If ASM Integration is enabled, you can transfer values in RBI Analyses to Asset Strategies in ASM. When ASM is enabled, at a minimum, you will be able to transfer unmitigated and mitigated risk values from RBI Degradation Mechanisms to Risks in ASM.
Note: The way in which you manage the unmitigated and mitigated risk values depends upon how other administrative settings are configured.
After an administrative user has decided to allow RBI data to be transferred to ASM, they can also decide how you will be able to track recommended actions based on risk information in RBI Degradation Mechanisms records. They can choose either of the following options:
You will create RBI Recommendations to record recommended actions and mitigated risk values and transfer them to ASM as Actions.
-or-
To transfer RBI Analyses to Asset Strategies in ASM, you will need to promote the corresponding Equipment record to ASM. Remember that a single equipment can have multiple RBI Components, and each RBI Component can have only one RBI Analysis.
Note: You can promote an Equipment record to ASM only if the associated RBI Analysis is linked to at least one RBI Degradation Mechanism.
After an Equipment record has been promoted to ASM, if you create a new RBI Analysis for any RBI Component linked to that Equipment record, you can promote the Equipment record to ASM again after setting that RBI Analysis to Risk Completed.
If you accept the baseline RBI configuration and keep the integration between RBI and ASM, you will need to make some additional decisions about how you want RBI to work. Depending on your decisions, you will need to complete the appropriate administrative tasks to support the desired functionality.
The following table lists the questions you will need to ask, the possible answers, the action that you will need to complete based upon your answer, and notes to consider about the results of completing those actions.The cells shaded gray indicate that no action is required because the baseline administrative setting supports the functionality.

How will risk values be calculated for degradation mechanisms?
|
By the Meridium Enterprise APM Mechanical Integrity system.
|
Accept the baseline disabled setting for the Risk Assessment Enabled option. |
The calculated risk values will be displayed on the Degradation Mechanism datasheet. |
By my own custom calculator. Note: This documentation does not explain how you can create a custom calculator or how you can configure the Meridium Enterprise APM Mechanical Integrity system to use it.
|
Enable Risk Assessment. |
The calculated risk values will be displayed on the:
|
|
Will users be able to override risk values that were calculated by my own custom calculator?2 Note: If risk values are calculated by the Meridium Enterprise APM Mechanical Integrity system, users cannot override the risk values |
Yes |
Select Allow Override of Calculated Unmitigated Risk Values.
|
Users can use the Risk Matrix to select different unmitigated risk values. |
No |
Accept the baseline disabled setting for the Allow Override of Calculated Unmitigated Risk Values option. |
Users cannot select different unmitigated risk values. |
|
How will I manage recommendations for future action?
|
I will create RBI Recommendations in RBI and transfer them to ASM as Actions.
|
Accept the baseline enabled setting for the Recommendation Creation Enabled option. |
Users can create RBI Recommendation records using the Recommendation Tasks in RBI or Recommendation Management (when accessed from RBI). |
I will not create RBI Recommendations in RBI. Instead, I will create Actions in ASM for Risk records that were transferred from RBI. |
Disable Recommendation Creation Enabled. |
Users cannot create RBI Recommendations in RBI. They will need to promote Equipment records to ASM and then create Actions in ASM for any Risk that originated in RBI. |
After an Equipment record is promoted to an Asset Strategy, all linked RBI Analyses and RBI Components are set to the Accepted by ASM state.
Note: You can promote an Equipment record to ASM only if ASM Integration is enabled.
After an Equipment record is promoted to an Asset Strategy, any linked RBI Recommendations are also set to the Accepted by ASM state and cannot be modified.
On an RBI Analysis that is Accepted by ASM the following Degradation Mechanism fields are disabled:
If an Equipment record is promoted to an Asset Strategy that is set to the Rework state, you will need to create a new RBI Analysis for that Equipment record and RBI Component. After you create the new RBI Analysis and RBI Recommendations, when you promote that Equipment record to Asset Strategy, the Actions that were created from the first promotion are deleted, and new Actions are created to represent the new RBI Recommendations.
In the following image, Equipment A is linked to two RBI Components, Component 1 and Component 2, which are each linked to an RBI Analysis, Analysis 1 and Analysis 2, respectively. If you promote Equipment A to ASM, both Analysis 1 and Analysis 2 are set to the Accepted by ASM state.
After an Asset Strategy has been created from RBI, you can manage the Asset Strategy using ASM. Some restrictions will apply to the Asset Strategy, however, depending upon how the administrative settings are configured. The following subsections indicate which actions are always allowed, which are always restricted, and which are allowed only if the appropriate administrative settings are configured.
Always Allowed | Always Restricted |
---|---|

The following table describes actions that are allowed for Asset Strategies that were created from RBI and the corresponding administrative setting that allows it.
Action |
Corresponding Administration Action |
---|---|
Opening the Risk Matrix to view the unmitigated risk rank for any Risk that was created from RBI. |
This action is allowed only if the Risk Assessment Enabled check box is selected. If the Risk Assessment Enabled check box is clearedand you click the hyperlinked unmitigated risk rank, a message appears, indicating that you need to view the unmitigated risk values in RBI (i.e., using the Degradation Mechanism datasheet). |
Opening the Risk Matrix to view the mitigated risk rank for any Action that was created from RBI. |
This action is allowed only if the Risk Assessment Enabled check box is selected. If the Risk Assessment Enabled check box is cleared and you click the hyperlinked mitigated risk rank, a message appears, indicating that you need to view the unmitigated risk values in RBI (i.e., using the Degradation Mechanism datasheet). |
Copying a Risk that was created from RBI. |
This action is allowed only if the Risk Assessment Enabled check box is selected. |
Unlinking a driving RBI Recommendation record from an Action. |
This action is allowed if the Recommendation Creation Enabled check box is cleared. |
Linking a new Recommendation record to an Action that was created from RBI. |
This action is allowed if the Recommendation Creation Enabled check box is cleared. |
Clearing the Drives Action check box for an RBI Recommendation record that was used to create an Action. |
This action is allowed if the Recommendation Creation Enabled check box is cleared. |
