This section explains how to import information (import asset information from CSV files in a batch operation).

Asset Information Manager enables you to acquire asset information from CSV files into the asset management database in a batch operation. This is called importing.

There are three ways to perform importing:

• From the Import job menu
• Using jamCsvImport.bat
• Using the jamimport command

You can use this function to register a large amount of information into the asset management database in a batch operation, such as when JP1/Software Distribution is not linked or when information other than that collected by JP1/Software Distribution is to be registered. You can also use this function to update or delete registration information in the asset management database in a batch operation.
