General Reference

GAA Wind Data Model

The following diagram shows the relationships between the families used in GAA Wind.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows that are labeled represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. Arrows that are not labeled represent foreign key relationships. You can determine the direction of each relationship from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

Additional GAA Wind Entity Families

In addition to the entity families shown in the diagram, the following entity families are used in GAA Wind:
  • GAA Wind Import Details
  • GAA Wind Report Details
  • GAA Wind Bulk Report Details

GAA Wind Security Groups

The following table lists the baseline Security Groups available for users within this module, as well as the baseline Roles to which those Security Groups are assigned.

Important: Assigning a Security User to a Role grants that user the privileges associated with all of the Security Groups that are assigned to that Role. To avoid granting a Security User unintended privileges, before assigning a Security User to a Role, be sure to review all of the privileges associated with the Security Groups assigned to that Role. Also, be aware that additional Roles, as well as Security Groups assigned to existing Roles, can be added via Security Manager.

GAA Wind Site Filtering

The GAA Wind families use the Site Filtering feature of GE Digital APM. You can access or modify only global records and records that are associated with sites to which you are assigned.

The following GAA Wind Families are not enabled for site filtering and are considered global records:
  • IEC and NERC Mapping
  • IEC Types
  • NERC Types
  • Report Configuration
Tip: For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

Consider an organization that has three sites: Site X, Site Y, and Site Z.

Scenario 1: User assigned to only Site X

This user can access or modify only the global records and records that are associated with Site X.

Scenario 2: User assigned to only Site X and Site Y

This user can access or modify only the global records and records that are associated with Site X and Site Y.

Scenario 3: Super User

This user can access or modify the global records and records that are associated with Site X, Site Y, and Site Z.

GAA Wind State Management

GAA Wind uses the standard State Management functionality to manage GAA Wind Performance Records. The following baseline states are configured for records in the GAA Wind Performance family:
  • In Progress: State of a Performance Record that is new, rejected, or reopened.
  • Pending Approval: State of a Performance Record that is submitted for review or resubmitted for review.
  • Approved: State of a Performance Record that is approved. You cannot modify such a Performance Record.
Important:
  • A user who is assigned to the following Security Roles can change the state of a Performance Record from In Progress to Pending Approval:
    • MI GAA Wind Super Administrator
    • MI GAA Wind Administrator
  • A user who is assigned to the following Security Roles can change the state of a Performance Record from Pending Approval to Approved or In Progress:
    • MI GAA Wind Super Administrator
    • MI GAA Wind Administrator
  • A user who is assigned to the following Security Roles can change the state of a Performance Record from Approved to In Progress:
    • MI GAA Wind Super Administrator
    • MI GAA Wind Administrator
The following diagram shows the workflow of the baseline GAA Wind State Management process for the GAA Wind Performance family.

Events Data

When you export an event, an Excel work book containing the Events data is downloaded.

Note:
  • The Excel work book will have the same order of columns as the the grid on the Events workspace and the data will always be in logged in user time zone. Few other columns are also exported which will be required when importing the same data back into APM.
  • The first row in the Excel work book will have the field IDs from GAA Wind Event family which identifies the data in each column.
  • The event data in Excel work book cannot be loaded back to GE Digital APM using GAA Wind Events data loader work book, if grouping is done on event data in Events workspace before exporting the data.
  • The gap records if any, present in the Events workspace will not be exported.
  • Individual Event records cannot be exported using this feature.
  • All the Excel work book standards and limitations are applicable.

The following table lists all the columns that appear in the downloaded file unless the user has made some modifications on the visibility and order of the columns on the Events workspace.
