Viewing link rule failure results

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.
