SOSL,
BAEMMA was superseded, along with other engine asset tracking databases, by PRAMS 2000 in 1999. The primary reason was that BAEMMA and the original PRAMS (Pegasus Repair & Asset Management System) were not Year 2000 (Millennium Bug) compliant.
All of the engines that used Asset Tracking databases should have been migrated to LITS in the first instance. However this was not possible before the year 2000. Therefore it was decided that a stopgap Asset tracking Database would be required to manage the engines post 2000 and until LITS could be used.
This database was known as PRAMS2000 (Propulsion Repair & Asset Management System) and included the RB199, Pegasus, Adour and T56 Alison Engines. PRAMS2000 had the ability to be uniquely configured and setup tor each of the different ways the engines were managed and lifed etc.
Following the rollout in 1999 and after a few teething bugs PRAMS2000 proved to be extremely popular with engine community and there was great reluctance to move to LITS. However, after a huge amount of modification to LITS following testing and at great additional cost to the LITS project, all of the engines were migrated to LITS between 2003 and 2005. I served on the PRAMS2000 Team, at RAF Wyton 2001-2005 when the Team was disbanded
