Loading Data Files

CA Service Desk ships with a number of product-specific data files. Each data file contains a collection of unloaded records that define or alter a product specific service desk template, a product specific pseudo contact name, and various other data required by CA Service Desk to support the integration with a specific CA Technologies product. These unloaded records are loaded by the CA Service Desk administrator into the CA Service Desk database using the PDM_LOAD utility. This utility must be run from a command prompt on the system where the CA Service Desk is installed.

Once you open a command prompt on the CA Service Desk server, orient to the directory containing the data files. Begin by orienting on the CA Service Desk program directory. That directory is referred to generically as $NX_ROOT. The default $NX_ROOT is:

c:\Program Files\CA\Service Desk

The data files are located in the directory $NX_ROOT\data\integrations. If you used the default settings when you installed CA Service Desk, the data files are located in this directory:

c:\Program Files\CA\Service Desk\data\integrations

Orient to this directory and refer to the following table. For each CA Technologies product you plan to enable within CAISDI, run the PDM_LOAD utility specifying the associated CA Service Desk primary data file name. For example, if you want to load the data elements for CA 1® Tape Management, use the following command:

pdm_load -f integCA1.dat

This loads the CA 1® Tape Management ticket template, the CA 1® Tape Management pseudo contact definition, and other data that is required by CA Service Desk to support the integration with CA 1® Tape Management.

If the CA Service Desk server is configured to be ITIL compliant, run the PDM_LOAD utility again, specifying the associated ITIL update file name. This action alters the definitions that were loaded from the primary file so they are also ITIL compliant. Using the CA 1® Tape Management example, you would issue this second command to apply the ITIL compliance updates:

pdm_load -f itil_integCA1.dat

This converts the request ticket template into an incident ticket for the ITIL environment.

The following table lists the data files for each product that integrates with CA NSM Service:
