After using the Reconciliation module applications to define a reconciliation task, you can set up a cron task to process it.
Because reconciliation tasks process data imported into the system from external sources, you must exercise caution when scheduling reconciliation tasks. The timing of deployed asset data migration must be carefully coordinated with the reconciliation process. For example, do not attempt to reconcile data about deployed objects against authorized objects if you have not yet imported the deployed object data.
Scheduling is an important consideration because it affects the reliability of the data and the allocation of computer resources. If your organization uses the Software Suite Setup application to define software suites, run your cron task for software suites processing before you run your cron tasks for reconciliation. That way software suites are properly identified before reconciliation.
The high-level steps for scheduling and running your reconciliation-related cron tasks follow.
