A design basis is a document retrieved by the design tool. With every retrieved document, a tombstone container is retrieved containing the tombstones, unclaims, and updates.

The rules for retrieval of tombstones, unclaims, and Updates are listed below:

  • They all must be retrieved by the design tool.

  • A tombstone/unclaim/update should be retrieved only once.

SmartPlant Foundation database keeps track of the design basis by storing the retrieval information for tools in the SmartPlant Foundation database to make sure that the above rules are followed. To satisfy the first rule, if a version of a document is skipped in the retrieve process, it adds the tombstones/unclaims/update instructions of the skipped version to the current version of document retrieved. To satisfy the second rule, if a document version is re-retrieved, the tombstones/unclaims/updates are skipped in the retrieve because they have been retrieved once before.

If a tool restores its data from a backup, the design basis information in the SmartPlant Foundation database may not be valid anymore, as there are document versions and tombstones/unclaims/updates that need to be retrieved again.

The following methods help tools to synchronize the design basis in SmartPlant Foundation with the restored data in the tool. Tools can call any of the following methods depending on the scope of data restored.
