You can import the entitlements for the control points using the Create or Edit Entitlements Import Job wizard. The import of entitlements with the wizard is manual import.
You can also configure an automatic entitlement import job to run on a periodic basis. The automatic import job imports the entitlements of the control points that are in the Entitlement Import Required state.
See Configuring the automatic entitlements import.
Consider the following case:
You have a control point that is in the Entitlements Import Required state.
The automatic entitlement import job is scheduled to run at 12 midnight.
You import the entitlements of the control points manually at 8 PM before the automatic entitlement import job runs.
The automatic entitlement import does not fetch any entitlements as the control point is not in the state of Entitlement Import Required.
To import the entitlements manually
Right-click in the table pane and select Import Entitlements.
In the Specify Name and Description panel, type the name for the import job in the Name box and click Next.
You can alternatively type the description for the import job.
In the Select Platform, Asset Type, and Entitlement Type panel, select the platform, the control point type, and the entitlement type to import.
In the Add Asset Scope panel, select the control points by navigating through the asset hierarchy.
Click Add to add the selected control points to the import job and click Next.
In case of importing the entitlements for ESM Agents, it is recommended that you customize the templates to limit the entitlement import only for specific objects. The entitlement import for ESM Agents may generate a large amount of data unless you restrict it to a specific scope. The results are stored in the production database (CSM_DB) which may lead to the increase in the size of the database.
In the Specify Filters panel, under the Data Owners click Add and select a data owner.
Only the control points with the selected data owner are included in the imported job. You can select the Consider Alternate Approver option if you want to filter on the alternative approver.
Under the Tags click Add and select the tags.
Only the control points with the selected tags are included in the import job. If you select more than one tag, you can also select the Include only if all tags assigned option. The selection of this option includes the control points only if all the tags that are added are assigned to the control point. If you do not select the Include only if all tags assigned option, the import job includes the control points with any selected tags.
In the Specify Notification Details panel, enter the job completion notification details.
Check Send notification and enter the following information:
In the Summary panel, review the configurations that you made for the import job and click Finish.
