Software Support

  • APM now supports Elasticsearch v8.17.x.

Visual Changes

  • Generation Availability Analysis: New EIA fuel code fields have been added in the GAA Performance Fuel family, which are used to populate based on the corresponding GAA Unit Entity when you create a Performance record for a month and year for that GAA Unit.
  • Graphs: You can now apply Point Padding, Show Label Outline, and Label Outline Color to heatmap graph types. To facilitate this enhancement, these options for the heatmap graph types have been added to the graph settings menu.
  • Inspection Management: A new section named Inspection Recommendations has been added to the Inspection Details page, allowing you to view, search, delete, and supersede Inspection Recommendations. For more information, refer to Inspection Tasks and Recommendations.
  • Risk based Inspection: Schematic View (2D visualization) has been added in RBI Corrosion Loops. This capability will allow you to:
    • Map the linked RBI Components
    • Visualize the risk of the Components using color coding
    • View risk information of the Components
    • Download the schematic image
    • Render industrial drawing formats to plot RBI Components.
    For more information, refer to Schematic View.
  • Root Cause Analysis: The RCA Event Timeline has been enhanced to provide a more intuitive way of creating and modifying Secondary Events by means a toggle button for Primary and Secondary events. For more information, refer to Add a Secondary Event to the RCA Timeline.
  • Rounds Pro: Language Localization support has been introduced (that is, all text will appear in the logged-in user’s language).

Features and Enhancements

  • Asset Strategy Management:
    • You can now apply an Asset Strategy Template using a new method, which allows you to apply both Risks and Actions from maximum two separate Asset Strategy Templates. In the Asset Strategies to which you apply the Template, you can also manually add additional Risks and Actions, thus resulting in an Asset Strategy that contains elements from a combination of sources.
    • In the Bulk Update Actions page in a System Strategy, you can now modify multiple Actions in bulk, thus enhancing usability and efficiency.
  • Import and Export: You can now import and export Advanced Visualization reports using the Import and Export tool. For instructions, refer to Import and Export Records and Links.
  • Inspection Management:
    • Support for Deferrals has been extended to Inspection Recommendations. You can defer an Inspection Recommendation by accessing the Recommendation or by using the Inspection Management Data Loaders. For instructions, refer to Defer an Inspection Recommendation.
    • Using the Inspection Management Data Loaders, you can now create multiple Inspection Profiles of the same category, provided you enter a different Item Description for each Inspection Profile.
    • For Inspection Tasks and Inspection Recommendations, the date filter that you set is saved as a user preference, superseding the default admin preference.
  • Generation Availability Analysis (GAA):
    • You can now generate Performance Records in bulk for CEA units, including All Events and excluding OMC records.
    • You can now download Performance Reports for CEA units in single or multiple files.
    • The Unit Types for CEA unit have been reviewed and adjusted to comply with the CEA Generation Manual 2019 document.
  • Record Manager: In a bulk data form, you can now update multiple rows in bulk (up to 50 records at a time). In addition, the cascading drop-down list box values appear. After you select Apply, each row that you have updated is indicated by the text Modified, and the changes are saved after you select Save.
  • Risk Based Inspection (RBI) 581:
    • You can now override the calculated SHE Consequence Area on the RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation. The User SHE Consequence Area will then be used to calculate SHE Risk on the related Damage Mechanisms and parent RBI 581 Risk Analysis. Additionally, the User SHE Consequence Area will be mapped to the ISO Risk Graph and Risk Matrix.
    • RBI 581 HE Bundle Damage Evaluation is now supported in the RBI 581 Data Loader and while exporting an RBI 581 Risk Analysis.
  • Rounds Pro:
    • Lubrication management is now available in Rounds Pro. Also, you can use the migration tool to migrate Lubrication Management from legacy Rounds Designer to Rounds Pro. For more information, refer to About Lubricants.
    • The migration process has been simplified. You can now migrate legacy Readings to Rounds Pro Step Readings. Also, you can unlink Operator Rounds Recommendations from Legacy Rounds Checkpoints and link them to Rounds Pro Steps. For more information, refer to About Legacy Migration Tool.
  • SIS Management:
    • You can now copy an Instrumented Functions within the same SIL Analysis. For instructions, refer to Copy an Instrumented Function.
    • You can link an Inspection Task to multiple Instrumented Functions linked to the same Asset.
  • Thickness Monitoring: Sending and receiving data from the GE DMS Go/Go+ Datalogger is now captured in Datalogger History records. When sending data to the device, you must now specify the file name and user (captured as Measurement Taken By). Also, assets associated with TML Groups can now be sent as a single file, which allows you to skip between TMLs within a TML group. For instructions, refer to Send Data to a Datalogger and Receive Data from a Datalogger.
