Dan I have set up the "Normalized" product in the product catalog, but not the alias. I had added the alias to the product name alias in the product catalog, thinking it might help, though there is no documentation to suggest this. Adding it to the normalization alias should be sufficient, yes? FYI, last night I did notice that the product name HAD normalized, but my attempts today with Manufacturer have not been successfull. From what I can tell, I need the data set and class set up for normalization, normalization alias for ModelName and/or Manufacturer, and a job for the dataset. I shouldn't need a product catalog or company alias. -- Chris Danaceau AttivaSoft Solutions Architect

Also, if it is the same as 7.5, once you have run the normalization job on the CI once, there is a hidden NormalizationStatus field that prevents the normalization from running again. You can make it "visible" with the Class Manager and then be able to modify it and try again. ....

Normalize one or more versions of a product name into a standard name. I created the product, a desktop (Optiplex 745), set up a model name normalization alias, and set up a normalization job for my personal sandbox in a 7.6 environment. After fixing an error that was logged because I hadn't set the product as "Approved," when I run my normalization job it completes w/o erroring on my CI instance (that has the alias model name) but it is not updating my product name as I expected. -- Chris Danaceau AttivaSoft Solutions Architect _attend WWRUG11 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _attend WWRUG11 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
