Schedule Configuration Items

To import data into the CMDB, add Schedule Items to configure the mApp® Solution. You can import all CIs in a Business Object category, or apply custom filters. Importing existing CAM data into the CMDB does not affect data for CIs that were created manually in CSM.

To schedule Configuration Items:

1. In CSM Administrator, select the Scheduling category.
2. Select Edit Schedule, and then select Add to add a Schedule Item.
3. In the General category, provide a schedule group, name, and description.
4. In the Schedule category, select the Recurring option, and then provide the schedule time, recurrence, and range of recurrence.
   We recommend running a scheduled item outside regular business hours and importing items consecutively, not concurrently. However, all scheduled items must run in the same day for the CAM mApp Solution to work effectively.
5. In the Action category, select Import from External Data from the drop-down list.
6. Select Setup to open the External Data Import Wizard, and then select Next.
   The selections for pages of the External Data Import Wizard are:
   • Business Object page: From the drop-down list, select a Business Object (example: Config-Computer).
   • Existing Records page: Select the Update Existing Records option.
   • Choose Filter: Select All records, or select Use Filter, and then select the ellipsis.

   If using filters, select filters in the Search Manager as follows:

   Schedule Item	Filter Name
   Config-Computer	CAM Computers
   Config-Network Device	No Filter, select Update All Records
