Roger and all:
I forgot about that one. Also, the item id (I forget which field this is but it is the field directly above the data set id and is quite a few characters in length) must be unique. If there is not workflow to set this, I would create such so that it functions on Merge and gives the asset a different set of ids than that set by the 'other' workflow.
Also, I would like to state that I was very successful in RE-IMPORTING data back into the AST:Computer System form, but if you are trying to import NEW data, you have to use the BMC: forms (I don't know why, but this is the only way that I was able to do so.) I would set the dataset ID to BMC.ASSET or your items will not appear.

Subject: Importing data into join forms in Asset Management module
Hello everyone,
We are trying to import data into the Asset module
AST:Computer system form.
This is a self-join of BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem on InstanceId.
BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem in turn is a join of
BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem_ and BMC:BMC_AssetBase, again based
on InstanceId.
The data imports and BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem_,
BMC:BMC_AssetBase, BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem each have
thousands of records. Most importantly, they all have
matching InstanceId values.
But when we query the AST:Computer system form it has no
records.
BMC:BMC_ComputerSystem has thousands of records, with values
in InstanceId. So how can you join it to itself based on
InstanceId and not get any records?
What are we missing?
