Appendix 3: Import of Assets

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R1 (On-Premises)

The following table shows:

• Columns from the BMC_ComputerSystem view (and AST:ComputerSystem form) in Atrium CMDB that are exported
• The equivalent column name in the Assets table of the intermediate database (in case you wish to inspect the dataset there)
• The matching columns in the FlexNet Manager Suite database where this information is imported.

BMC_ComputerSystem	Assets	ComplianceComputer	Comments
Reconciliation Identity	Reconciliation Identity	Not stored.	Used internally to link the BMC_ComputerSystem view and AST:ComputerSystem form.
Domain	DOMAIN	[ComplianceDomain] QualifiedName and FlatName	The domain extracted from BMC Atrium is processed to provide a dot-separated qualified name in the form flexerasoftware.com. The same value is processed again to provide a flat domain name (such as flexerasoftware). Where these values match existing entries in the ComplianceDomain table, no further action is taken with them (other than to return the ComplianceDomainID key); but where they are not already known, they are added to this table for use in FlexNet Manager Suite. As well, the ComplianceDomainID value returned form this update is then written into the ComplianceComputer record, which may update the domain for the current computer.
HostName	HostName	ComputerName	The name of this computer. Based on a matching ComplianceComputerID, this value may be over-written with the value imported from Atrium.
CITag	CITag	Compliance ComputerID	The identity for the computer record. Where this matches an existing record, its other columns may be updated. Otherwise, a new record is created for ComplianceComputer in FlexNet Manager Suite.
	InstanceId	Not stored.	Deprecated and not in use.
ImportLog table	LastImportDate	Not stored.	Calculated from data in the ImportLog table.
[AST: ComputerSystem] System Role	System Role	Custom property Role in the Details tab (User group) of the inventoried computer properties.	Both systems record roles for servers, but the FlexNet Manager Suite role has various licensing implications, and so is not updated by imports from Atrium. Instead, a read-only custom field is added to FlexNet Manager Suite to accept the asset role for each BMC_ComputerSystem. The role is displayed in the Details tab of the computer properties. Values include: Lab Development SIT UAT Training Performance Contingency Production.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Reconciliation Identity	Reconciliation Identity	Not stored.	Used internally to link the BMC_ComputerSystem view and AST:ComputerSystem form.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Assigned To	Assigned To	AssignedUserID	The ID associated with ComplianceUser.UserName, written here to link the ComplianceComputer to the user record.
	Modified Date	Not stored.	Deprecated and not in use.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Owner_name	Owner_name	[ComplianceUser] UserName	The full name of the user assigned to this computer. FlexNet Manager Suite defaults to a concatenation of title, first name, middle name, last name and suffix, so any of these parts may be present, based on the record in BMC Atrium. Where this matches an existing user record, no further action is taken with it; otherwise a new user record is created. In either case, the ID for this user is returned, and written into the AssignedUserID column. Tip: Beware of small changes in record data from Atrium causing near-duplicate records to represent the same person. Also note that when new records are created, you may wish to update additional details about this person in FlexNet Manager Suite.
[AST: ComputerSystem] AssetLifecycle Status	AssetLifecycle Status	Compliance Computer StatusID	A translation of the BMC Atrium status values into the nearest equivalent status value supported in FlexNet Manager Suite. This is then mapped by the Business Importer into the correct ID for the status value before being written into the ComplianceComputer record.
[AST: ComputerSystem] DNS Host Name	DNS Host Name	Not stored.	Host name from the BMC_ComputerSystem is used in preference to this one.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Domain	Domain_1	Not stored.	Domain from the BMC_ComputerSystem is used in preference to this one.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Instance Id	Instance Id	Not stored.	Used internally.
[AST: ComputerSystem] Data Set Id	Data Set Id	Not stored.	Used internally.
