Background

The Plant applications such as OpenPlant PID sync and push data to the Plant Project Database.  Many users then update this data with other applications such as DataManager, I&W or Datasheets.  What happens though if a corruption happens with the data itself in the database.  How does the administration of the project report that the data is correct or repair it when something has happened?  This is where the DB Audit Tool comes into place and helps report and resolve such issues.

Installed with the OpenPlant PID application is a tool named DBAUDITTOOL.EXE.  This file is located in the following file folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS5)\OpenPlantPID

Shown below is the Database Audit Tool:

Please note this same tool can be launched through the OpenPlant Project Administrator SS6 version:

3. Select the Audit button to begin the audit.  Please note you can see which classes are mapped and defined in the Mapped Classes dropdown list.
