Import assets and asset specifications with MIF

I have already given a simple tutorial on how to import assets with MIF using interface tables.  Now, if you want to import asset specifications as well, this is a detailed tutorial on how to do that with interface tables.  You can also download a sample excel document that I used to import into the interface table, prior to the MIF importing into Maximo, which you can use as base structure for your own data import.

Prior to loading data, I will assume that you have already setup the MIF, entered locations, and created some classifications for your assets.  To setup MIF that is ready to import assets you can read this post.

    Hi I have a question which is along the same lines,..

    I want to import CISPEC data in to CCMDB.

    the issue I have is that if a ci record has say 35 exisitng specifications. When I run an update to update a value in 2 of these, it updates the 2 fine, but deletes the other 33 specifications..

    I could list all 35 on the spreadsheet, but with 1000′s of records to update this is not a good way of doing it.

    Any one had this issue?

    I have tried a direct import to CISPEC, also CI with CISPEC, with update and add,.. I get the same resutls,

    Hi Chon

    I’m trying to import Asset data into Maximo. We want to retain our legacy asset number and use the Maximo sequence number for ASSETNUM field. Please let me know how can I do this?
    I’m using flat file and MIF to load the data.

    Thanks
