SAP PI Family Fields
EAM System
EAM System records are used to store information about your systems to facilitate data extractions and loads.
When you transfer data from APM to your EAM or service management system, the APM system uses EAM System records to determine which EAM system to use.
In addition, EAM System records are used by the Equipment Adapter and the Functional Location Adapter.
This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the EAM System family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.
This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Sites section of the documentation.
| Field | Data Type | Description | Behavior and Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default EAM System? | Boolean | A value that indicates whether this system should be used by default when transferring data between your APM system and your system. |
On the datasheet, you can select the check box to identify this system as the Default EAM System. The default EAM system is used when creating a notification from a General Recommendation when there is no technical object from which to obtain the EAM system for the creation of the notification. |
| Name | Character | The name of the system. | You can enter any name, but we recommend that you enter a name in the format <SYSID>-<CLIENT>, where <SYSID> is the System ID of the system and <CLIENT> is the Client number. By doing so, the value in the Name field will match the value that will be populated automatically in the System ID field. |
| Password | Character | The password to the system. | The password that you enter will be encrypted and displayed as asterisks on the datasheet. |
| Reconnect Delay | Numeric | Specifies the delay in seconds between when a communication failure is encountered when connecting and when the system should try to connect again. |
The default value is 0. Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI AAE | Boolean | If you are using SAP 7.3 or above, you may use the Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE). This parameter allows this functionality to be used during extraction. |
You must enter one of the following values:
|
| SAP PI Host | Character | The SAP PI server host. | Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI Port | Character | The SAP PI server port. | Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI Receiver Party | Character | The receiver determined in the communication channel section in SAP. | This field is optional. Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI Receiver Service | Character | The receiver service determined in the communication channel section in SAP. | This field is optional. Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI Sender Party | Character | The receiver sender determined in the communication channel section in SAP. | This field is optional. Enter your unique value. |
| SAP PI Sender Service | Character | The sender service determined in the communication channel in SAP. | The default value is GE_APMConnect. |
| System ID | Character | The ID of the system. | This field is populated automatically after you test the connection to the system using the Test Connection link on the Associated Pages menu. Specifically, the System ID field is populated automatically with the name of the system, using the format <SYSID>-<CLIENT>, where <SYSID> is the System ID of the system and <CLIENT> is the Client number. |
| System Type | Character | EAM system type. | Enter the value SAP_PI. |
| User ID | Character | The User ID of a user that can log in to the system. | None |
