Inventory Management 5-53
— Duplicate links within CSV
— Same resource and location used in the CSV more than once
Note The Link Import editor performs all the basic validations.
• Link name already exists in the Active System Manager inventory.
• Existence of resources in the Active System Manager inventory.
• Existence of interface location in the resource.
Errors (if any) in the validation (at the server) are displayed as a server error in the error details, and in a
light shade of red in the right margin of the editor. Validation also determines the status for each link.
Select links (and, if necessary, click the Show other related errors in CSV check box) to view the details,
and click OK.
Importing Validated Links
To import your validated links (as specified in the loader spreadsheet), right-click in the upper left corner
of the file displayed in the Import editor, and select Import.
Note The Import menu option is enabled only when there are no validation errors.
The Active System Manager software only updates the link data when there is no validation error in the
links. The Import editor imports the link data and performs the following tasks at the server:
• Creates links
• Creates interface compatibility
• Generates events for link creation and interface compatibility
This option imports links if there are no errors in the CSV file. The Active System Manager client returns
all links if a single error exists in the CSV file. If there are existing invalid links, you can use the Import
Valid Links option to force the import of the valid links.
The Import Explorer validates the CSV link files according to the following protocols:
• Conflicts with the already existing inventory data on the server
• Accuracy of the applicable information provided in the plug-ins, including:
— Invalid characters
— Mandatory fields
— Length of each field supported by the Active System Manager software
• Validation also calculates the action for each component and the resource. The action is provided in the
Import editor in the Status column, where the following values are possible:
— Link Imported—If the link is successfully imported.
— Link Data Validation Error—If basic validation fails.
— Link Server Validation Error—For server dependencies
