About the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on

GE Digital APM ASI for SAP extends the basic functionality of Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) by offering integration with SAP. Deploying ASI for SAP requires two steps:

Activating the ASI for SAP license in the GE Digital APM database. This documentation assumes that you activated the license when you completed the steps for creating or upgrading your GE Digital APM database.
Deploying the ASI for SAP ABAP add-on, which is a package that must be deployed on your SAP system to allow for integration between your GE Digital APM system and your SAP system.

The files necessary to deploy ASI for SAP are provided on the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on DVD, which is not included in the standard GE Digital APM distribution but can be obtained from GE Digital upon request.

The ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on DVD contains installation files, upgrade files, and exchange files. In this documentation, we provide details on using the installation and upgrade files. You will need to use the exchange files if you upgrade an SAP system on which the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on package has been installed. In that case, the SAP upgrade procedure will prompt you to access the exchange files for ASI for SAP. You can find the files in the Exchange Upgrade Files folder on the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on DVD. Within the Exchange Upgrade Files folder, you will see subfolders representing the version of SAP to which you are upgrading. When prompted for an ASI for SAP exchange file, use the files in these subfolders. This documentation does not provide specific instructions for using these files during an SAP upgrade.

For information about what is included in the ASI ABAP Add-on, see the file SAP_ASI_<version>_ObjectList.pdf, which is located on the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on installation DVD in the root folder.
