Saving with Detailing Data

When the File > Save command is selected and V5 detailing information is being saved for the first time, or any time that the File > Save to PPR Hub with new Detailing command is selected, the Save in PPR Hub dialog is displayed:

The Save in PPR Hub dialog prompts the user to enter filtering information that will be applied to the detailing data saved in Process Engineer. If detailing has been loaded, this dialog box is filled with the values of the currently loaded detailing.  

Detailing

Clicking the button next to the Detailing Name displays the Detailing Information dialog box and lists all detailing data that is linked to the current activity:

Clicking the button next to a specific detailing name displays the Detailing data Information dialog box. The values of the selected detailing are shown:

Notes

  • In prior DPM releases, saving detailing data could fail due to insufficient memory when the detailing data to be saved was too large. To overcome this limitation and provide maximum reliability when saving, detailing data is now saved to the database through multiple buffers. The default size of this buffer is 512KB, however a different buffer size may be set via the PPRHUB_MBUF_SIZE environment variable. For example, to set a buffer size of 64KB, set "PPRHUB_MBUF_SIZE = 65536" (where 64KB = 64*1024, or 65536 bytes).

    Using a larger buffer size can result in fewer interactions with the server when saving the detailing data. However, setting a value that is too high may cause the save to fail if a buffer of the specified size is not available in system memory.
  • Detailing may also be saved in a single buffer by setting the environment variable PPRHUB_MBUF_SAVE to FALSE. When PPRHUB_MBUF_SAVE set to FALSE, the environment variable PPRHUB_MBUF_SIZE is ignored.
