Using the Data maintenance task, you can perform the following:

• Deleting the asset information in the Erase status
  When asset information is deleted, the following related information is also deleted:
  Hardware information, network information, installed software information, patch information, virus definition information, transfer log, component information
  
• Deleting information related to asset information in Restore, Scrap, or Pre-Scrap status
  The following information is deleted:
  Installed software information, patch information, virus definition information, software usage information, component information, and network information^#
  #: Only the IP address is deleted as network information.
  
• Changing the group names, location names, and user names registered in the existing asset information according to the changes made to them in windows.
  Group, location, and user names that have been changed by window operations are applied to the asset information by this task, and change logs are acquired in the transfer logs.
  
• Setting the groups, locations, and user names corresponding to IDs in the asset information.
  If the asset information contains group IDs, location IDs, user IDs, administrator IDs, and administrator group IDs, but no corresponding groups, locations, user names, administrators, or administrator groups are set, the corresponding names are set.
  
• Deleting unneeded IP address control information.
  The IP address control information of an unused IP address outside the range of IP group information is deleted.
  
• Deleting installed software information for which no installed software name is registered.
• Deleting the installed software information of the software whose management level is set to Unused.
• Deleting group- or location-specific IP groups from which the corresponding groups or locations have been deleted.
• Registering the group that corresponds to the IP address in the hardware asset information in Group in the asset information.
  For the correspondence between IP addresses and groups, the IP group settings created by the IP Group job menu are used. In the default, this task is not set to be executed.
  
• Registering the location that corresponds to the IP address in the hardware asset information in Location in the asset information.
  For the correspondence between IP addresses and locations, the IP group settings created by the IP Group job menu are used. In the default, this task is not set to be executed.
  
• Deleting attached files for which there is no corresponding information (hardware asset information).
• Deleting division information specified in groups that no longer exist.

Specify the work performed by the Data maintenance task in the settings file (taskopt.ini).

taskopt.ini is stored in Asset-Information-Manager-Subset-installation-folder\env. When you create taskopt.ini, you should use taskopt.org that is stored in the same folder for convenience.

Create taskopt.ini with the following contents:

[DATAMAINTENANCE]
ASSET_ERASE_DEL               = YES
ASSET_ASSOC_DEL               = YES
SOFTINFO_ERASE_DEL            = NO
SOFTINFO_ASSOC_DEL            = NO
CONTRACT_ERASE_DEL            = NO
VOLUME_ERASE_DEL              = NO
USER_ASSOC_UPD                = YES
GROUP_ASSOC_UPD               = YES
LOCATION_ASSOC_UPD            = YES
IP_UNNECESSARY_DEL            = YES
INSTINFO_NOLIST_DEL           = YES
LICENSELINK_UNNECESSARY_DEL   = NO

IP_LOCATION_ASSOC             = OVERWRITE
ATTACHFILE_DEL                = NO
 

IP_GROUP_ASSOC is overwritten even when user inventory values have been set. To update Group name for all assets according to the setting in the IP Group job menu, specify OVERWRITE. If you do not use the IP Group job menu to manage groups, specify NO.
