9 Using Import Systems with Network Integrity

This section describes how to using import systems for use with Oracle Communications Network Integrity.

Managing Import Systems

The Manage Import System page is used to display the connection settings for the supported system. These settings are used by all inventory import and inventory resolution scan actions to communicate with the target import system.Network Integrity supports a single import system at any one time.

You can edit the connection settings to change the supported import system. The settings information consists of a display name, an address, a user name, and a password. The display name is required as it is used to identify the import system.

The address, user name, and password specify the connection parameters of the import system, but are not required fields in the Network Integrity UI, because data requirements may vary depending on the scan action used. It is the responsibility of the developer implementing the scan action to determine if this data is needed.
