Processor conversions establish standard naming conventions
for computer processors. You can create processor conversions, delete
processor conversions, review imported conversions, and add variants
to processor conversions.
Creating processor conversion records
You use the Processor Conversion application to define
a standard target processor name and to specify the variations of
that name to be converted to the target name when processor data for
deployed assets are displayed or reports are generated.
Deleting processor conversion records
You use the Processor Conversion application to delete
processor conversion records. Perform this task if you no longer want
processor names for deployed assets to be converted to the target
names specified in processor conversion records.
Reviewing imported processor conversion records
You use the Processor Conversion application to review
the processor conversion records that are created when processor data
are imported into the database. Review these records for consistency
with your naming conventions and edit them as necessary.
Adding variants to processor conversion records
You use the Processor Conversion application to add variants
to processor conversion records. A variant is a variation of a processor
name. The variant is converted to the target processor name specified
in the conversion record, and displayed in the Deployed Assets applications
and in reports.
Deleting processor variants
You use the Processor Conversion application to delete
processor variants from processor conversion records.
Moving processor variants
You use the Processor Conversion application to move processor
variants from one processor conversion record to another processor
conversion record.
Modifying target processor names
You use the Processor Conversion application to modify
target names in processor conversion records. You perform this action
when you want to change the names that display for processors in the
Deployed Assets applications and in reports.
