Deployment

Deploy ASM for the First Time

Before You Begin

The following table outlines the steps that you must complete to deploy and configure this module for the first time. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for deploying the basic system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. GE Digital recommends, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

If you are deploying this module in APM Now, before you begin completing these tasks, review the system requirements for this module to identify the supported features for this module in APM Now. Unless noted, all deployment tasks in the following table are applicable for the deployment of this module in APM Now.

Results

Step	Task	Notes
1	Review the ASM data module to determine which relationship definitions you will need to modify to include your custom equipment and location families. Via Configuration Manager,modify the relationship definitions as needed.	This step is required only if you store equipment and location information in families other than the baseline Equipment and Functional Location families.
2	Assign Security Users to one or more of the ASM Security Groups and Roles.	This step is required.

Upgrade or Update ASM to V4.3.1.0.0

Before You Begin

The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V4.3.1.0.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Procedure

Upgrade from any version V4.3.0.0.0 through V4.3.0.7.7

This module will be updated to V4.3.1.0.0 automatically when you update the components in the basic GE Digital APM system architecture. No additional steps are required.

Upgrade from any version V4.2.0.0 through V4.2.0.9.3

Step	Task	Notes
1	Prior to upgrading your database, review any Action records that are linked to HI Sources and link the HI Sources to Health Indicator records if necessary.	This step is optional. As of V4.3.0.6.0, actions are implemented by health indicators rather than by HI Sources. When you upgrade to the current version, if an action was previously implemented as an HI Source, if that HI Source has a related health indicator, the action will be linked to that health indicator during the upgrade. Similarly, if the action has multiple health indicators, one of them will be selected to implement the action. However, if the HI Source does not have a related health indicator, the action will no longer be implemented after the upgrade. Therefore, you should complete this step if you want to ensure your actions in these scenarios have an implementation after the upgrade (i.e., be linked to a Health Indicator record). This change does not impact Measurement Locations.

ASM Security Groups

The following table lists the baseline Security Groups available for users within this module, as well as the baseline Roles to which those Security Groups are assigned.

Important: Assigning a Security User to a Role grants that user the privileges associated with all of the Security Groups that are assigned to that Role. To avoid granting a Security User unintended privileges, before assigning a Security User to a Role, be sure to review all of the privileges associated with the Security Groups assigned to that Role. Also, be aware that additional Roles, as well as Security Groups assigned to existing Roles, can be added via Security Manager.

Security Group	Roles
MI ASM Administrator	MI Strategy Admin
MI ASM Analyst	MI Strategy Admin MI Strategy Power MI Strategy User MI Mechanical Integrity Power
MI ASM Reviewer	MI Strategy Admin MI Strategy Power MI Strategy User
MI ASM Viewer	MI APM Viewer MI Strategy Admin MI Strategy Power MI Strategy User

Associating a Strategy with a Specific Site

Some companies that use the GE Digital software have facilities at multiple sites or locations around the world. Each site contains unique locations and equipment.

If needed, you can define these sites and associate equipment and locations with the site to which they belong. When you create an Asset Strategy record and link it to an Equipment or Functional Location record, the Site Reference field will be populated automatically with the Record ID of the Site Reference record to which the Equipment or Functional Location record is linked. To help streamline the strategy-building process, the GE Digital system will allow you to add multiple Asset Strategies to System Strategies only if all the underlying equipment and locations belong to the same site. Likewise, you can add multiple System Strategies to a Unit Strategy only if all the underlying equipment and locations belong to the same site.
