About the ACA Data Loader

The ACA Data Loader allows existing or new Asset Criticality Analyses to be delivered to the ACA module in GE Digital APM for further development, analysis or implementation. Customers will be able to load data from other external systems into the ACA module via the Excel workbook. They will be able to upload any existing analyses with updated risk assessment data that has been assessed outside the GE Digital APM application. Sites assignments for the ACA records that are loaded with the ACA Data Loader are inherited from the related Functional Locations and Equipment that already exist in the GE Digital APM system.

The data loader is used in the following scenarios:

Customers conducting an initial data load of ACA Analyses, including Analyses, System, Functional Locations, and Equipment for the purpose of completing Risk Assessments inside the GE Digital APM application.
Customers updating existing ACA Analyses with Risk Assessments completed outside the GE Digital APM application.

Note: If you are using an export file generated from a version of GE Digital APM prior to V4.0.0.0 (e.g. V3.6.0.0.0), then that Excel file needs to be modified to match the current ACA Data Loader template.
