1

Assign Security Users to one or more of the RCM Security Groups and Roles.

This step is required.

2

Review the RCM data model to determine which relationship definitions you will need to modify to include your custom equipment and location families. Via Configuration Manager, modify the relationship definitions as needed.

This step is required only if you store equipment and location information in families other than the baseline Equipment and Functional Location families.

    Prior to upgrading your database, review any RCM Analysis records that are linked to virtual assets. If you want any of those analyses to remain an analysis, link the associated virtual assets to the Asset Hierarchy prior to upgrading.

    In addition, for any analyses that are linked to both real and virtual assets, link all the virtual assets in the analysis to the Asset Hierarchy prior to upgrading.

    This step is required only if your database has virtual assets linked to an RCM analysis, and you do not want the analysis to be converted to an analysis template on upgrading.
