You have most of the concept. No you cannot go into the TOPO dataset
and set the entry as marked as deleted since the TOPO API call was not
written to allow for this to work. I have worked with the RE since
version 2.0 and have not had any problems. I would impress on the
developer that you are working with that BMC Support will not support
the population by scripts and when they want to upgrade to Atrium Core
7.5 or later and want to use the normalization engine they will have
more problems.

I know TOPO is populated from Discovery and bmc.asset is the gold set.
My question is - can the developer open TOPO and set assets
to MarkAsDelete directly?
My understanding is that TOPO is updated directly from the discovery
and I would not go into TOPO to set the assets as MarkAsDeleted,
however I was just wondering if I misunderstanding something here. And
now we are receving several of these errors: "cannot set to as
Markasdeleted to "NO" on the relationship instance because of the
relationship endpoints are MarkAsDeleted.
Are we getting this error because we are doing something wrong?
The developer I work with does not want to use reconcilation because
his scripts are doing the job and he said the reconcilation did not
work for them.

The golden dataset is BMC.ASSET. The dataset that Discovery populates
is called TOPO or something similar. Since you are not using the RE you
are not using CMDB as designed and it may not be possible toi fix this
issue. Is there a reason that you are not using the RE.

Is it OK to manually mark assets as deleted in the topology dataset?
Are you saying the source dataset is bmc.asset? If yes, should we
delete these assets that are MarkedAsDeleted from bmc.asset?

If you were using the RE a purge Job would fix this problem since it
would remove the assets from the source dataset that are marked as
deleted in the BMC.Asset dataset.

Hi All,
A co-worker is manually going into the topology dataset and marking
assets as deleted.. During synchronization, we are getting errors that
say "cannot set to as Markasdeleted to "NO" on the relationship
instance because of the relationship endpoints are MarkAsDeleted.
Why are we getting these errors? Are these manual updates causing
this? Also we are not using the reconcilation engine. Scripts push
the data from Topology to bmc.asset. ( I know this is ridiculous).
