About the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan Data Loader Requirements

If the following details are specified in the data loader workbook, ensure that they exist in GE Digital APM:
  • Impact Code
  • OEE Code
  • Production Event
  • Production Profile
  • Production Unit
Tip:

You can use the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 1-Admin and Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 2-Event Data Loaders to create the Production Event, Production Profile, and Production Unit records. You must, however, load them in the following sequence:

  • Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 1-Admin

  • Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 2-Event

Security Settings

The user who loads data must be associated with the following Security Groups and Security Roles:

  • MI Data Loader User Security Role

    -or-

    MI Data Loader Admin Security Role

  • MI Production Loss Accounting Administrator Security Group

    -or-

About the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan Data Loader Data Model

The following data model illustrates which records are supported by the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan Data Loader:

  • Elements shown in grey are imported into GE Digital APM by the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan Data Loader.
  • Elements shown in green exist in GE Digital APM and may be related to the data that is being loaded.

Best Practices

When using the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan data loader workbook, ensure that:

  • The ID fields (that is, row 2) in each worksheet do not include special characters or spaces.
  • Columns of each worksheet, including those representing custom fields, are not formatted as Text.
  • The first two rows of each worksheet are not modified.

Modification Requirements and Guidelines

To accommodate a new or an enhanced feature, GE Digital APM may modify the data model from one version to the next. In this scenario, the data loaders will be modified and maintained by GE Digital APM between releases.

Limitations

  • If you reimport a record that currently exists in GE Digital APM, the newly imported record will replace the existing one in GE Digital APM. The Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 1-Admin Data Loader does not create a duplicate record.
  • You must not modify the template of the data loader workbook.

Load Sequence

  1. Download the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan data loader workbook provided by GE Digital APM:
  2. Identify the data requirements for exporting data from the legacy system into the data loader workbooks.
  3. Extract data from the legacy system to populate the data loader workbooks.
  4. Load data using the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan data loader workbook.
  5. Monitor the status of the data load operation and report results.
  6. Conduct tests in GE Digital APM to ensure that the imported data is loaded properly.

About the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan Data Loader Load Verification

About This Task

After you load data, you can access the Production Event records. In a successful import, all the calculations that are based on the imported data must be correct to the degree of accuracy specified in the Settings window in the PLA Administrator page.

You should perform the following steps in GE Digital APM to confirm the accuracy and integrity of the data imported from the data loader workbook:

Procedure

  1. Access the details of the import job. In addition to the general information regarding the records that were loaded during the data load operation, these details may include error and warning messages pertaining to the records.
  2. In PLA, access the records specified in the data loader workbook, and then verify that the expected data is present or updated, as applicable.
