It can be time consuming in IBM Configuration Manager to add value after value to a list. The great news is that there is an easy way to import your lists from system CSV exports or spreadsheets. All we need to do is generate an XML file similar to the following format for all the values and hey presto Bob’s your Uncle!
<valueList>
<value sortIndex=”3″>
<!–[CDATA[value3]]>
<!–[CDATA[This is the third item in the list.]]>
<!–[CDATA[3]]>
</value>
<value sortIndex=”1″>
<!–[CDATA[value0]]>
<!–[CDATA[This is the first item in the list.]]>
<!–[CDATA[0]]>
</value>
<value sortIndex=”2″>
<!–[CDATA[value2]]>
<!–[CDATA[This is the second item in the list.]]>
<!–[CDATA[2]]>
</value>
</valueList>
