General Reference
Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) System Requirements
License Requirements
The following licenses are required to take full advantage of ASI functionality:
- Asset Strategy Management
- SAP Content for ASI
SAP System Requirements
The following SAP system versions are required to update items in SAP with changes made in ASI:
- To create ASI/ASM objects in SAP and import ASI/ASM objects from SAP: SAP ECC 6.0 - Enhancement Packs (EhP) 1 and above.
- To update ASI/ASM objects in SAP: SAP ECC 6.0 - Enhancement Packs (EhP) 5 and above.
Additional Components Required
In addition to the basic APM system architecture, your system must also contain the following additional components:
- The Asset Strategy Management (ASM) module. ASI allows you to build Implementation Packages, which are containers of records that dictate the work that you want to perform and the Asset Strategies that contain the original work requests (i.e., Action Revision records). Asset Strategies are created in ASM.
- An SAP System. The connectivity to SAP is required only if you want to create items such as Maintenance Plans, Maintenance Items, and Task Lists from ASI. To take full advantage of the ASI module, we recommend that you integrate ASI with SAP.
Deploying Asset Strategy Implementation
After you have installed and configured the basic APM system architecture, you will need to perform some configuration steps specifically for Asset Strategy Implementation.
ASI Data Model
Like all APM modules, Asset Strategy Implementation consists of entity families, relationship families, and business rules. The ASI Overview page in ASI provides you with a custom view of ASI records that exist in the database. This page also helps facilitate the creation of new records.
When attempting to understand and make use of ASI functionality, it can be helpful to visualize the ASI data model. Because you should already be familiar with the concept of records and viewing records in Record Manager, as you attempt to get your bearings in ASI, it may be useful to remember that ASI is simply a customized view of individual records that work together to make up an Implementation Package.
All ASI implementation packages begin with an Implementation Package record. Each Implementation Package record will be linked to:
- Zero or one SAP System records through the Has SAP System relationship.
- At least one Asset Strategy record through the Implements Strategy relationship.
- Zero or more Asset Strategy records through the Implements Secondary Strategy relationship.
- One or more Action records through the Implements Actions relationship.
- One or more other records through the Has Work Management Item relationship. These records store the details of work items that you want to implement, either in APM or in an external SAP management system.
The following diagram illustrates how families are related to one another within the ASI data model. The boxes represent entity families, and the arrows represent relationship families. You can determine the predecessor and successor in each relationship by the direction of the arrow head. The box to which the arrow is pointing is the successor in the relationship.
ASI URLs
URL Paths for ASI Features
In Asset Strategy Implementation, there is one route for accessing the overview and one URL base path for building URLs elsewhere in the module: asi/overview. The following table describes the various paths that build on the route, and the elements that you can specify for each.
Feature | URL Path | Description |
---|---|---|
ASI Overview Page | asi/overview | Displays the ASI Module Overview page. This path does not accept parameters. |
Asset Strategy Implementation Administration Page | /strategy/asi/admin | Displays the Asset Strategy Implementation Administration page. This path does not accept parameters. |
New Implementation Package | /asi/package/0 | Displays the workspace for a new Implementation Package. |
Specific Implementation Package | /asi/package/<EntityKey> | Displays the Implementation Package connected to the specific entity key. |
New Maintenance Plan for a Specific Implementation Package | /asi/package/<EntityKey>/wmi/0 | Displays the workspace for a new Maintenance Plan within an existing Implementation Package. |
New Child Record for a Specific WMI in a Package | /asi/package/<EntityKey>/wmi/{wmikey}/new/{type} | Displays the workspace for a new child record under the specified WMI. |

About the ASI for SAP ABAP Add-on
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 APM database. This documentation assumes that you activated the license when you completed the steps for creating or upgrading your 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 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 APM distribution but can be obtained from APM 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.

About the Get SAP ID for <Equipment or Functional Location> Query
After providing a prompt for an Entity Key, the query Get SAP ID for Equipment returns the record with the provided Entity Key. In the baseline APM database, the query returns records in the Equipment family. This query is not meant to be run on its own. Instead, APM runs this query automatically to determine whether to populate the Equipment or Functional Location field when you build Notification or Maintenance Item records from Actions.
When APM runs the query, APM provides the prompt with the Entity Key of the predecessor record that is linked to the underlying Asset Strategy record:
- If the Entity Key identifies a record that belongs to the query's source family, the Equipment field in the Notification and Maintenance Item records will be populated automatically with the ID of that record. APM uses the value that is returned by the query as the ID. In the baseline query, the query returns the Equipment ID.
- If the Entity Key does not identify a record that belongs to the query's source family, APM runs the query Get SAP ID for Functional Location. If the Entity Key identifies a record that belongs to that query source's family (which is the Functional Location family if you have not modified the query), the Functional Location field in the Notification and Maintenance Item records will be populated automatically with the ID of that record.
For example, suppose an Asset Strategy record is linked to the Equipment record HX-112. If you build a Notification record from an Action that belongs to this Asset Strategy, APM will:
- Identify the Entity Key of the Equipment record HX-112.
- Supply this Entity Key to the prompt in the Get SAP ID for Equipment query.
- Identify the Equipment ID returned by the query: HX-112.
- Populate the Equipment field in the Notification record with HX-112.
You will not need to modify the baseline query if your Asset Strategy records are linked to records in the baseline Equipment or Functional Location family.
