Running the Equipment Extraction Interface

Using the SAP Interfaces module, you can extract Equipment manually, or you can schedule them to be extract automatically on a recurring basis. The following instructions explain how to extract them manually.

Note: You can run the Equipment Extraction Interface successfully only if the SAP Interfaces - Foundation license is active.

To extract Equipment from SAP:

On the SAP system, run the following transaction: /n/MIAPM/MIPRO

The Display IMG screen appears.

In the tree, expand Execute Reports for Data Extraction, and then expand Execute Reports for Data Extraction.
In the Equipment Report row, click the button.

The Meridium interface to extract Equipment from SAP screen appears.

In the Equipment text boxes, type or select Equipment IDs that define the range of Equipment IDs for the Equipment that you want to extract. For example, if you want to extract Equipment with the IDs 1001273 through 1001293, you would specify the Equipment IDs as shown in the following image.

In the Equipment Creation Date text box and the to text box beside it, type or select dates that define a range of creation dates of the Equipment that you want to extract. For example, if you want to extract Equipment that was created on or after January 1, 1990 and on or before January 1, 2008, you would specify the dates as shown in the following image.

Note: To indicate today's date in either text box, you can leave the text box blank.

In the Equipment Change Date text box and the to text box beside it, type or select dates that define a range of modification dates of the Equipment that you want to extract. For example, if you want to extract Equipment that was updated on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 1, 2008, you would specify the dates as shown in the following image.

Note: To indicate today's date in either text box, you can leave the text box blank.

In the Maintenance Plant text box, type the ID of the Maintenance Plant whose Equipment data you want to extract. To specify multiple Maintenance Plants, you can use the button to access the Multiple Selection for Maintenance Plant window.

When you run the extraction report, the ABAP code will look at the /MIAPM/PARAMS table to determine the Meridium APM system to and from which to send data for this Maintenance Plants. To see an example, click here .

Example

Suppose that two active rows exist in the /MIAPM/PARAMS table, and they contain the entries that are shown in the following tables:

Row 1

APM Data Source	Data Source A
APM App Server	App Server A
Plant	Plant 1000

Row 2

APM Data Source	Data Source B
APM App Server	App Server B
Plant	Plant 2000

If you run the Equipment Extraction Interface and selects Plant 1000 and Plant 2000, when the Equipment is extracted...

- The Equipment for Plant 1000 will be extracted to Data Source A, which is connected to Application Server A.
- The Equipment for Plant 2000 will be extracted to Data Source B, which is connected to Application Server B.

Note: The Maintenance Plant text box is required. To specify all Maintenance Plants, type: *

In the Equipment Category text box, type the ID of the Equipment Category that identifies the Equipment that you want to extract. To specify multiple categories, you can use the button to access the Multiple Selection for Equipment Category window.
In the Equipment Type text box, type the ID of the Equipment Type that identifies the Equipment that you want to extract. To specify multiple types, you can use the button to access the Multiple Selection for Equipment Type window.
In the Equipment Classification text box, type the ID of the Equipment Classification that identifies the Equipment that you want to extract. To specify multiple classifications, you can use the button to access the Multiple Selection for Equipment Classifications window. If an Equipment has multiple classification, the Equipment record will be extracted as long as you specify one of those classifications.
If you want to define advanced extraction criteria, click the Advanced Options button.

The Advanced Options section appears below the Advanced Options button.

1. To change the level of detail that the SLG1 log will contain, in the Trace Level list, select one of the following values:
  - Summary and Errors: Causes the log to show basic information about the extraction process, such as the selection criteria that was used in the process. If this option is selected, no success, informational, or warning messages will be recorded in the log. Instead, only error messages will be recorded in the log. The log will, however, display the total number of records that were extracted successfully.
  - Summary Only: Causes the log to show basic information about the extraction process, such as the selection criteria that was used in the process. If this option is selected, no success, informational, warning, or error messages will be recorded in the log. The log will, however, display the total number of records that were extracted successfully.
Note that the default value in the Trace Level list is Summary, Errors, and Success, which causes the log to show basic information about the extraction process, such as the selection criteria that was used in the process, all message types, and the total number of records that were extracted successfully.
1. To configure the system to process extractions in parallel, select the Parallel Run (Exe. Background) check box.
The following additional text boxes appear:
1. - Batch Size: Identifies the number of records that will be extracted during each parallel process. The default value is 5.
  - Max. No. of Batches: Identifies the maximum number of batches that will be created before the system stops to check the status of each batch's progress. The default value is 10.
  - Wait Time Between Batches (s): Identifies the amount of time (in seconds) that the system will wait before creating a new batch to check the status of each previous batch's progress. The default value is 2.
1. If you selected the Parallel Run (Exe. Background) check box and you want to modify any of the values in the related text boxes, in the related text boxes, delete the existing values, and type the desired values.
2. To simulate an extraction process without actually extracting the records to Meridium APM, select the Simulation Mode check box.
The following additional items become enabled:
1. - Maximum No. of Objects text box: Identifies the maximum number of records for which the extraction process should be simulated. This value works together with the values in the Selection Parameters section. For example, if you specified a creation date range of 01/01/1900 through 01/01/2008 but you type 20 in the Maximum No. Of Objects text box, the system will simulate the extraction process for only the first twenty Equipment items that were created within the specified date range.
  - APM Data Source list: Identifies the Meridium APM data source to which you want to simulate the extraction process.

Note: You should modify the advanced option settings only if you have significant experience with SAP. Novice and occasional users should not modify the advanced option settings.

Click the button.

The report runs, and the Equipment that meets the specified criteria are extracted and used to create Equipment records in Meridium APM. Note that all fields on the Equipment records are disabled.

Hint: To see a detailed log indicating the success or failure of the process, you can run transaction SLG1 and search for the object /MIAPM/INF.
