PG&E is in the third year of a three year deployment of a Gas Transmission Asset Integrity Management program (Mariner). The Mariner program includes a Foundational Asset Knowledge (FAK) project which is providing a data maintenance environment: Novara GeoSolution’s Intrepid integrated with SAP’s: PM LAM and GEO.e modules and Documentum via an Oracle Service Bus providing a current and maintainable linear referenced asset repository; and an intranet data browsing and export environment: DSS.
Jeff Buturff, SDE /DBA UDC, and Jill Bricker, Principal Project Manager of Pathfinder at PG&E, are presenting a paper entitled ArcFM Performance Testing Utilizing the Esri PerfQAnalyser. This presentation will cover the methodology used and the performance testing harness built around the ESRI PerfQAnalyzer tool to support performance testing on the PG&E Pathfinder GIS/Asset Management project. By using a test harness to script the NFRs and the performance tests, PG&E will be able to quickly regression test existing software under expected user workloads to ensure a satisfactory end user experience.
