1.Open PDMS, select the project (example SAM) and go to Admin module.

But... I don't know How to make the STEP 3.... Please, please, please.... Say me
3rd step is done in admin module of the project. For this the MDS project provided by AVEVA should be referenced in your project. This referencing of project is done in EVARS. Rest follow the steps. You can go through the manual to see how to include databases from referenced projects in to your projects.
