Bulk Asset move (from one location to another) using file upload

From: handsomeh (2012-02-10 19:35)

Hi,
I want to upload a .csv file with asset data and this file will contain new location for the asset which is already associated with a location in Maximo. I would like to do this using MIF (Integration framework).. So I will upload a .csv file and Maximo should update assets location as per the file.
will Maximo allow me to this just by standard integration related configuration and uploading the file
OR
do I have to use any java class file/processing class etc. to enable this asset move ?
While doing this manually i would have to perform a select action for "Move/Modify Asset" and Maximo will keep history of the movement so I am a bit doubtful whether Maximo will allow me to do this without introducing any processing class ...!!
Any ideas to make this happen will be very helpful..
Thanks..

This really changes based on the version you are running. In 7.5 the wayt to do this would be the application import. Since this is run through the business rules I would suspect that the application import would create that history. But as always test on a development enviroment first.
