RBI Components to TML Groups Relationship Data Loader

About the RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader

You can map the corrosion rates used in RBI analysis from the TM Analysis at the TML Group level. To do this, you must link the RBI Component to the TML Group. Using the RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader, you can link RBI Components to TML Groups. You can link multiple RBI Components to a TML Group and multiple TML Groups to an RBI Component.

Note: The Corrosion rates are copied from TML Group to RBI analysis of the mapped component only if the Source of Calculated Corrosion Rate of the component is set to Component. If the Source of Calculated Corrosion Rate of the component is not set to Component, the Corrosion rates are not copied from the TML Group to the RBI analysis. However, the records are linked.

Best Practices

When importing data using the RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader, you must use the following best practices:

ID fields must not include special characters or spaces.
The data loader workbook contains sample data in each column. It is only for your reference. You must remove this data before using the data loader workbook.
Columns (including columns representing custom fields) in the worksheets should be formatted as Text.
Import a maximum of 500 records in each data load.

Load Sequence

The data is loaded in the following sequence to create all necessary relationships between records:

The Assets worksheet is processed. The Data Loader searches for the asset that corresponds to the Equipment ID, CMMS System, and Equipment Technical Number information that you provide in the Assets worksheet. If an asset specified on the worksheet does not exist, the worksheet and all the entries in the subsequent worksheets corresponding to that asset is skipped.
The RBIComponents_To_TMLGroups worksheet is processed. An existing RBI Component is looked up based on the Equipment ID, Equipment Technical Number, Component, and Component Type. If found, that RBI Component will be linked to the specified TML Group. If you do not specify any RBI Component, this worksheet is skipped.
If any of the RBI Component or TML Group records specified in the worksheet is not available in the database, an error is added to the log, and the row is skipped.

About the RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader Workbook Layout and Use

To import data using the RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader, GE Digital APM provides an Excel workbook, RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship.xlsx, which supports baseline Risk Based Inspection in GE Digital APM. This workbook must be used to link RBI Components to TML Groups.

Note: The Excel workbook is referred to throughout this documentation as the data loader workbook.

The following table provides a list of the worksheets that are included in the data loader workbook.


Worksheet	Description
Assets	This worksheet is used to specify existing Equipment records to which components are linked.
RBIComponents_To_TMLGroups	This worksheet is used to link RBI Components to TML Groups.
(PickList)	This worksheet details the valid values available for fields that have pick lists. When you load data using the data loader, the data on this worksheet is not loaded.

Color Coding

Certain columns on the worksheets have different functions and requirements. To illustrate this, certain columns are color-coded. The following table lists the colors and what they represent.


Color	Description	Comments
	Required Key Fields	Indicates columns that contain values that are used by the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Corrosion Loop Data Loader to look up and create records. If these columns are removed from the worksheets, the data load will fail. While the worksheets require that these columns be present, values are not necessarily required in these columns.
	Fields Required for Saving Records	Indicates columns that contain values that are required to save the record.
	Recommended Fields	Indicates columns that, according to GE Digital APM Best Practice for Inspection Management, should contain values.
	Custom Fields	Indicates columns in which you can specify custom fields.

Limitations

The RBI Components To TML Groups Relationship Data Loader has the following limitations:

The values that you enter in the data loader workbook are case-sensitive.
If there are multiple components with same ID within an asset, the TML group is mapped only to the first component and the remaining components are ignored.

Assets Worksheet

In the Assets worksheet, you can specify assets. You can link the RBI Components that belongs to the assets specified in this worksheet to the TML groups. The columns that appear on this worksheet also appear on every subsequent worksheet, and are used to identify the records that will be linked, directly or indirectly, to the assets.

Note: Each row in this worksheet represents a unique asset. You should not include the same asset more than once.


Field Caption	Field ID	Data Type (Length)	Comments
Equipment ID	MI_EQUIP000_EQUIP_ID_C	Character (255)	This column requires at least one cell to have a value.
CMMS System	MI_EQUIP000_SAP_SYSTEM_C	Character (255)	If the Equipment record for an asset has a value in the CMMS System field, that value is required in this cell.
Equipment Technical Number	MI_EQUIP000_EQUIP_TECH_NBR_C	Character (255)	If you are required to enter a value for the CMMS System cell for an asset, and the Equipment record for the asset has a value in the Equipment Technical Number field, that value is required in this cell. If there is no value in the CMMS System field, this cell can be blank, even if the Equipment record contains a value for the Equipment Technical Number field.

RBIComponents_To_TMLGroups

In the RBIComponents_To_TMLGroups worksheet, you can specify the RBI Components and the corresponding TML Groups that you want to link.

Note: Each row represents a unique component, though multiple components may be related to the same asset.


Equipment ID	MI_EQUIP000_EQUIP_ID_C	Character (255)	Values in this column must match values entered on the Assets worksheet.
CMMS System	MI_EQUIP000_SAP_SYSTEM_C	Character (255)	Values in this column must match values entered on the Assets worksheet, if they exist.
Equipment Technical Number	MI_EQUIP000_EQUIP_TECH_NBR_C	Character (255)	Values in this column must match values entered on the Assets worksheet, if they exist.
Component	MI_RBICOMPO_COMPO_C	Character (250)	A value is required. Enter the RBI Component ID.
Component Type	MI_RBICOMPO_COMPO_TYPE_C	Character (60)	A value is required. In the baseline GE Digital APM system, this cell may only contain one of the values available in the (Picklist) worksheet.
TML Group ID	MI_TMLGROUP_ID_C	Character (50)	A value is required. Enter the TML Group ID that you want to link to the specified RBI Component.
