When to Import Events

If you have an existing CA Audit Data Tools server with a Collector database, you have a SEOSDATA table that contains event data. To run your CA Audit and CA Enterprise Log Manager systems side-by-side and view reports on data you have already collected, you may want to import data from your SEOSDATA table.

You can run the SEOSDATA import utility to perform an import of event data from your Collector database to a CA Enterprise Log Manager event log store. Typically, you import event data immediately after you deploy a CA Enterprise Log Manager server. If you are integrating the two systems, you may decide to perform the import of data more than once, depending on your use and network configuration.

Note: Importing data from the SEOSDATA table does not remove or modify any of the data stored there. The import procedure copies the data, parses it, and maps it into the CA Enterprise Log Manager event log store.
