We are tying to add components in Altium Vault/Concord Pro through .csv files. This method is working for some categories, but not for all.
Solution Details
In the .xml file, make sure that the line that specifies the targeted server folder has the correct structure/full path (e.g. target folder is IC-CPU but there are couple folders above it <Folder>Components/IC/IC-CPU</Folder>.)- The tool and its supporting Java runtime folder (
JRE8) may be copied to and run in any location, including on a different networked machine to the one hosting Concord Pro. - The tool may need to be run with elevated (Administrator) privileges, depending on where it is located.
- The tool syntax is case sensitive, as are references in Server Templates and any configuration files used.
- The server folder that will be targeted by the import process must have an Item Naming Scheme defined.
- The component data transfer provided by the CSV Import tool is uni-directional only – from a CSV file to the target Concord Pro server.
