Data extractions, also referred to as Jobs, are orchestrated through the different adapters. Depending on the type of data (i.e., Equipment, Functional Location, Work History) you want to extract, there is a corresponding Job. SAP extractions are facilitated by the APM Connect Administration Center and a corresponding context file. The context file contains filter parameters that are applied to each extraction adapter Job. The filter parameters define the scope of the data extraction.
The following SAP adapters are available for data extractions:
Equipment Adapter: Extracts records that are used to store information about physical pieces of equipment, such as pumps, motors, and compressors.
Functional Location Adapter: Extracts records that are used to store information about locations in your organization, including but not limited to the locations at which the physical pieces of equipment are installed.
Work History Adapter: Extracts records that are used to store data about work that was performed against your locations and equipment, as well as failures that occurred for those locations and equipment. Additionally, it allows you to transfer Notifications and Orders from SAP to Meridium Enterprise APM.
Notification Management Adapter: Allows you to transfer Recommendation records from Meridium Enterprise APM to SAP in the form of Notifications.
Technical Characteristics Adapter: Allows you to transfer Functional Location characteristics and Equipment characteristics from SAP to Meridium Enterprise APM.
Work Management Adapter: Allows you to manage scheduled work in SAP and Meridium Enterprise APM.
