Use the Asset Reconciliation Results application to view
link rule failure results.
About this task
A
link rule is a required component of a reconciliation
task. A link rule establishes the basis for reconciliation. It identifies
a top-level authorized IT asset object and attribute for linking to
a specific attribute of a deployed asset object. When the system processes
a reconciliation task, it evaluates each link rule. It attempts to
match the authorized asset object and attribute, defined in the rule,
with the deployed asset attribute, also defined in the rule. If the
system finds a match, it displays the link result in the Asset Link
Results application. If the system does not find a match or finds
multiple matches, it displays link rule failures in the Asset Reconciliation
Results application.
The Asset Reconciliation Results application
displays both comparison rule results and link rule results. To view
only link rule failures, you can Advanced Search on
the List tab to select only link results.
The steps for viewing
link rule failure results follow.
