Categories and Elements CSV File Requirements
The categories and elements CSV file defines the categories, their
associated elements, their type, and whether they apply to devices,
nodes or both.
All CATEGORY and CATEGORYELEMENT records are related. A
CATEGORY record must have one or more CATEGORYELEMENT
records.
CATEGORYELEMENT records can be present without a
corresponding CATEGORY record if that CATEGORY already exists
in CC-SG. For example, if you are adding more elements to an
existing category, then you do not have to include a row to redefine
the category that the new elements belong to.
Export a file from CC-SG to view the Comments, which include all
tags and parameters needed to create a valid CSV file. See
Export
Categories and Elements
(on page 46).
Follow the additional requirements for all CSV files. See
Common
CSV File Requirements
