Updating imported data
You can create an update session to update data that was imported to Maximo® Manage to modify data that was imported before a building or complex asset was completed or if refurbishments to the building or complex asset are complete and the data need to be adjusted.
About this task
The selected location is automatically matched to the COBie facility record. Floors, spaces, and
components use the following matching rules:
- For floors and spaces, the COBie name is matched to the description, and the value of the BIMUsage field is not used.
- For floors, spaces, and components, COBie records that specify an external identifier and do not match a model ID are matched to records in Maximo Manage that do not have model IDs.
The following update modes are used:
- Update only field without values
- When an existing record matches an update record, each field that can be updated is checked for a value. If a field does not have a value and the field in the update record has a value, the update value is added to the record.
- Overwrite any existing data with updated data
- If a record in the Maximo database matches a row in the update data, the associated COBie field that has a valid value is updated in the Maximo record.
- Update objects when the updated data is newer than the current data
- The value of the CHANGEDATE field in the Maximo database is compared to the COBie CreatedOn field. If both dates are valid, and the CreatedOn date is newer than the CHANGEDATE, then every COBie field that has a valid value is updated in the Maximo database.
