Create a Deletion Import from a Legacy Map File

You can create a deletion import using a legacy map file from a previous CA APM release. The map file defines the corresponding data file and the import parameter settings.

You can also create a deletion import using a data file only. For more information, see creating a deletion import from a data file.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, Data Importer, New Import.
2. Click Search and Load Map and select a legacy map file that is already available on the CA APM application server.

   Important! Your map file and corresponding data file must be available on the CA APM application server.

   If the legacy map file is not available on the CA APM application server, upload the file using the Upload Data File field.

3. (Optional) Upload a legacy map file that is not available on the CA APM application server using the following steps:
   1. In the Upload Data File field, browse on your local server and select a legacy map file.
   2. Click OK when you receive a message about the file type.

      The legacy map file is uploaded and is displayed in the Data File field.

   3. Click Reset.
   4. Click Search and Load Map and select the legacy map file that you uploaded.

      The legacy map file is displayed in the Legacy Map File field.

      The Basic Information is loaded.

   Note: If you receive a warning about the source data file, upload the data file using the Upload Data File field.

4. Specify the Advanced Settings and click Save.

   The Exclusion Filter and Mapping data mapping are loaded. The Mapping, Exclusion Filter, and Schedule areas of the page are now available for your input. The Mapping and Exclusion Filter areas display the data from the legacy map file.

   Note: For information about specifying the Advanced Settings, see creating a deletion import from a data file.
