About Integration Composer
Integration Composer is separately installed software that is required by the integration adapter. To use the integration adapter, first you have to install and understand the basics about Integration Composer.
Integration Composer is an integration tool that lets you
transform and import inventory data about deployed hardware and software. The data is imported from
a discovery or system management tool database into the Maximo® database tables for deployed assets. With Integration Composer, an enterprise can aggregate data collected
by external discovery tools and integrate it into the Maximo database, creating a central repository for enterprise IT
asset management, reporting, and decision support. The Maximo database is the repository used by Maximo IT. Integration Composer is the only supported integration tool for
importing or updating deployed assets.
Note: Integration Composer is used to import hardware and software
inventory data from a discovery tool database into the Deployed Asset, Actual CI, or (for the
purposes of asset initialization) Asset tables in the Maximo database. The import or export of data into or out of
other tables within the Maximo database is accomplished using a different tool, the
integration framework.
Integration Composer was formerly knows as Maximo Fusion.
