Deployed assets to IT assets mapping

Before you import deployed asset data into Assets, you use Integration Composer to create a deployed-assets-to-IT-assets mapping.

After you create the mapping, you import the mapping file provided for this IT asset initialization process. The mapping provides expressions that specify what data to transform and how to transform the data for a property. The mapping is used when Integration Composer imports the data from the deployed assets tables into Assets. The default settings provided are based on demo data for the Maximo® database and are provided only as a point of departure.

After you create the mapping and import the mapping file, you can customize the expressions in the mapping. Specify computer and software (Spare Parts) data to transform and how to structure the assets (items and classifications). This customization is based on the way that your enterprise manages computers and software.

You must modify expressions for the following properties:

• itemnum
• classstructureid
• status
• Asset specification properties

After you complete all the required modifications, you can execute the mapping, Integration Composer transforms the deployed asset data and imports it into Assets.
