System Architecture for EAM Adapters

The single server configuration is the simplest way to configure APM Connect. However, it does include an embedded database. The following image depicts this configuration.

Many organizations choose to separate their databases. It is possible to install the intermediate repository database on an external server, and to keep the APM Connect Systems database on a different server. The following image depicts this configuration.

Note: The external configuration will affect performance. The single server configuration results in faster performance.

  • Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2012
  • Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2014
  • Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2016

• If you are using an Oracle database, to process the Work History cube, you must install ODP.NET (Oracle Data Provider.NET), an Oracle Data Access Component, on the machine where the Work History cube is deployed.

System Architecture

Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services provides the ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly and easily. Analysis Services provides the means to access warehouses of data by letting you create dimensional cubes from information in the database and dimension tables. Numeric measures can be summed into pre-aggregated values while cubes are being created. Cubes can contain data that is summarized, copied, or read directly from the data warehouse. Cubes, dimensions, and partitions can be processed (that is, updated) to incorporate new or changed data from the data warehouse. Time, location, equipment type, or sizes are common dimensions against which measures are calculated and displayed in GE Digital APM. The data warehouse can be created as a separate database, combining information from GE Digital APM and other data sources. Alternatively, dimensional cubes can be created by accessing the GE Digital APM database directly.

Together, Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services and the Metrics and Scorecards module functionality provide GE Digital APM users with the ability to analyze data in the GE Digital APM database using the features of Analysis Services through the GE Digital APM interface. To use the Metrics and Scorecards functionality, you must incorporate SQL Server Analysis Services into your GE Digital APM system.

If you choose to implement the Metrics and Scorecards module within your system, we recommend using a configuration in which the Analysis Server exists on a machine that is separate from the GE Digital APM Server. This deployment scenario most accurately reflects the GE Digital APM testing environment. The following illustration shows how the SQL Server Analysis Services Server connects to the basic GE Digital APM System architecture.
