Bulk updates of asset records

[Lee Chilcoat]

Hi all. Does Flexera (FlexNet in particular) offer a tool to do bulk updates to asset records that can be used by a hardware administrator? For example, the HP Asset Manager application comes with an app called Connect-It, which can use a spreadsheet as source data, and then map the data in the spreadsheet to records and individual fields in the asset repository database. Very simple to use without having an extensive programming background other than simple SQL scripting. Just curious if Flexera offers something similar? Thanks for any input.

Hi Lee,

You can use the Business Adapter Studio to build an adapter that reads such a spreadsheet. Then the Business Importer can be scheduled to load the data at a time of your choosing. You can connect to a spreadsheet or a database, as required.
