PDI SAP EAM–AVEVA AIM Integration Library
Empowering Maintenance & Engineering Teams with SAP ↔ AVEVA Asset Information Automation
After standardizing on SAP EAM / SAP PM and AVEVA Asset Information Management (AIM / AVEVA NET), maintenance execution can still stall when engineering content is hard to find, validate, and connect to the work.
PDI SAP–AVEVA AIM Library is a Packaged Integration Library powered by Informatica IDMC Cloud Application Integration (CAI) that automates SAP maintenance events → AVEVA AIM information discovery → SAP link-back, with repeatable deployments, monitoring, and operational runbooks built in.
Why PDI SAP–AVEVA AIM Library
Market Challenges
Organizations integrating SAP PM/EAM with AVEVA AIM/NET often face significant operational challenges, including:
- Engineering content and asset information living outside SAP, requiring manual lookups
- One-off integrations that are brittle, costly to enhance, and hard to replicate across environments
- Inconsistent linking of documents/asset context back to SAP notifications and orders
- Limited traceability when logging, correlation IDs, and evidence capture are not standardized
- Release friction due to missing packaging, runbooks, and environment mapping
How the PDI SAP–AVEVA AIM Library works
PDI Solution: SAP EAM / SAP PM – AVEVA AIM Library
PDI’s Packaged Library, powered by Informatica IDMC CAI, triggers on SAP maintenance events (notification/work order create/update), queries AVEVA AIM/NET for relevant asset information and engineering content based on equipment / functional location / document attributes, and links curated results back into SAP. The solution includes standardized traceability/auditability/evidence logging (audit store customer-approved; Snowflake optional) plus repeatable deployment runbooks for consistent promotion across DEV/QA/PROD.
Key Features:
- CAI SAP Event Router: Standard trigger handling for SAP notification/order create/update
- AVEVA AIM Discovery: Search and retrieve relevant asset info + document metadata/IDs/links
- SAP Link-Back: Attach/link curated results to SAP objects (configurable to customer standard)
- Integration Audit Logger: Correlation IDs + event traces for evidence/traceability (Snowflake optional)
- Standard REST Utility: Unified retries, throttling, and error handling across API calls
- Repeatable Packaging: Delivered as deployable package (e.g., .car / repo) with environment overrides
PDI Solution Benefits
By leveraging the PDI SAP–AVEVA AIM Library, organizations gain the following benefits:
-
- Faster rollout: packaged Library reduce integration build and test effort
- Improved maintenance execution: asset info and documents available in SAP context
- Lower delivery risk: standardized patterns reduce defects and rework
- Operational readiness built in: monitoring + runbooks reduce support burden
- Consistent evidence logging: traceability across transactions and environments
- Repeatable releases: smoother promotion across DEV/QA/PROD with predictable controls

“Migrating to IDMC from Informatica PowerCenter ensured a seamless transition of our decades of data integration workload into a modern administration-free platform with better performance. We were able to harness our team’s extensive experience with Informatica low code, no code products and retool our employee base with relative ease. The migration factory from Informatica and the Data Validation Framework from PDI, our chosen System Integrator, ensured we didn't have to change any of our business logic and validate the data in an automated and auditable way using the new cloud platform.
A migration of this scale was not a small and easy one. But PDI who worked on it were always ready to be flexible as and when we requested. This team went beyond their commitment and delivered this project within the timelines we wanted them to complete, and this does not happen very often. We are fortunate to have worked with this amazing TEAM PDI who delivered what they promised”
