How to Import Services

As an administrator, you can use CA SOI to import services from one or more domain managers that CA SOI monitors. For example, CA Spectrum or CA CMDB services can become CA SOI services. Importing services lets you quickly populate CA SOI with service models that leverage existing technology. After the import, you can update the services to add more properties or CIs, or you can leave them as is.

You can import services in two ways:

If you remove a service from a domain manager, it is not automatically deleted from CA SOI. If you no longer want to manage the service in CA SOI, delete the service manually in CA SOI. If auto-import is on, services that are deleted from CA SOI but not from the domain manager import again. You can also manually reimport any service that you delete from CA SOI that still exists in the domain manager.
