What is an Implementation Package?

Details

An Implementation Package is a collection of records that define the work that you want to perform and the Asset Strategies that contain the original work requests (i.e., Action records). An Implementation Package consists of the following:

One Implementation Package that defines basic information about the purpose and content of the Implementation Package.
One or more Asset Strategies that contain the original work requests (i.e., Actions).
One or more Actions representing the original work requests.

Note: Although you are technically seeing the Action Revisions in ASI, unless the distinction is essential to the discussion, the ASI documentation refers to these items as Actions.

There are multiple records in ASI that represent work that you want to perform. These records are linked either directly or indirectly to the root Implementation Package and can belong to different families, such as the Calibration Task family or the Maintenance Item family. Because they can belong to different families and we cannot predict the families that you might use, throughout the Meridium Enterprise APM documentation, we refer to them generically as work items.

Some work items will represent work that you want to track using Meridium Enterprise APM (e.g., Inspection Tasks), and other work items will represent work that you want to track using SAP (e.g., Maintenance Items).
