- Testing
- Logging
- [Error Codes](#error codes)
This tool provides functionality to allow the import of call data from a Supportworks 7.x or 8.x instance in to Hornbill Service Manager.
The following tasks are carried out when the tool is executed:
- Supportworks call data is extracted as per your specification, as outlined in the Configuration section of this document;
- New requests are raised on Service Manager using the extracted call data and associated mapping specifications;
- Supportworks call diary entries are imported as Historic Updates against the new Service Manager Requests;
- Attachments to Supportworks Call Diary Entries are imported against their appropriate Historic Updates within Service Manager;
- Call attachments that are not related to Call Diary Entries are attached to the relevant Service Manager request;
- Call attachments of type SWM (Supportworks Mail) are decoded and stored as plain text attachments against the Service Manager request or Historic Update as appropriate.
Importing Supportworks call data and associated file attachments will consume your subscribed Hornbill storage. Please check your Administration console and your Supportworks data to ensure that you have enough subscribed storage available before running this import.
When running the import tool, after the call records are imported, you will receive a warning before importing the associated call file attachments. Please take note of the information presented, as this will inform you the amount of Hornbill storage space you have available to your instance, and the approximate amount that will be consumed should you continue with the file attachment import.
- Download the archive containing the import executables
- Extract zip into a folder you would like the application to run from e.g.
C:\sw_call_import\ - Open '''conf.json''' and add in the necessary configuration
- Open Command Line Prompt as Administrator
- Change Directory to the folder containing the extracted files
C:\sw_call_import\ - Run the command relevant to the computer you are running this on:
- goSWRequestImport.exe -dryrun=true

- "InstanceId" - The case-sensitive ID of the Hornbill Instance to import requests to
- "UserName" - Instance User Name with which the tool will log the new requests
- "Password" - Instance Password for the above User
The address of the Supportworks Server. If this tool is to be run on the Supportworks Server, then this should be set to localhost.
This is the location of the Supportworks Call File Attachment Store.
Contains the connection information for the Supportworks cache database (sw_systemdb).
- "Driver" the driver to use to connect to the sw_systemdb database:
- swsql = Supportworks 7.x SQL (MySQL v4.0.16). Also supports MySQL v3.2.0 to <v5.0
- mysql = MySQL Server v5.0 or above, or MariaDB (Supportworks v8+)
- "UserName" Username for a user that has read access to the SQL database from the location of the tool
- "Password" Password for above User Name
Contains the connection information for the Supportworks application database (swdata).
- "Driver" the driver to use to connect to the database that holds the Supportworks application information:
- swsql = Supportworks 7.x SQL (MySQL v4.0.16). Also supports MySQL v3.2.0 to <v5.0
- mysql = MySQL Server v5.0 or above, or MariaDB (Supportworks v8+)
- mssql = Microsoft SQL Server (2005 or above)
- "Server" The address of the SQL server
- "UserName" The username for the SQL database
- "Password" Password for above User Name
- "Port" SQL port (5002 if the data is hosted on the Supportworks server)
- "Encrypt" Boolean value to specify whether the connection between the script and the database should be encrypted. ''NOTE'': There is a bug in SQL Server 2008 and below that causes the connection to fail if the connection is encrypted. Only set this to true if your SQL Server has been patched accordingly.
Integer value 0 or 1, to determine the customer type for the records being imported:
- 0 - Hornbill Users
- 1 - Hornbill Contacts
A string, to specify the Profile Code seperator character in use on your Service Manager instance. By default this is a :
The SQL query to run to return request associations from Supportworks, to allow associated imported requests to be linked in Service Manager. The output of the SQL query needs to consist of the following columns:
- parentRequest : holds the Supportworks request reference of the parent request
- childRequest : holds the Supportworks request reference of the child request
The query to retrieve call diare entries, used when importing historic call update. The default value is below. where [sourceref] will be replaced by the Supportworks call reference number by the tool:
SELECT updatetimex, repid, groupid, udsource, udcode, udtype, updatetxt, udindex, timespent FROM updatedb WHERE callref = [sourceref]
A JSON array of objects that contain request-type specific configuration.
- Description - a string that allows you to describe the current request type object within the array. This is not used by the tool, so can contain any text string.
- Import - boolean true/false. Specifies whether the current class section should be included in the import.
- CallClass - specifies the Service Manager request class that the current Conf section relates to.
- SupportworksCallClass - specifies the call class of the Supportworks requests being imported. Only used in the logging and display output of the tool, the actual Supportworks request class for each import should be defined in the query contained within the SQLStatement parameter.
- DefaultTeam - If a request is being imported, and the tool cannot verify its Support Group, then the Support Group from this variable is used to assign the request.
