4.10.3 Executing imports

You specify conditions to execute import. You can use previously created conditions or you can use provided sample conditions.

To execute import:

  1. Specify search conditions as appropriate, and then click the Search button.
    A search is conducted for import conditions that match the search conditions.
  2. Select the radio button for the name of the desired set of conditions, and then click the Execute button.
    The window switches to a window for executing import.
    On the Managed items column, those items that are subject to import under the specified conditions are displayed. You can change the assigned items if you wish. However, any contents specified here are not saved.
  3. Click the Import button.
    Import is executed.
    If multiple values are set for an ID-assigned item, a warning message is displayed. For notes about setting ID-assigned items, see 4.10.2(3) Setting assigned items.

Notes
  • If you import the following information, take note of the importing order:
    When registering Device information
    When you want to set the group, location, and user for an asset, Group information, Location information, and User information must already be registered.
    When registering User information
    Group information must already be registered.
  • Importing a large volume of data can take a long time to process. If many data items are imported, a heavy load might be placed on the asset management server, which can have a detrimental effect on the performance of other programs running on the machine.
  • If you specify a customized asset type to import data, make sure that you are using the data that was exported by the same version of Asset Information Manager.
  • If the items managed by the asset management database increase due to upgrading of Asset Information Manager, the number of items that are imported and exported might also increase. As a result, the data exported using the sample conditions prior to upgrading might no longer be imported.
