Running the mapping for CI types

When you create a mapping, you define a set of expressions. These expressions specify how to transform instances from the TADDM data source to the target database in Maximo IT. To transform the TADDM data and import it into the target database, you must run the mapping.

Before you begin

To run the mapping, you can either:

  • Run a script that provides all the parameter values inside the file.
  • Enter a detailed command that provides all the required parameter values directly on the command line.

For this task, the detailed command is used. The executeMapping command runs the script unedited, and you supply all the values in the command rather than in the script.

To run your mapping for CI types, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Close Integration Composer, if running.
  2. Do not use the Maximo IT user interface at the same time that you are running a mapping. There is a slight chance that the mapping and the UI would attempt to update the same database table at the same time. Particularly if the target database is a Microsoft SQL Server database.
  3. Go to the bin subdirectory in your Integration Composer installation directory, installation_dir\bin.
  4. Enter the following command.
    Type the parameter values in the same order as they appear in the example. UNIX users must specify ./executeMapping.sh instead of executeMapping as the command name.

    executeMapping TADDM-2-CCMDB-4-CI-Types maximo your_maximo_password administrator your_taddm_password maximo your_maximo_password
