About the Production Loss Analysis (PLA) Data Loaders

The Production Loss Analysis (PLA) Data Loaders allow you to load the production data that exists in a legacy system into GE Digital APM. By loading the legacy production data, you can gain insight into previous performance and compare it to current and future performance. Using the data loaded by the PLA Data Loaders, you can maintain visibility and continuity in production reliability.

The PLA Data Loaders can also be used to:

Validate solution readiness by performing functional tests on loaded data elements.
Enable effective training for a specific course by using loaded data elements.

GE Digital APM uses the following Data Loaders in PLA:

Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 1-Admin
Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 2-Event
Production Loss Analysis (PLA) 3-Plan

Each PLA Data Loader uses an Excel workbook, which is referred to as the data loader workbook.
