The following table provides a brief overview of the data file requirements for the PDS provider adapter. These files must be made available at a location accesible to the V-Suite CORE user responsible for updating the asset database from PDS.

PDS Project Control Database DDL file

PDS Code List Files

Reference Data Manager extracted Code List files for Standard Notes 125, 145, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230, 330, 340, 390, 570, 1056, 1064 and 1606.

code<#>.edt

The listed standard notes are for attributes most commonly transfered to the asset database. On your project you may not require all or need a few additional ones.
NOTE:  You must only re-extract the appropriate code list files each time the asset database is updated from PDS if the standard note library for the required standard notes was changed since the asset database was last updated from PDS.

PDS RIS Dump Files

Design (dd_<proj>) Dump File of tables pdtable_12_*, pdtable_32_*,  pdtable_50_*, pdtable_67_*, pdtable_80_*

ris.dmp

The format of the RIS dump may be fixed or variable, however fixed is preferred for performance reasons. Indexes, views and privilege definitions do not have to be extracted. For performance reasons we suggest extracting the dd_<PROJ> and pd_<PROJ> schema's into two different dump files. You may specify ALLtables to not have to enter all design table names.
NOTE: You must extract the RIS dump for dd_<proj> each time the asset database is updated from PDS.

Project Control (pd_<proj>) RIS Dump File of tables pdtable_111, pdtable_112,  pdtable_113 or ALL tables (indexes, views and privilege definitions are not required). Both fixed and variable format may be used.

ris.dmp

The format of the RIS dump may be fixed or variable, however fixed is preferred for performance reasons. Indexes, views and privilege definitions do not have to be extracted. For performance reasons we suggest extracting the dd_<PROJ> and pd_<PROJ> schema's into two different dump files. You may specify ALL tables to not have to enter all design table names.
NOTE: You must extract the RIS dump for pd_<proj> each time the asset ratabase is updated from PDS.
