How GRLoader Populates the Database

Populating the database by loading configuration items (CIs) and relationships is a multistep process as follows:

  1. Input data containing information about CIs and their relationships is converted to XML.
  2. The CA CMDB GRLoader program uses the XML data as input.
  3. GRLoader loads the data into the database.

    Note: For information about GRLoader, see the CA CMDB Technical Reference Guide.

  4. CA CMDB provides ADT to convert the data from its native format into the correct XML format. In addition, CA CMDB includes several Federation Adapters that use ADT facilities.
