IT asset initialization process checklist
The checklist summarizes the tasks required to create asset data from deployed asset data.
| Step | Initialization task |
|---|---|
| ☐ 1 | Check that you completed all prerequisite tasks for IT asset initialization. |
| ☐ 2 | Configure the provider properties file (maximoassets.properties) with the asset classifications for your enterprise. Provide the class structure IDs for each asset object in the schema (for example, computer and network device). |
| ☐ 3 | Configure the assetinit.properties file with the values appropriate for your enterprise including item numbers for the computer (system role) names that you use. |
| ☐ 4 | In Integration Composer, set up data source connections for both your source (Source - Deployed Assets) data source and your target (Maximo® Assets) data source. |
| ☐ 5 | In Integration Composer, define a new mapping for deployed assets to IT assets. |
| ☐ 6 | In the new mapping that you create, import the AssetInitDPA75toAssets75.fsn mapping file. |
| ☐ 7 | In the deployed assets to assets mapping that
you create, modify mapping expressions for the following properties:
|
| ☐ 8 | In the deployed assets to assets mapping, make any additional changes to mapping expressions that are required for your data. |
| ☐ 9 | Execute the deployed assets to Assets mapping to create IT asset records. |
| ☐ 10 | View and resolve errors, including situations where records were skipped as a result of conditions specified in the mapping expressions. |
| ☐ 11 | Check that data was imported correctly into the product. If a deployed asset record is skipped when a mapping is executed, Integration Composer logs a message. Records are skipped if the class structure ID or the item number for the deployed asset cannot be determined based on the specified mapping expression. |
