DCO available asset properties descriptions

[DCIM_Support]

Hi,

1.Do we document this list of  the default 37 asset properties, somewhere in documentation?

Will also need its description and usage: whether it is optional, automatically entered by DCO or something applicable for specific use only, e.g Blade chassis

This article provide details to some properties. 

How to import data in to StruxureWare Operation

2.How do we update these existing properties using excel import?Not all 37 of properties are in excel template.

For example using 'CP IP Address' resulted in a new custom properties being created instead of updating the existing IP address property.Adding a column called 'IP Address' does not update either.

Thanks!

Hi Christopherus,

Regarding question #1

The asset properties are described in the following page Asset properties description

Hopefully this answers your question otherwise please let me know.

Regarding question #2

The excel importer is not intended to be used for updates of properties. Only for first time entries.

In this case the lack of description of the default properties hides that the IP address is a network property.

The reason for not using excel importer for updates are the fact that the excel importer will delete and re-add the asset. It will not do an update on existing equipment. This means all other information than entered in the excel sheet will be gone. Also traceability in audit log etc. will be gone.
