Abstract
Under the present invention an identifier for a computer system undergoing an IT migration is extracted from a pertinent field the record. Thereafter, a mapping table is consulted. The mapping table generally contains entries that associate computer system identifiers with identifiers of hardware components that have been installed (or are to be installed) in the computer systems. Using the computer system identifier extracted from the record, an associated hardware component identifier is determined from the mapping table, and automatically populated into a corresponding field (e.g., a hardware component field) of the record. Thus, the present invention avoids having to manually populate the hardware component identifier into the record.
