About Archived Asset Corrosion Analyses

The value in the Analysis State field for the inactive Asset Corrosion Analysis is set to Archived. Additionally, Asset Corrosion Analyses:

• Are linked to the asset or TML Group through the Has Archived Corrosion Analyses relationship.

• Are linked to Corrosion Analysis Settings through the Has Archived Corrosion Analysis Settings relationship. When the Asset Corrosion Analysis is archived, a copy of the Corrosion Analysis Settings is also created and stored.

  Tip: When you review an archived Asset Corrosion Analysis, the archived Corrosion Analysis Settings are visible in the Archived Corrosion Analyses workspace.

• Are not linked to TMLs. TMLs and Thickness Measurements linked to those TMLs remain linked only to the active Asset Corrosion Analysis.

Archived Asset Corrosion Analyses are meant to serve as a historical record of the conditions that existed at the time the Asset Corrosion Analysis was archived. Archiving an Asset Corrosion Analysis can be useful if you want to:

• Create a snapshot of the Asset Corrosion Analysis based on certain Corrosion Analysis Settings, and then modify the settings to see how they affect the calculations.
• Create a copy of the existing Asset Corrosion Analysis before making changes to the related TMLs or Thickness Measurements, such as adding or excluding TMLs.

Each asset and TML Group can have multiple archived analyses. You can archive the current, active Asset Corrosion Analysis as many times as needed.

Note: When you archive an Asset Corrosion Analysis, the Asset Corrosion Analyses for TML Groups linked to the asset will also be archived.
