AMS Analytics Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used by AMS Analytics are related to one another.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of the each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

AMS Analytics leverages the fundamental GE Digital APM entity and relationship family infrastructure for storing data that you transfer from an AMS Analytics data source to the GE Digital APM database. AMS Asset Data Source records are used to store connection information that the GE Digital APM system uses to access an AMS Analytics data source and then create records that correspond to the records that exist in the AMS Analytics data source. When data is transferred to the GE Digital APM database from an AMS Analytics data source, one or more records in the following families will be created, depending up on the data that exist in the AMS Analytics data source:

Each record that is created stores the values that exist in the corresponding entities in the AMS Analytics data source. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the data that is stored in the AMS Analytics data sources. When the records are created, appropriate links are also added between AMS Asset records and the related AMS Asset Alert, AMS Asset Event, and AMS Asset Folder records.

In addition to the families described above, the following families are also used within AMS Analytics:

Equipment and Functional Location: Records that represent the equipment and locations in your facility. Each of these records must be linked to its corresponding AMS Asset record.

Note: If you are not using Equipment and Functional Location records and you want to view AMS Asset Folders and AMS Assets in a hierarchy, you can modify the application-wide Asset Hierarchy configuration in order to include the AMS Asset Folder and AMS Asset families.
AMS Asset Recommendation: After transferring data to GE Digital APM, you can create AMS Asset Recommendation records to store information about recommendations for actions that should be taken based upon the transferred data. As with any performance recommendation, you can also create a work request in a configured EAM system when the recommendation is saved.
