Verify the Imported Data

You verify that your data import succeeded by viewing your data in CA APM and by reviewing the Data Importer statistics.

• Review the Data Importer Statistics. To review the statistics for your current selected import, click Associated Jobs on the left side of the page. In the list of import jobs that appears, click Status Message for your import. The status includes the number of records that were processed, how many records were successful, and the number of errors or warnings.

  You can also view the log file for more information about the import activity. In the list of import jobs, click View Log for the selected import.

• View the Imported Data in CA APM. To view the imported data, navigate to the tab and subtab, if necessary, for the object that you imported (for example, asset, company, or contact). Search for the objects that you imported and verify that the objects are available.
