How to Install Eaton Brightlayer Extension Generic CSV Integration - Perpetual

• Prepare your environment: Confirm you have a valid perpetual license for the CSV Integration Extension and verify that your Eaton Brightlayer DITPM/DCPM deployment is running on a compatible version. Review your CSV data sources and ensure they can export data in the required format, including the necessary header names and field types.
• Acquire and deploy the extension: Access the official Eaton software portal or extension manager to obtain the Generic CSV Integration Extension. Follow the installation wizard to add the extension to your Brightlayer environment, noting any prerequisites such as required runtime components or permissions.
• Configure data mappings: Open the extension’s configuration panel and set up the CSV field mappings. Align each CSV column with the corresponding DITPM/DCPM data field, including identifiers, timestamps, metrics, and any unit conversions. Save mappings and validate that the extension can locate sample CSV files.
• Connect data sources: Point the extension to your third‑party CSV sources. This may involve scheduling automatic exports from external systems or placing CSV files in a monitored directory. Ensure that file naming conventions, delimiters, and encoding match the extension’s expectations to prevent import errors.
• Run tests and validate data flow: Execute a test run to verify that CSV data is correctly ingested into DITPM/DCPM and that dashboards reflect the new data. Review logs for any mapping mismatches, timestamp discrepancies, or data type issues. Tweak mappings and re‑test until results are stable.
• Establish ongoing operations: Schedule regular CSV exports from your third‑party applications and set up automated checks to alert on failed imports or data gaps. Document the configuration for future maintenance and align it with your change management processes.
