Deployment

Deploy Reliability Analytics 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

StepTaskNotes
1Review the following data models 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 Reliability Analytics Security Groups and Roles.This step is required.
3 Ensure that the Meridium Simulation Service is installed and running.If the basic GE Digital APM system architecture is already installed, the Meridium Simulation Service is automatically installed and run.
