You can do this, however by definition the name "attribute" in the CMDB is not unique. The dataset and reconciliation identity is the unique identifier for rows in CMDB datasets. If you still intend on moving forward with this approach, add the dataset ID and use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the name of the CI.

I am planning to make 'Name' field as unique for all my CIs in my organization, do you see any challenges here? Please share how you structured your CMDB data in your organization? I am not able to find much help to maintain unique CIs in my organization. Kindly share your ideas _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
