The Asset Management Module link program for SAP Plant Maintenance is named ICSap.exe. It is configured by the file Settings.ini. These files are provided as-is and are not intended as a complete or finished integration solution. Professional services are required to customize the source code of ICSap.exe and the configuration of Settings.ini for each customer’s requirements. For assistance, please contact your BlueCielo Solution Partner or BlueCielo ECM Solutions Professional Services.

ICSap.exe supports three types of objects (arguments in the URL that it generates):

The executable must be called from the SAP Plant Maintenance user interface with three parameters separated by semicolons:

ICSAP.exe <ObjectType>;<FunctionalLocation>;<      EquipmentNumber>

The parameters are described in the following table.
