For this procedure, in Management Agent Designer, on the
Delimited Text Format page, Management Agent Designer
automatically detects the format of the delimited template input
file that you select. If Management Agent Designer incorrectly
determines the format, you can change it on this page. You can also
specify additional parameters. This page is displayed only when you
create a new management agent. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISAdmins security group.
To confirm delimited text file format
In Management Agent Designer, on the Delimited Text
Format page, verify that the input file is in delimited file
format. If the tool has incorrectly determined the file format,
click Back, and then verify the selected template input
file.
To use names in the first row as header names, select the
Use first row for header names check box.
Notes
If you do not select the Use first row for header names
check box, Management Agent Designer assigns a name to each
attribute that you can edit.
The following delimiters are valid: comma, semicolon, colon,
vertical bar, and tab. If necessary, you can specify a different
delimiter. The text qualifier is typically a quotation mark, but
you can use a single quotation mark if the tool incorrectly
determines the text qualifier.
Multiple-value attributes and their header names must be in
sequential order. A delimited field with any attribute cannot
appear between delimited fields that compose a single
multiple-value attribute. The following is an example of a valid
delimited file format containing a single multiple-value attribute
(Phone) composed of two delimited fields (Phone, Phone).
