Hi Roger, it is a possible workaround. But I wouldn't say better, because if I could just tick the radio button or build up the things in the reconcillation engine is a difference. If I import in an other asset I also produce a lot of additional data. It should just update some fields of computersystem if they change in vendor form. Thanks, Tim

Can anybody give me some more details about the "Options" tab in the "CMDB Data Mappings"? I thought I just tick "yes" in the option "Update CDMB Data Only if Values Change". But for what I have to choose the "Check Digit Field"? I have entries there like "UsersAffected", "QuantityInStock" and other unknown field names. If I choose a ramdom field name or let the Digit Field empty I get an error message in the log that the attribute value is outside of the defined limit values. Cheers, Tim -------------------------------- In the remedy documentation I found the following information for the "Update CDMB Data Only if Values Change" option: Select a value for the Update CMDB Data Only if Values Change option. This option allows you to determine whether all mapped CMDB requests are updated when changes are detected in the vendor records during a data exchange, or whether updates are made to the individual requests that were modified in the vendor system since the last data exchange. If you select Yes, changes are only made to the individual records that were modified in the vendor system since the last data exchange, and the Check Digit field appears on the Options tab. In this case, select the name of a field from the Check Digits Field drop-down list. __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _____ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
