Importing SmartSignal Classic Assets

Import a SmartSignal Analytic Instance from a SmartSignal Classic Asset Using a Transfer File

If you previously created a SmartSignal asset in the SmartSignal Classic system, you can import that asset into APM as a SmartSignal analytic instance.

Before You Begin

Ensure you have created a transfer file and have saved it locally before you import the file.

About This Task

The .xfr transfer file created in SmartSignal Classic contains the configuration information necessary to create or replace the SmartSignal analytic instance.

Procedure

  1. In the Applications menu, navigate to RELIABILITY > SmartSignal Mappings > Upload Assets.
    The SmartSignal Analytic page appears.
  2. In the Import Transfer File section, select Choose Files, and then select the.xfr transfer file that you want to import.
    Tip: You can select multiple transfer files.
    The file is listed in the Select a Transfer Center File subsection.

    The Deployments page appears, displaying the Jobs Status section in which you can view details about the import job.

Create Asset JSON from Data in an Input File

Before you create APM assets from an Input Excel File, you can use these steps to verify the data. In addition, creating asset JSON validates that the data in the import file can be successfully converted to be used in APM.

Before You Begin

You must have selected an input file and validated its contents, such that the SmartSignal Classic assets appear in the Validate/Action Results table.

Procedure

  1. In the Applications menu, navigate to the RELIABILITY section, and then select SmartSignal Mappings.
  2. Select the Upload Analytic Instance tab, and then ensure that the Validate/Action Results table is populated.
  3. In the table, select the check box for each analytic instance for which you want to create asset JSON.
  4. Select Create Asset JSON.
    A progress indicator appears. When the file creation is complete, it is downloaded based on your browser download settings.
  5. Review the JSON file as necessary.

Import an Analytic Template from a SmartSignal Classic Blueprint File

If you want to add a new analytic template of the SmartSignal type or add a new version of an existing SmartSignal analytic template to APM, you must import the analytic template from a .zip file exported from SmartSignal Classic Blueprint Center.

Before You Begin

Export a SmartSignal Classic Blueprint as an APM analytic template.

Procedure

  1. In the Applications menu, navigate to RELIABILITY > Analytics > Analytics Templates.
    The Analytics Templates page appears.
  2. Depending on whether you want to add a new template or add a new version of an existing template, choose one of the following:
    • If you want to add a new template, select , and then, in the Runtime Type drop-down list box, select SmartSignal.
    • If you want to add a new template version for an existing template, select the template that you want to update, and then select Edit.

    The workspace for a new or selected analytic template appears. The image below displays the New Analytic workspace.



  3. Select the browsing for a file link, and then, in the file explorer, open the .zip file that you want to upload.

Results

  • The workspace for the newly created or updated analytic template appears.
  • All boxes on the workspace are updated automatically.
  • If you added a new template, the following information appears under the template name: Version 1.0.0.
  • If you added a new version of an existing template, the new version is automatically made the current version, and it appears in the drop-down list of versions under the template name.
    Note:

    Version numbers are determined by the degree of changes made to the template.

    • A change to the first number in the version number indicates a major change to the template. A major change is the result of a structural modification to the template, such as the addition or removal of a tag. If a template with a major change is made current, you should review all models associated with that template.
    • A change to a number other than the first one in the version number indicates a minor change to the template. A minor change, such as a modification to a rule expression, involves no structural changes to the template.
