Before you can export data to an Altiris database, you must launch the JSS Conduit and set up an Altiris plug-in instance. This allows you to specify a source and destination for the data you plan to export.

If you have more than one JSS or Altiris database, you can set up multiple instances of the Altiris plug-in.

1. Open the JSS Conduit (JSSConduit.jar).

2. If prompted, enter credentials for a local administrator account and click OK.

3. Click Add (+) and choose "Altiris Plug-in" from the Plug-In pop-up menu.

4. Enter the URL of the JSS you want to export data from.
   The URL must include the correct protocol, domain, and port. It cannot end in a forward slash (/). For example:
   https://jss.mycompany.corp:8443

   

5. Enter credentials for a JSS user account.
   The account must have privileges to read computers and mobile devices.

6. Enter the DNS name or IP address of the server that hosts the Altiris database.

7. Enter credentials for a local administrator account on the server that hosts the Altiris database.
   This user must be a member of the "Symantec Administrators" group in Altiris.

8. Choose whether you want to export computers, mobile devices, or both to the Altiris database.

9. Click Save.

After setting up an Altiris plug-in instance, it appears in the main window of the JSS Conduit. For instructions on how to start exporting data, see “Exporting Data with the JSS Conduit” in the JSS Conduit User Guide.
