Features and Enhancements

  • APM Connect: To enhance APM product solution, GE Vernova periodically updates the technology used within the supported software. As part of the APM Connect technology replacement, Talend has been replaced with Boomi as the integration tool. This change is aimed at enhancing the integration capabilities of APM Connect offering. The APM Connect versions impacted by this update are APM Connect Base version 3 and all APM Connect versions integrating with APM hosted on GE Vernova Cloud.
  • Rounds Pro: You can now migrate data from Legacy Rounds to Rounds Pro. To facilitate this enhancement, a Migration Tool has been added to the Rounds Designer Admin user interface that enables you to seamlessly migrate existing Legacy Rounds data to Rounds Pro.
  • Asset Strategy Implementation: To improve efficiency and to support creating and updating records in bulk, the Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) Data Loader has been introduced. The Data Loader uses the baseline ASI data model to create records and link them to one another. Using the Data Loader, you can perform the following tasks:
    • Create and update Implementation Packages and Maintenance Packages containing all baseline Work Management Items (WMIs) in bulk.
    • Import custom WMIs that you have configured using the ASI Admin options.
    In addition, you can now export Implementation Packages, Maintenance Plans, and MIs in bulk using the new Export ASI Package feature. You can also export any custom WMI families. You can then use the exported package as a template to the Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) Data Loader.
    To facilitate these new features, the following fields have been added in the ASI Admin options:
    • Lookup Fields For Data loader and Export: Used to identify the records that you want to import using the Data Loader or export.
    • Exclude Fields From Export: Used to provide the list of fields that you want to exclude while exporting a package.
    The Data Loader, combined with the Export ASI Package feature, greatly enhances the efficiency in creating, updating, and exporting ASI data in bulk.
