output-path value

Specifies the output folder or path to be used for generated asset XIU files

Default: C:\Import\MDM\Data\

You can configure the path for Asset Collector to directly pick-up the asset files. Or you can set the output-path value to an existing collector folder for Asset Collector.

Note: Also supports the Windows network path (UNC path) . For example, \\<hostname or IP>\Import\MDM\Data\

output-filename value

Specifies the name of the generated Asset XIU File. You can replace the default value with your desired value to name the file.

Default: Asset

output-filename host_key

Specifies the appending value for the generated XIU File name. True indicates to append the given value and False indicates not append any value.

Default: true

Examples:

• If the value is set to True, the file name can be Asset_<host_key>.xiu, where <host_key> is the unique identifier of the corresponding device.
• If the value is set to False, the file name can be Asset.xiu.

multi-tenant-support enabled

Specifies whether or not the multi-tenant support is enabled. True indicates enabled and False indicates disabled.

Default: false

If you set the value to True the generated asset XIU files are placed in the tenant specific folder as configured in the output-path value. If the tenant folder does not exist, then a new folder is created.

Examples:

• If value is set to True, where the tenant is ABC, and the output-path is C:\Import\MDM\Data\ then a new folder ABC is created and the asset XIU file is placed in the ABC folder under the path C:\Import\MDM\Data\ABC.
• If the value is set to True, where the tenant is ABC, and the output-path is C:\Import\MDM\Data\XXX then the asset XIU file is placed in the XXX folder.
