About the Thickness Monitoring (TM) Data Loaders Requirements

Before you use the data loader workbooks, you must complete the following steps:

Ensure that the Thickness Monitoring module is deployed.
Ensure that the following licenses are active:
- APM Connect Plus
- Thickness Monitoring
Ensure that the following data is present:
- Site Reference
- Equipment Taxonomy
- Equipment and Functional Location Families
- Units of Measure Conversion Sets
- Stress Tables (GE Digital provides Stress Tables for Piping, Pressure Vessels, and Tanks. If you want to use values from these Stress Tables with the data loader workbook, you must ensure that the records are imported into your database prior to performing the data load).
Ensure that you have set up appropriate relationships and key fields. To do so, you must login as a member of the MI Thickness Monitoring Administrator Security Group.
Create a relationship between TML Groups and Assets. To do so, configure family preferences, specifying the following values:
- Asset-to-Subcomponent Relationship: Has TML Group
- Subcomponent-to-Asset Relationship: Has TML Group
- Component ID Field: TML Group ID
Note: By default, the relationship is created between Equipment and TML Groups. If you want to use the Thickness Monitoring (TM) Functional Location Data Loader, in the drop-down list box at the top of the workspace, select Functional Location.
The Security User loading the data must be associated with either the MI Data Loader User or MI Data Loader Admin Security Role, and must also be associated with the MI Thickness Monitoring Administrator or the MI Thickness Monitoring Inspector Security Group or a Security Role that is associated with at least one of these Security Groups.
The data loader workbooks contain sample data in each column. It is only for your reference. You must remove this data before using the data loader workbooks.
