2.1.2 Limiting the items to be exported for regular backups
By creating conditions in advance to filter the items to be exported, you can export only the information that you want to output. By using the conditions you created, you can also easily limit the items to be exported when you back up the asset management database.
The Export window is used to export the data to be backed up.
To export data, first create conditions, and then export the data based on those conditions. Samples of export conditions are provided for each type of information. You can use these samples to export all items. For details on the asset types used in these samples, see 16.10.2(1) Selecting the asset type.
In addition to using the Export window, you can also export data by executing jamCsvExport.bat or the jamexport command. For details about the differences among these export methods, see 5.2.2 Collecting from CSV files.
The procedure explains how to export device information in CSV format.
-
Create export conditions.
Begin by creating export conditions for backing up data. To create export conditions, first click the Pattern button in the Export window to display the Select Category dialog box. After that, select Device information in the Category column. Next, specify the items to be exported to the CSV file.
When creating the export conditions, specify the following export items:
-
Asset No. (Asset information)
-
User name (Asset information)
-
Status (Asset information)
-
MAC address (Hardware information)
For details about how to create export conditions, see 16.11.1 Creating export conditions.
Save the conditions, and then click the Back button to return to the previous window.

-
Export the data.
In the Export window, specify the conditions created in step 1 and export the data. If you want to export only information from managed groups or otherwise filter the data being exported, click the Filter link to display the Set Condition dialog box, where you can filter the number of items. For details about how to export data, see 16.11.2 Executing an export operation.
-
Specify a file name, and then save the data.
We recommend that you specify a file name that makes it easy to determine the date the file was exported and the contents of the file (for example, 060701_device-info.csv).
-
Check the exported data.
Check the data to make sure the export executed normally.
To make use of the export functionality when you make regular data backups, repeat steps 2 to 4 using the export conditions created in step 1.
