CSV input file format and structure

A CSV input file consists of individual records, where each record is delimited by carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) characters.

One or more comment records can be inserted between any two records. Comment records are identified by a slash character (/) in the first position. Blank records (records containing blanks or CR/LF characters only) are not permitted.

Input file records are separated into the following sections:

Header

Contains a single record

Interval

Contains interval object instances (interval table records)

Classes

(Optional) Static tables that contain data for one or more object classes

Each class must contain all records for which business data is provided in the Relations section of the input file. For example, if relation PARTOSAD contains data for two LPARs and three OSA links, the static section of the file would contain two classes:

  • PARTNS with 2 LPAR instances
  • OSAS with three OSA link instances

Relations

(Optional) Dynamic tables that contain data for one or more relations
