Creating a SIDMap file

Before you begin

The SIDMAP data is used when you have a different SMF id in your SCRT data than the one used in the Repository. In order to match the data, you can substitute the same SMF id in the Repository, with the one in the SCRT import data, as it's being imported.

For example, in the Repository “QIP1”might be listed as the SMF id, but the SCRT data has a different SMF id of “IPO1”. In order for this SCRT data to be imported into “QIP1”, you create a SIDMAP (text file) to assign “IPO1” to be “QIP1”, so when the SCRT data is imported, the data is matched.

For example, sidmap.txt contains
11111-IPO1=QIP1
11111-IPO2=QIP2

What this does is, when the SCRT importer is processing data for machine serial 11111 and SMFID IP01, assign a SID value of QIP1 instead to match with existing SID data already present in the target repository.

Procedure

  1. To upload a SIDMap file, select the “SIDMap Files” tab and then click the button and select the file previously created, for example “sidmap.txt”.

  2. The Progress of the Upload process can be seen on the screen as shown:
    Figure 2. SIDMAP file uploading progress
    Note: When the file is being uploaded to the SIDMap webpage, do not navigate away from the 'Upload' page before the process is completed, to avoid terminating the Upload process.
  3. You can upload either single or multiple files by clicking Upload. The uploaded files list is displayed on the same page, after uploading them successfully.
  4. If you wish to delete an uploaded SIDMAP file, click the delete icon next to the file as shown:

  5. If you wish to delete all the SIDMap files which were uploaded, click the icon next to the Delete All label.
