To create a physical breakdown from an ASCII file

You can create a physical breakdown from an ASCII file in the Create Physical Breakdown Structure from ASCII-File (tscfg2210m100) session.

Note
  • The service items do not have to exist in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session. LN creates the service items.
  • The serialized items do not have to exist in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. LN creates the serialized items.
