I am trying to bring data from a .csv file into my sandbox dataset. I know I can do this thru AIE - however it seemed complicated to set up and will take a while. Documentation mentioned a filehelper which is supposed to be under my CMDB/services folder - which I never found. Is there another way?
The filehelper is used to import file definitions into AIE, in order to allow mapping of each column > attribute. You could simply use the arimport utility to import records directly into the sandbox dataset, you will of course only be able to import into one form (class) at a time. I have records in BMC.Asset already - should I bring the .csv records into BMC.Asset and let the reconciliation engine resolve the differences? No that won't work, you'll need to create a Reconciliation job between your dataset and BMC.ASSET with the correct precedence set to update your existing records. Also where can I find my reconciliation log? >From memory it's stored in the log directory which you should find in the CMDB install path.
