Import Your Asset Resource Data
You can use Import Management to create, update, or delete your Asset Resource data.
To import asset resource records, perform the following tasks:
-
Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.
-
Create source Comma Separated Values (.csv) file for import.
-
Create the import activity.
-
Review the import activity.
How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes
You import Asset Resource data into Oracle Applications Cloud from a CSV file containing your source data that's mapped to target Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.
You must do the following before creating the .csv file for data import:
-
Identify how your source data attributes map to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.
-
Ensure prerequisite steps are complete, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.
-
Understand your options for uniquely identifying the records.
-
Ensure parent records exist before importing child records.
-
Identify the target object attributes that are required in the .csv file for a successful import
To better manage your Asset Resource information, the Asset Resource object has the following child objects:
-
Address
-
Classification
-
Relationship
-
Sales Team Member
Before You Start
You must do some basic checks before starting your import. For example, make sure that:
-
You have completed all the prerequisites for importing each attribute in your source data.
-
You have all parent records in place before importing child records.
Select a Unique Identifier for Your Records
All records must be unique in the application. You can use one of these to identify records:
-
Public unique identifiers: If you're creating records, then you can provide an easily understandable public unique identifier. These are, usually, denoted with 'Number' and visible in the business object's UI. PUID attributes are usually named <object> Number. If you're updating a record with a Number attribute, then use the Number attribute to identify the record. For more information about public unique identifiers, see the topic "How You Use Alternate Keys to Import Records" in Related Topics section.
-
Source system and source system reference: Source system is an identifier for the external system, and source system reference is a unique identifier within the external system. If you're importing new Asset Resources or are updating Asset Resources that have source system reference data, then provide the source system and source system reference values.
Required Attributes and Validations for the Asset Resource Object
To import data successfully into Oracle Applications Cloud, your CSV file must include the required attributes. Make sure that you provide valid values for these attributes so that they pass import validations inbuilt into the application.
This table lists the required attributes for Asset Resource records, prerequisite setup tasks and specific validations, if any:
