Create and Configure Assets

You must configure the asset to set up the IoT data simulator. Navigate to the URL for example your_host/am/, configure the asset type and create several assets.

Before you start

You must have created three instances of the virtual device based on the simulation model in IoT platform.

To configure the asset:

Here's what to do

1. Navigate to the .
2. Open the Assets screen and select the Asset types tab.
3. In the Asset types tab, add a new asset type:
   1. Create a new asset type with the name: cell_tower_type
   2. Set the default value or specify the allowed values in the following attributes:

      Define the attributes in the following format- <NAME><TYPE>

      • city: Text

      • state: Text

      • street: Text

      • zip: Text

      • service_delta: Number

      Address related fields are automatically populated into the Oracle Field Service Activity when the maintenance is required or an outage occurred. The service_delta attribute is used to calculate the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for Oracle Field Service activity. SLA will be set to timeofbooking of the activity created + service_delta

4. To edit an asset type, select the asset type with the name: cell_tower_type and select Modify.
   1. In the Edit Asset Type dialog box, , specify the following options:

      • Name of the device: cell_tower.

      • Device model: Cell Tower

   2. Specify that there must be at least one device attached to the asset of this type.
5. Create three assets based on the "cell_tower_type — one for each virtual device you created previously. For each asset, do the following.
   1. Navigate to the Edit Asset dialog box.
   2. In the Edit Asset dialog box, specify the arbitrary Name and Description. Example for a serial number would be CT90380927098.
      Note: The Name field cannot contain any spaces.
   3. Select one device from the menu.
      The selected device will be linked with the asset.
   4. Specify the address details for example street, city, state and zip. The address must be located in the same GPS coordinate as the device linked to the asset.
6. Navigate to the Map screen and check if you can see the assets on the Map.
7. The coordinates of each asset are taken from the coordinates of the corresponding device and not from the asset address.
