Exporting device history records to FDM

The history snapshot saved in FDC can be imported into FDM for record and audit purposes. This is

enabled by the standard Import/Export wizard in FDM. This way FDM allows synchronizing the

device configuration data through the MC Toolkit handheld.

To export device history from FDC and import it in FDM, perform the following steps.

1. Connect your MC Toolkit handheld to your computer as described earlier.

2. Browse to the folder on your computer, SD Card > FDC > Resources > History.

3. The FDC history records are named as per the following convention for the primary name:

DeviceTag_ManufacturerIDDeviceTypeDeviceRevisionDDRevision_DeviceID

4. Copy the desired Device History Record files (with .fdm extension) from the above mentioned

location to a temporary location on FDM Client computer.

5. Use FDM Import/Export wizard to import the history records into FDM. After you import

successfully:

• The snapshot would get imported into FDM database and appear as a history record for

the corresponding device in FDM.

• The Audit Trail entry for such a record identifies it as being imported through the MC

Toolkit handheld.

• If the device is not part of any of the FDM configured networks, it would appear under

‘Disconnected Devices’ in FDM network view.

• All operations allowed on Device History Record in FDM will be allowed for the record

imported through the MC Toolkit handheld.

Note: For more details on using FDM Import/Export feature, refer to section Importing and

Exporting Device History in FDM User’s Guide.
