Importing data

You can import data from several external repositories and products. Importing this data enables you to manage the infrastructure components that the data represents.

You can load data about assets, configuration items, and other items of interest. The following sections describe how to configure your system to import the data you need in the most efficient ways, using the integration framework and the IBM Control Desk Integration Composer component.

You can also import data manually, using the Control Desk Quick Configuration application. For details, see "Importing data using the Quick Configuration application."