- DefaultPriority - If a request is being imported, and the tool cannot verify its Priority, then the Priority from this variable is used to escalate the request.
- DefaultService - If a request is being imported, and the tool cannot verify its Service from the mapping, then the Service from this variable is used to log the request.
- SQLStatement - The SQL query used to get call (and extended) information from the Supportworks application data.
- CoreFieldMapping - The core fields used by the API calls to raise requests within Service Manager, and how the Supportworks data should be mapped in to these fields.
- Any value wrapped with [] will be populated with the corresponding response from the SQL Query
- Any Other Value is treated literally as written example:
- "h_summary":"[itsm_title]", - the value of itsm_title is taken from the SQL output and populated within this field
- "h_description":"Supportworks Incident Reference: [oldCallRef]\n\n[updatetxt]", - the request description would be populated with "Supportworks Incident Reference: ", followed by the Supportworks call reference, 2 new lines then the call description text from the Supportworks call.
- Any Hornbill Date Field being populated should have an EPOCH value passed to it. This includes h_datelogged, h_dateresolved and h_dateclosed. -"h_dateclosed":"[closedatex]", - opencall.closedatex is used in Supportworks to hold the date a request will come off hold. This must be populated if you are importing requests in an On-Hold status.
- Core Fields that can resolve associated record from passed-through value:
- "h_site":"[site]", - When a string is passed to the site field, the script attempts to resolve the given site name against the Site entity, and populates the request with the correct site information. If the site cannot be resolved, the site details are not populated for the request being imported.
- "h_fk_user_id":"[cust_id]", - As site, above, but resolves the original request customer against the users or contacts within Hornbill.
- "h_ownerid":"[owner]", - As site, above, but resolves the original request owner against the analysts within Hornbill.
- "h_category_id":"[probcode]", - As site, above, but uses additional CategoryMapping from the configuration, as detailed below.
- "h_closure_category_id":"[fixcode]", - As site, above, but uses additional ResolutionCategoryMapping from the configuration, as detailed below.
- "h_ownerid":"[owner]", - As site, above, but resolves the original request owner against the analysts within Hornbill.
- "h_fk_team_id":"[suppgroup]", - As site, above, but uses additional TeamMapping from the configuration, as detailed below.
- "h_fk_priorityid":"[priority]", - As site, above, but uses additional PriorityMapping from the configuration, as detailed below.
- AdditionalFieldMapping - Contains additional columns that can be stored against the new request record. Mapping rules are as above.
Allows for the mapping of Priorities between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Priorities from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Priorities from Hornbill that should be used when escalating the new requests.
Allows for the mapping of Support Groups/Team between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Support Group ID's (not the Group Name!) from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Team names from Hornbill that should be used when assigning the new requests.
Allows for the mapping of Problem Profiles/Request Categories between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Profile Codes (not the descriptions!) from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Profile Codes (again, not the descriptions!) from Hornbill that should be used when categorising the new requests.
Allows for the mapping of Resolution Profiles/Resolution Categories between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Resolution Codes (not the descriptions!) from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Resolution Codes (again, not the descriptions!) from Hornbill that should be used when applying Resolution Categories to the newly logged requests.
Allows for the mapping of Services between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Service names from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Services from Hornbill that should be used when raising the new requests.
Allows for the mapping of Request Statuses between Supportworks and Hornbill Service Manager, where the left-side properties list the Status IDs from Supportworks, and the right-side values are the corresponding Status IDs from Hornbill that should be used when importing the requests.
- file - Defaults to
conf.json- Name of the Configuration file to load - dryrun - Defaults to
false- Set to True and the XMLMC for new request creation will not be called and instead the XML will be dumped to the log file, this is to aid in debugging the initial connection information. - debug - Defailts to
false- set to true to increase debug logging output - concurrent - defaults to
1. This is to specify the number of requests that should be imported concurrently, and can be an integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive). 1 is the slowest level of import, but does not affect performance of your Hornbill instance, and 10 will process the import much more quickly but could affect performance. - custorg - defaults to
false- When set totrue, the company and organisation mappings will be ignored, and the tool will use the Contacts Organisation (if the customer is of type Contact (1)), or the Users Home Organisation (if the customer is of type User (0)), when logging the requests
If you run the application with the argument dryrun=true then no requests will be logged - the XML used to raise requests will instead be saved in to the log file so you can ensure the data mappings are correct before running the import.
'goSWRequestImport.exe -dryrun=true'
All Logging output is saved in the log directory in the same directory as the executable the file name contains the date and time the import was run 'SW_Call_Import_2015-11-06T14-26-13Z.log'
