Inserting or updating bulk records in BMC Helix CMDB
To insert or update bulk records in Atrium Integrator
- In Atrium Integrator Spoon, open the job you created.
- Double-click the CMDBOutput step.
- Select Use cache.
For jobs created through Atrium Integrator console, the Use Cache option is set by default.
Cache for each transformation is created in the $ATRIUMINTEGRATOR_HOME$/AIcache folder.
In Atrium Integrator server group environment, the cache is created on the the server from where you execute a job. For example, if server A is the primary server and server B is the secondary server, and if you execute the job from server B, the cache will be created on server B. If you schedule a job on a server with the cache enabled and then schedule the same job on another server within the server group, you must manually copy the cache to the second server to avoid a negative impact on the performance. - Select Only insert new CIs.
- If you do not select this option, a record in CMDB is updated only if that record is changed in the source.
- In the Update fields table, in the Update column select Y for columns you want to be always updated in CMDB.
- In Update column if you select N that column is not considered during updates.
CIs are updated in the CMDB only when they meet the qualification criteria.
