index module icon Instr Index icon 16bit to expand it and select the required module data (for example, Line, Equipment, and so forth). You can also expand any Instrument Index module data, such as supporting tables.

You cannot proceed with the merge process until you select the source module and/or module data. The data window in the Select Items dialog does not contain module data with the caption Tags. This is because the source tags are automatically selected when you select the Instrument Index module. Therefore, to merge the source tags, select the source Instrument Index module without expanding it.

  1. Open a Merger Utility session.

  2. Select File > Preferences.

  3. Select the Item Type tab.

  4. Under Merge data for, do one of the following:

    • Select All plant items to select all items in the plant for data merging. This option is available only if you have connected to an engineering company domain.

    • Select Configuration data items to select configuration data items only for merging. Configuration data is background data that includes default panels and cables, specification forms, instrument types, and various supporting table data. This option is available for any database connection, whether it is part of an owner operator or engineering company domain. This option is useful where you need to populate several domains with basic data from the same source.

    • When merging configuration data items, on the Merger Preferences dialog, you must select Update existing data if you want to merge data for the Browser with Specification item. This ensures that the browser views open properly after merging.

    • When merging configuration data items, you must select Update existing data if you want to merge data for the Custom Field Definitions and Custom Table Definitions items. These items include tables that contain a fixed number of existing rows, and for this reason, these rows can only be updated; it is not possible to insert new rows.

  5. Return to the Merger Session Manager and do one of the following:

    • Expand the tree and select PPM All Outputs Graphic Select.

    • Select Actions > Select Items.

  6. On the Select Items dialog, select the module data that you want to transfer from the source domain to the target domain.

    • A check mark PPM All Outputs Graphic appears beside everything that you select.

    • Using the Select all check box to select items is not the same as selecting all the items in the data window. If you select the Select all check box, the software selects all plant items and all configuration data items (excluding User Group and Access Rights), regardless of which items appear in the data window.

  7. To make a more precise selection of the source data by selecting the required source table (applies only if you selected All plant items), do the following:

    1. Select Advanced.

    2. On the Advanced Selection dialog, select the source table to be merged to the target domain.

  8. Select OK to save the Merger Utility settings.

  9. When prompted, select Yes to confirm your selection of the source data.
