Differences Between Push and Population Mapping

Although both push and population mapping files have the same underlying XML schema, the files have slightly different interpretations. For more information, see Generic Adapter XML Schema Reference.

In the following push mapping example, the interpretation is: take the results of the “Computer Push” TQL query (run in UCMDB) and present in the Root tree structure, and create the amComputer entity which will later on be sent to AM.

In the following population mapping example, the interpretation is: take the results of the “Nodes Population” TQL query (run in the external system) and present in the PC tree structure, and create the UCMDB Root entity (of type Node; as indicated by the TQL query), which will later be added in UCMDB.
