I have asked a similar question in AVEVA Engineering forum but has got no reply.
We are doing a sort of integration software and we need to get plant design data from many different sources thus efficient and reliable data links are essential.
And now we are starting to investigate the possibility to use AVEVA Integration Service to read [/U]PDMS project data in an external C# application.
This technology looks very promising: normally, we do not need to launch a PDMS instance just to read the project data, still we have access to a complete PDMS project rather than to some exported files, hence no information is lost.
I wonder if anybody has ever done this - and any hints how this looks in C# code would be very helpful.
We succeeded to connect to a PDMS project via AIS. Then we realized that we still need a PDMS license even to read PDMS project data via AIS, thus we stopped further investigations because the approach didn't reveal any advantages with respect to working with a PDMS project from inside PDMS.
To answer your second question, I've checked with my colleague that worked on this topic, unfortunately he knows nothing about [COLOR=#333333]aveva.pdms.standalone.dll.[/COLOR]

My colleagues have actually used [COLOR=#333333]aveva.pdms.standalone.dll from C# and it works provided that you have a valid PDMS/E3D license, at least we are able to read PDMS/E3D project data like this.[/COLOR]
