About the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Data Loader

The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Data Loader allows both primary and third-party content to be delivered to GE Digital APM through either the RCA Data Model. The imported data can then be used to maintain relationships between the RCA data and the Failure Modes and Hypotheses. Users can deploy the data loader to import:

Legacy analysis data for performance comparisons.
Third-party template content.

The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Data Loader transfers data from a fixed-format Excel workbook into either the RCA Data Model or the RCA Logic Tree. The imported data can be:

An RCA Analysis.
An RCA Event.
A Failure Mode.
A Logic Gate.
An RCA Hypothesis.
An RCA Diagram Relationship.

Note: The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Data Loader will not be backwards compatible to earlier versions of GE Digital APM.
