Import Data From Exida

About This Task

This topic describes how to import an exSILentia file from Exida. APM supports exSILentia v4 (.exp file). The exSILentia file stores data related to one or more Protective Instrument Loops in an SIL analysis.
Note: Importing project files from exSILentia is not supported on mobile devices (for example, tablets or mobile phones).

Procedure

  1. Access the SIS Management Overview page.
    Tip: You can also access the SIS Management Overview page for a selected hierarchy level.
  2. Select Import from Exida.
    The Import from Exida Project window appears.
  3. Provide the path to the exSILentia file that you want to import, and then select Next.
    If the file size is less than 30 MB, a list of Instrumented Functions appears. If the file size is more than 30 MB, all the Instrumented Functions are considered. In that case, you can skip the next step.
  4. Select the Instrumented Functions whose data you want to import, and then select Next.
    A list of SIL Analyses in the APM system appears.
  5. If you want to include the selected Instrumented Functions in an existing analysis, select the analysis from the list, and then select Finish. Or, if you want to create a new SIL Analysis to include the selected Instrumented Functions:
    1. Select Create New Analysis.
      A blank datasheet for an SIL Analysis appears.
    2. As needed, enter values in the available fields, and then select Finish.
    The selected Instrumented Functions are linked to the SIL Analysis.

    The Import from Exida Project window closes immediately and a scheduler job run in the background, displaying the progress in the upper-left corner of the SIS Management Overview page. You can also view the progress in the Job Monitoring Dashboard by selecting View Log.
