Set up SIS Module Functional Test Record Approval

  1. Enable Version Control for DeltaV SIS objects.
  2. Select the Enable Function Test Recording for SIS Modules checkbox.
  3. If desired, click the Signers button to add signers (for example managers or supervisors) for each of SIL1, SIL2, and SIL3.
    Signers are not required for functional test recording. However, modules at SIL values that do not have signers configured cannot have function test approval records created.
    When you add a new signer description, VCAT automatically sets the status of all previously approved module function tests to Pending until the new signer approves them.
    When you delete a signer description, VCAT automatically approves all unapproved module function tests with approvals from all other remaining signers.
  4. Click OK on the Version Control Configuration dialog. Version Control is enabled (if not already enabled), and SIS Module authorization is enabled. The DeltaV system creates a Version Control database (if it does not already exist) and populates it with SIS module function test approvals in your current configuration database.
  5. If VCAT was already running, this procedure adds SIS Module Function Test Approval functionality to the SQL database.

The process of enabling Version Control can take a significant amount of time.
