assetinit.properties file

Integration Composer contains a properties file (assetinit.properties) for asset initialization. Integration Composer uses this file to define values for properties that are used in many places in the mapping.

When you install Integration Composer, the installer creates the assetinit.properties file in the following location:

<InstallDir>\properties\provider

assetinit.properties file

assetinit_orgid=EAGLENA
assetinit_siteid=MCLEAN
assetinit_langcode=EN
assetinit_itemset=SET1
assetinit_changeby=FSN
assetinit_systemrole_item_computer=DT66
assetinit_systemrole_item_portable=D900
assetinit_systemrole_item_laptop=D600
assetinit_systemrole_item_server=S900
assetinit_systemrole_item_unixserver=S700
assetinit_software_item_windows95=WINDOWS95
assetinit_software_item_windows98=WINDOWS98
assetinit_software_item_windows2000=WINDOWS2000
assetinit_software_item_windowsxp=WINDOWSXP
assetinit_software_item_msoffice=MSOFFICE

Asset initialization file properties

This table summarizes the properties and values in the file.

Table 1. assetinit.properties properties
Property	Description
`assetinit_orgid`	Organization for the assets target. Control Desk maintains information by organization. Setting this property defines `orgid` for Integration Composer, which uses this value for mapping expressions that use the `orgid` property. The organization ID specified in the file must be a valid organization defined in the Organizations application. The values for this property are user-defined. You must define the appropriate organization or organizations for your business needs.
`assetinit_siteid`	Site for the assets target. Control Deskmaintains information by site. Setting this property defines `siteid` for Integration Composer, which uses this value for mapping expressions that use the `siteid` property. The `siteid` specified in the file must be a valid site defined in the Organizations application. The values for this property are user-defined. You must define the appropriate sites for your business needs.
`assetinit_langcode`	Language for the assets target. The `langcode` property specifies which language to use. The default value for the `langcode` properties in the mappings for asset initialization is English (the code is EN). If you install Integration Composer in other languages, you must set`langcode`, in the assetinit.properties file, for mapping expressions that use that property. The value for this property is user-defined. You must define the appropriate language for your enterprise. Language codes: `Arabic AR Brazilian Portuguese PT Croatian HR Czech CS Danish DA Dutch NL Finnish FI French FR German DE Hebrew HE Hungarian HU Italian IT Japanese JA Korean KO Norwegian-Bokmal NO Polish PL Russian RU Simplified Chinese ZH Slovenian SL Spanish ES Swedish SV Traditional Chinese ZHT`
`assetinit_itemset`	The `itemset` property specifies the set ID for the item set that administrators define for IT items when configuring Control Desk. All items imported from deployed assets belong to this item set. Setting this property in the assetinit.properties file defines the item set for any mapping expressions that use the property. The `itemset` that you specify must be a valid item set that is defined in the Sets application. The values for this property are user-defined. You must define the appropriate item set for your business needs.
`assetinit_changeby=FSN`	This property sets the `changeby` property to 'FSN' to indicate that the asset record was created by an Integration Composer mapping and not by a user.
`assetinit_systemrole_item_computer=DT66` `assetinit_systemrole_item_portable=D900` `assetinit_systemrole_item_laptop=D600` `assetinit_systemrole_item_server=S900` `assetinit_systemrole_item_unixserver=S700`	Use these properties to specify class structure identifiers for commonly used items. These properties are invoked by mapping expressions as needed. To create a baseline for IT assets, consider creating generic `itemnum`s for categories of computers, such as desktops, laptops, and servers. Evaluate the system roles used in your environment before configuring these properties. Add, modify, or delete system role items based on your configuration. For example, if you have only one computer item, specify only one system role item in this file, such as: `assetinit_systemrole_item_computer=userComputerItem`
`assetinit_software_item_windows95=WINDOWS95` `assetinit_software_item_windows98=WINDOWS98` `assetinit_software_item_windows2000=WINDOWS2000` `assetinit_software_item_windowsxp=WINDOWSXP` `assetinit_software_item_msoffice=MSOFFICE`	Use these properties to specify identifiers for commonly used software. These properties are invoked by mapping expressions as needed. To create a baseline for IT assets, consider creating generic `itemnum`s for software. Evaluate the system roles used in your environment before configuring these properties. Add, modify, or delete software items based on your configuration. For example, if you have only one software item, specify only one item in this file, such as: `assetinit_software_item_windows=WINDOWS`
