How to Enable Attribute Name Verification during the Matching Phase of Identification

The reconciliation.match.attributes JMX setting verifies names of attributes during the matching phase of the identification process. If, compared to the other CI, there is a different value among the CI attribute values defined in this setting, the verification process stops and the match is rejected.

Only the attributes that are inherited from the Managed Object should be used in this setting (for example, global_id and name). Names of the attributes specified in the setting should be separated by comma.

This setting applies only to CIs that are identified based on the Identification Rule.

The following example explains how this setting works:

• If you have two node CIs:

  • Node1 with global_id=g1 and name=n

  • Node2 with global_id=g2 and name=n

  • reconciliation.match.attributes set to global_id

  This scenario will result in the two nodes not matching.

• If Node1 does not have global_id set, the two CIs will match.

To enable this setting, do the following:

1. Go to JMX Console > UCMDB:service=Settings Services > setSettingValue.
2. In the name field, enter reconciliation.match.attributes.

3. In the value field, enter names of the CI attributes, separated by comma.

   Note: To disable this setting, leave the value field empty.

4. Click Invoke.
