Importing Validated Resource Data
To import your resource data (as specified in the loader spreadsheet), right-click in the upper left corner of
the file displayed in the Import editor, and select Import.
Note The Import menu option is enabled only when there are no validation errors.
The resource data and its component data are only updated when there are no validation errors in the
resource SDI.
The Import editor imports the resource data and performs the following tasks at the server:
• Creates and updates resource types (component or standard).
• Creates and updates resource instances (component or standard).
• Creates and updates the resource type for the component resource instance.
The import process provides the status of each component in the Status column of the Import editor. The
possible values of status at the import step includes the following:
• Validated—For a successfully validated chassis, card, or resource.
• Resource Server Validation Error—For resources that fail the validation at the server.
• Resource Plugin Validation Error—For resources that include incorrect plug-in information.
• Resource Imported—For the successfully imported resources. This information is provided against
the chassis of the resource.
