9.2.1 Selecting the method for outputting CSV data
This section explains the advantages of the various methods of exporting. Select the method that will give you the best efficiency on the basis of the information that you want to export.
-
Exporting from the Export job menu
You can create export conditions for the CSV file in order to obtain the asset information that you want to output and output to the CSV file in a batch operation. You can specify in the conditions the Asset Console management items in the CSV file to be output.
This method can export from anywhere, as long as it is an environment that can log in to Asset Console.
By specifying tight search conditions, you can output only the precise information that you want.
If your purpose is to make a backup or to migrate the asset information system to another machine, you can output user reports, job window forms, management information assignment settings, and the import/export conditions.
-
Exporting using jamCsvExport.bat
The same processing as when you use the Export job menu can be performed from the command line on the asset management server. This method is useful for automating operation because you can output asset information according to categories such as Device information, without being concerned about the CSV file format or the relationship between classes.
With this method, the export conditions cannot be changed or saved.
-
Exporting using the jamexport command
Export can be executed in units of desired classes. Multiple classes can be exported at the same time, but the contents of the export are selected in units of classes. If your purpose is to make a backup, output can be performed in a batch operation without having to accept or reject the contents of the asset management database information.
For details about information (classes) that can share export, see 20.1 Organization of classes.
