An asset model provides information to DOC4000 about a specific class of systems, such as Honeywell EPKS or Yokogawa Centum VP. DOC4000 provides many asset models to support a wide range of systems. DOC4000 also provides asset models for other types of assets, such as PAS Recon for Windows computers and PAS Network Devices for network switches and firewalls. New versions of these asset models may be released between DOC4000 releases and you can import these asset models as needed.

Product Models

Some asset models, referred to as product models, provide additional product features. If you are using these asset models, you should import the latest version of the following asset models when you upgrade DOC4000:

  • PAS Document Manager

  • PAS Generic File Manager

  • PAS Inventory Items

  • PAS Sensor Data Integrity

When you initially configure vulnerability and patch management, you automate the download and import of the latest PAS Vulnerability Management and PAS Patch Management asset models. Therefore, you do not need to manually import the latest version of these two asset models when you upgrade DOC4000.

Customer Models

A few asset models, referred to as customer models, provide features that can include customer-specific implementation details. Many of these asset models have file names with square brackets. If you import an updated version of these asset models, you can lose some of your implementation settings. When a new version of the following asset models is available, contact Technical Support to determine how to adjust your model:

  • PAS Maintenance

  • PAS Workflows

  • [PAS Integration]

The Asset models link on the Admin Utility window opens the Import Asset Models window, which allows you to import updated asset models that you have purchased. The Available asset model(s) list provides several columns to help you determine which asset models you have and what version is available:

  • Version: Indicates the availability of the asset model and what version is provided in the location specified in the Location field.

  • Imported: Indicates the version of any previously imported asset model.

To import asset models:

  1. On the Admin Utility - Welcome window, click Asset Models.

  2. Click Browse to locate the model files provided by PAS, or type the path to the asset models to import, such as InstallPath\DataCollector\Asset Models.

    The Data Collector cannot access files on mapped drives. Use only Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths.

  3. In the Available asset model(s) list, click a model to import, and then click the [>] button to move the asset model to the Asset model(s) to be imported list.

    Do not import the customer models previously listed, such as PAS Workflow and [PAS Baselines]. Importing PAS Workflow through the Admin Utility removes your workflow implementations. Contact Technical Support to guide you through the process of importing the new model, if needed, and maintaining your implementation settings.

  4. Click the Import button to import the files into DOC4000.

    After importing an asset model, check the MOC section in the Windows Event Viewer to verify that no errors occurred during the import. When using multiple database mode, clicking the Import button imports the model into all projects.

To launch the Windows Event Viewer:

  1. Click the Windows Start button, type Run, then press Enter.

  2. Type eventvwr then press Enter.

  3. In the left pane, expand Applications and Services Logs, and click DOC4000MOC to view the event log. Determine whether errors occurred from the time period associated with the asset model import.
