APM Connect Connection Records

The APM Connect workspace stores information about connections used by APM Connect. Specifically, it manages the connection between GE Digital APM and APM Connect components. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the APM Connect workspace. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

General Setting

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Application Server	String	The name of your GE Digital APM server.	Enter the name of your GE Digital APM Server to establish your connection to your APM Connect server.
Connection String	String	The URL indicating the APM Connect server host and port used to connect GE Digital APM and the APM Connect sever.	This field is required. The connection string is a combination of the APM Connect Connection parameters APM_CONNECT_HOST and APM_CONNECT_PORT as defined in the context file. For example, if the host was apmconnect and the port was 8040, the connection string would be http://apmconnect:8040/. Note: This string is used by the file SAP_ConnectorService.jar.
Integration Server	String	The location of the server where the Integration Services Integration Services is installed.	This field is required.
Maximum Concurrent DL and EAM Jobs	Numeric	The number of Data Loading jobs or EAM jobs that can run at the same time.	This field is required. The default value is 1. This means that only one job can run at a time. The maximum value allowed is 5. When the number of concurrent jobs is low, data ingestion into GE Digital APM is faster and the system is less likely to become overloaded. Note: Two Data Loaders of the same type are not allowed to run at the same time. For example, if you initiated two Taxonomy data loads at the same time, the second job would not begin loading until the first is complete regardless of the value in the field.
Password	String	The password for the APM Connect network.	This field is required only if you are using network authentication.
Password	String	The password of the proxy server.	This field is required only if you are using proxy server authentication.
Port	String	The port number of the PostgreSQL server.	The default value is 5432. This value must match the value specified for the IR_PORT parameter in the Context File.
Proxy Server	String	The location of the proxy server.	This field is required only if you are using proxy server authentication.
Timeout (ms)	Numeric	The time in milliseconds before the connection between the APM Connect server and GE Digital APM will timeout.	The default value is 100,000 ms, and is populated automatically.
Use Authentication	Boolean	Indicates whether or not authorization will be used.	If the check box is selected, authentication will be used, and you must enter the network user name and password.
Use Proxy Server	Boolean	Indicates the whether or not to use a proxy server.	If the check box is selected, the proxy server will be used.
Use Proxy Server Authentication	Boolean	Indicates whether or not authentication will be used to the proxy server.	If the check box is selected, authentication will be used for the proxy server.
Username	String	The user name for the APM Connect network.	This field is required only if you are using network authentication.
Username	String	The user name for the proxy server.	This field is required only if you are using proxy server authentication.

Data Loader Settings

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Base File Path	String	The path to the file server.	This field is required. An example of a valid server path is\\hostserver\share\subfolder. If an invalid server path is entered, an error message will appear.
Database Name	String	The database name of the Data Loader staging (IR) database.	None.
Host Name	String	The host name of the Data Loaders staging (IR) database.	None.
Logging Level	String	Determines the logging level for the data loader logs.	The following logging levels can be selected: Debug: The default logging level, and the highest level of logging. Selecting debug will return the most details and is helpful when trying to debug the application. Info: Returns information message indicating the progress of the application, and is the second highest level of logging. Warn: Returns warnings detected during the loading process. Error: The lowest level of logging returning errors only. Notes: Logging levels are hierarchical. For example, if you select Info, you will see all warnings and errors. If you select Error, you will only see errors. If you are loading a large amount of data, you should use logging level Warn or Error to improve performance, unless debugging a problem.
Password	String	The Data Loader staging database (IR) password.	None.
Password	String	The password of the file server.	None.
Use File Path Authentication	Boolean	Indicates whether or not to use authentication when accessing the file server.	If selected, authentication will be used for the file path.
UserName	String	The Data Loader staging database (IR) user name.	None.
Username	String	The user name of the file server.	None.

EAM Settings

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Work Order Generation Schedule	Boolean	Stores the scheduling mechanism for transferring work orders to SAP.	To determine the schedule, you must schedule work orders.
