Thanks, Bob and Chris.  I also have a ticket raised on this and have our Customer Manager on the case.  Personally my problem is that I'm an end user in Finance trying to support different project teams bulk-upload their asset data so that we can use it in Finance.  All discussion on business adapters is foreign to me as I'm having to go to my SAM team system administrator at present and he also needs some help from Flexera to set this up.

Thanks, @JohnSorensenDK  .  Is there a link to a user guide for how we run the Business Importer, please?  Currently I receive a weekly spreadsheet of what HW assets have been installed and which have been replaced.  I load this in MS Access and that produces two output files from this data: 1) a list of new records to create, 2) a list of records to set the status to 'Disposed'. Each Access export file is an XLS sheet with all the field names set to those neede by my Admin to load through the beacon.  So the process to produce standard consistent sheets with the right column headings is already there. I spoke to my Admin and I'm not sure hw knows about the Importer, unless him using 'the Beacon' is the same thing. Thanks. ... View more

I have a similar issue and have just seen this after posting a similar request.  I also used to be a HPAM user and use Connect-IT.  I know our Admin uses 'the beacon' to bulk upload records, but each time it means troubling him and waiting for him to get round to it. ... View more
