Example Files

The Meridian Asset Management SAP Connector includes example files that demonstrate a 3-step process to export assets out of SAP and import them to a Meridian Enterprise vault. You can use these files as templates to create your own files to work in your environment and meet your requirements. They are not intended to be a complete solution for production use. They are only examples to help you get started. Additional steps, configuration changes, and additional tools may be needed. For expert assistance, contact Accruent Professional Services.

ClosedSteps in Process

The steps in the process are:

  1. Use the SAP Connector to export the equipment and functional locations from SAP to a temporary Microsoft Access database.

    An example configuration file Initial_Export_Meridian.sapexp is provided and must be modified with your own settings as described in Create And Edit an Export Configuration.

  2. Use the AMMTagSynchronizer tool to import the equipment and functional locations from the Access database into a Meridian Enterprise vault.

    Example configuration files TagSynchFLOC_DESC.ini and TagSynchEQUI_DESC.ini are provided and must be modified with your own settings as described in Configure Tag Synchronizer .

  3. Use the AMMTagLinkSynchronizer tool to create the references between the equipment and functional locations in the Meridian Enterprise vault.

    Example configuration files TagLinkSynchFLOC.ini, TagLinkSynchFloc2Equi.ini, and TagLinkSynchEqui2Equi.ini are provided and must be modified with your own settings as described in Configure Tag Link Synchronizer . This step is optional.

Each of the steps is performed by the example batch file SAP_Initial_Export_Meridian.bat. View the file for details.

Note:
  • The example files assume the Meridian Enterprise vault uses the Accruent Industry Template.

  • The following tasks assume that Meridian Enterprise is installed in the default location. Adjust the paths accordingly in SAP_Initial_Export_Meridian.bat for your environment.
