When retrieving a document all the objects are processed within that document. For each object being retrieved, the software looks for an existing Smart P&ID item that should be updated. If it finds one, it generates an Update task. If it doesn’t find one, it generates a Create task.

When we retrieve an object, we follow a standard procedure. For example, when we find an equipment object in the retrieved document we do the following:

  1. Look for a SameAs relation in the retrieved document that refers to this item. If we find one, then we use the remote UID from that SameAs and do a query for a Smart P&ID item with SP_ID = remote UID. If such an object is found, that is the item that needs to be updated.

  2. If no item to update is found, use the UID of the object and perform a query for a Smart P&ID item with SP_DesignBasisUID = UID. If such an object is found, that is the item that needs to be updated.

  3. If no item to update is found, use the IObject.Name of the object and do a query for a Smart P&ID item with ItemTag = Name and belonging to the same Plant Group (for a Stream we query for a P&ID PipeRun item where StreamNo = Name). If such an object is found, that is the item that needs to be updated.

  4. If no item to update is found, a Create task is generated instead of an Update task.

If an item to update is found by means of a matching Item Tag, the resulting Update task shows that the item will be correlated when the task is run (see the Update tab on the properties dialog of a task). Being correlated means that the Smart P&ID item carries the UID of the retrieved object in the DesignBasisUID plant item attribute.
