7.1.4 Correspondence between information to be imported using the jamimport command and classes

A CSV file to be imported by the jamimport command is created for each class. Therefore, before creating a CSV file, check its relationship with classes and determine the class to be imported to register desired information.

With some asset information, such as hardware information, you need to import multiple classes before you can use the registered information with asset management jobs.

For details on class relationships managed by the asset management database, see 14.1.3 Relationships between classes.

When an association class must be imported

To import object classes associated with different key properties, you must also import the association class that associates the object classes.

When there is a weak association with an object class

If the object class to be imported has a weak association with AssetInfo, information about AssetInfo must have been registered. If AssetInfo is deleted, all object classes that have weak association with AssetInfo are also deleted.

The same applies to object classes that have weak association with SoftwareInfo, InstalledInfo, SoftwareList, Contract, or ContractHistory.

The following sections describe the information that needs to be imported when multiple classes are imported using the jamimport command. Notes about creating CSV files are also provided.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Importing devices and information about devices

The table below describes the classes that need to be imported in order to add, update, or delete device information.

Table 7‒2: Classes to be imported in order to register device information

Class that needs to be imported

Associated class

Description

AssetInfo

GroupInfo#

To specify information about a group, specify the same value as the property corresponding to the GroupInfo object class.

LocationInfo#

To specify information about a location, specify the same value as the property corresponding to the LocationInfo object class.

UserInfo#

To specify information about a user, specify the same value as the property corresponding to the UserInfo object class.

HardwareInfo

AssetInfo

For AssetID, specify the same ID as for the corresponding AssetInfo object class.

#

For a group, location, or user, the corresponding name is set by the Data maintenance task if GroupID, LocationID, or UserID is specified correctly.

However, if the IDs specified for GroupID and LocationID are not in the corresponding classes, the name is not displayed in the window.

Notes

  • To delete information about a device, Hitachi recommends that you change the value of the AssetStatus property of AssetInfo to 999 (Erase) and then use the Data maintenance task to delete it. When deleting information during an import operation, make sure that AssetInfo is also deleted, not just HardwareInfo.

  • The IPAddress of the HardwareInfo is not the IP address used as the IP address management information.

(a) Importing information about the software installed on a device

The table below describes the classes that need to be imported in order to add, update, or delete information about software installed on a device.

You can register installed software information for a device whose device type is computing (code: 100 to 198).

Table 7‒3: Classes to be imported in order to register installed software information

Class that needs to be imported

Associated class

Description

InstalledInfo

AssetInfo

For AssetID, specify the same ID as for the corresponding AssetInfo object class.

InstalledList

For InstalledID, specify the same ID as for the corresponding InstalledList object class.

(b) Importing network information for a device

The table below describes the classes that need to be imported in order to add, update, or delete network information for a device.

You can register network information for a device whose device type is computing (code: 100 to 198) or networking (code: 300 to 398).

Table 7‒4: Classes to be imported in order to register network information

Class that needs to be imported

Associated class

Description

NetworkInfo

AssetInfo

For AssetID, specify the same ID as for the corresponding AssetInfo object class.

IPAddress

To specify IPAddress, the IP address to be specified must have been registered in the IPAddress object class.

However, if you use the DHCP server, do not import IPAddress.

IPAddressLink

If you do not set DHCP server name, you need to register the association with the IPAddress object class at the corresponding IP address.

Notes

  • To update or delete the value of the IPAddress property of NetworkInfo, also update or delete IPAddressLink. If you update or delete the value of IPAddress without deleting IPAddressLink, the delete IP address is treated as being in use.

  • If a device using an IP address is deleted, delete only IPAddressLink.

    The IP addresses beyond the range defined in the AddressGroup object class are deleted by the Data maintenance task unless they are in use by a device.

(2) Importing information about software and licenses

The table below describes the classes that need to be imported in order to add, update, or delete the information about software.

However, if the ID specified for GroupID is not in the corresponding class, the name is not displayed in the window.

Notes

  • In the case of a software with unlimited licenses, specify nothing for NumberOFLicense. If specified, the software is registered as an asset with the specified number of licenses owned.

  • To delete information about software, Hitachi recommends that you set the value of the SoftwareStatus property of AssetInfo to 999 (Erase) and then delete it using the Data maintenance task.

    When deleting information during an import operation, make sure that AssetInfo is also deleted, not just SoftwareInfo.
