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.
Connect the MC Toolkit handheld to the computer as described earlier.
Browse to the folder on the computer, SD Card > FDC > Resources > History.
The FDC history records are named as per the following convention for the primary name:
DeviceTag_ManufacturerIDDeviceTypeDeviceRevisionDDRevision_DeviceID
Copy the desired Device History Record files (with .fdm extension) from the above mentioned
location to a temporary location on FDM Client computer.
Use FDM Import/Export wizard to import the history records into FDM. After imported
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
