R Server 8.0.0 and Machine Learning Server are out of support by Microsoft and, as a result, will no longer be supported for use with APM. Now, the only supported option for R Script is RServe.
Performance Improvements
Creating Route Instance is much faster now, especially for route masters with plenty of reference documents.
In the Rounds Pro mobile app, performance on loading the My Routes page has been improved.
Features and Enhancements
Compared to the ASI module in a previous version of On-Premises APM, the new version offers the following benefits:
Improved performance and user experience: You can complete time-sensitive workflows more efficiently.
On-demand implementation: You can send data requests as needed at various levels of the implementation package, which improves performance and quicker completion of tasks.
On-demand data validation: You can validate data on-demand before implementation to help reduce mistakes, ensure data quality, and enforce adherence to customer-specific master data standards.
Simplified import and export capabilities: You can configure custom import and export workflows without rules customization.
Policy-based field mappings: You can leverage out-of-the-box flexibility and control of field mappings without rules customization.
Enhanced field search parameter configuration: You can leverage out-of-the-box flexibility and control of field lookup parameters without rules customization.
The 360 View module has been introduced. This module provides a new visualization capability for Asset Hierarchy. Depending on your role and the type and site of the selected asset, you can configure dashboards and other visualizations to be displayed. You can further personalize your 360 View pages, including saving your favorite assets, choosing your default view for a given asset type, and selecting your preferred role. For more information, refer to the 360 View documentation.
A new Ingestion API has been provided to ingest a minimal set of records into the GE Digital APM families.
Support for Korean language has been added.
In Risk Based Inspection (RBI) 581, changes have been made as per API 581 Third Edition, Addendum 2. Some of the key changes include (but not limited to):
Impact of coating failure for External Cracking and External Damage Mechanisms
Age calculation for External Cracking and External Damage Mechanisms
Release type calculation for Consequence of Failure calculation
The Integrity Mobile application now supports visualization of scope and ability to annotate PDF documents as per of field inspection.
You can now upload reference documents to be stored in APM in bulk. To facilitate this enhancement, a new option, Reference Document Bulk Upload, has been added in the Operations Manager page under Admin.
End-of-Life Features
To support Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) on cloud, rule-based customizations will no longer be valid (except the customizations for Package Builder, PRT Report Builder, and Object List Items Import). If you created rule-based customization in a previous version of APM, you must reconfigure them using the Asset Strategy Implementation Admin page.
