Production computer files can be imported by using the Import option on the Data Management menu bar. See Chapter 2 in the Data Management manual, this option enables importing Active Directory, CSV, RACF or SQL files by creating a communications link to the downloading (production) server. CA RCM database files are simple text files. Converters ensure that imported files will adhere to CA RCM file format rules.
Typically, source documents include a users database file, resources database file, roles file (if existing) and possibly one or more files describing the relationship between one or more entities (users, resources, roles). These relationships or connections can be any or all of the following: user-resource, role-resource, user‑role, role-role. Sometimes, it may be necessary for the Role Engineer to manipulate or extend the source files using a tool such as Excel.
The output of the conversion process is a CA RCM configuration document (.cfg file), which sets the stage for the role discovery process
