Updating the Records in the ACS Internal Store

When you update the records in the ACS store, the import process overwrites the existing records in the internal store with the records from the .csv file. This operation replaces the records that exist in ACS with the records from the .csv files.

The update operation is similar to the add operation except for one additional column that you can add to the Update templates. The Update template can contain an Updated name column for internal users and other ACS objects, and an Updated MAC address column for the internal hosts. The Updated Name replaces the name.

Timesaver Instead of downloading the update template for each of the ACS objects, you can use the export file of that object, retain the header row, and update the data to create your update .csv file.

To add an updated name or MAC address to the ACS objects, you have to download and use the particular update template. Also, for the NDGs, the export template contains only the NDG name, so in order to update any other property, you must download and use the NDG update template.

For example, Figure 5-13shows a sample import file that updates existing user records.
