The Consolidated Data Warehouse (CDW) capability was introduced in SmartPlant Foundation 2009 R3 SP2 and released with custom code for correlation. CDW links together all data published by the tools and exposes that data in the data warehouse; it is an alternative to the shared object technology.
CDW is optional and is delivered as a demonstration model. We recommend that it is
used only on new projects; however, the SmartPlant Foundation Reconsolidation Utility
is available to help migrate an existing shared object technology implementation to
a new CDW implementation. The SmartPlant Foundation Reconsolidation Utility can also
be used to help reconsolidate existing data in a CDW or shared object implementation
because of any changes.
For more information on the delivery and implementation of CDW and the SmartPlant Foundation Reconsolidation Utility, please consult your support representative.
