The Schedules link in the Admin Utility opens the Schedule Imports and Monitor Progress window. This window allows you to create one or more schedules for importing or exporting data from one or more data sources. You can create one schedule for multiple assets, or you can create multiple schedules, such as one for each asset type. You can also run a schedule now and then review the results. Integrity also allows you to create an Auto schedule, which checks the import folder for a NewFiles.txt file, and when this file exists Integrity imports the data in that folder.

This window also allows you to view the status of all data imports. The Schedules link is available only when the database exists as specified through the Database link.

To import data now or on a scheduled basis:

  1. In the Admin Utility, click the Schedules link.

  2. Click Add to open the Schedule Properties window and add a new schedule.

  3. Click on the General tab to name the import schedule and identify which Integrity server or data collector will import the data. Complete the following steps:

    1. In the Schedule Name field, type a descriptive name for the import schedule.

    2. In the Server run on field, type the name of the Integrity server or data collector that will import the data.

    3. If you want to disable this schedule, clear the Enabled check box. By default, this check box is selected so the import starts at the scheduled time.

  4. Click on the Sequences tab to specify the data import tasks (sequences) and their order. This tab allows you to select sequence definitions for one or more assets in a single schedule. For each asset you want to include in this schedule, complete the following steps:

    1. In the Asset field, select an asset. To view a list of assets that have not been scheduled, you can click the Schedule button next to the Asset field.

    2. In the Definitions list, select one or more sequences you want to run. Most asset models support an All sequence. Other sequences are available for testing and troubleshooting purposes, as well as for coordinating connected assets and cross references. In most cases, these other sequences should be used only when working with Technical Support. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for the associated asset model.

    3. Click the > button to move the selected sequences to the Sequence list.

    4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the order of the sequences. The tasks are run one at a time starting at the scheduled start time.

  5. Click the Schedule tab to specify the frequency and start time for the import.

  6. If you want to run the defined import now, complete the following steps:

    1. In the Perform schedule field, select One Time Only.

    2. Check the Run now check box.

    3. Click OK.

  7. If you want to run the defined import when a NewFiles.txt file is in the import folder, complete the following steps:

    Integrity can use a NewFiles.txt file to indicate new data is available. Several Integrity utilities that support data collection and transport create and use this file to continue the data processing on the next system.

    1. In the Perform schedule field, select Auto.

    2. Click OK.

  8. If you want to schedule the defined import, complete the following steps:

    1. In the Perform schedule field, select how often you would like the defined import to run, such as Daily or Weekly. Additional fields are displayed in the Details section.

    2. Use the fields in the Details section to define the schedule you want.

    3. In the Start Time field, refine the start time for the next scheduled import to begin.

    4. Click OK.

Repeat these steps until you have scheduled all data imports and they are listed on the Schedule Imports and Monitor Progress window. You can click the plus sign (+) next to each import schedule to see the import tasks included in it. Notice the Percent Complete column for each task. Wait until the initial data imports have successfully finished before you open the Integrity web interface to view the data.
