Reconciliation

Reconciliation is carried out as part of the TQL calculation on the adapter side. For reconciliation to occur, the CMDB side is mapped to a federated entity called reconciliation CIT.

Mapping. Each attribute in the CMDB is mapped to a column in the data source.

Although mapping is done directly, transformation functions on the mapping data are also supported. You can add new functions through the Java code (for example, lowercase, uppercase). The purpose of these functions is to enable value conversions (values that are stored in the CMDB in one format and in the federated database in another format).

Note

To connect the CMDB and external database source, an appropriate association must exist in the database. For details, see Prerequisites.
Reconciliation with the CMDB ID is also supported
Reconciliation with the Global ID is also supported.
