Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset
Hi Roger, Thanks for the input. Do I need to setup a Manual Identification? How does this only merge a record if one exists? Thank you.

Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset
Merge uses the Recon ID to either merge or not merge an entry. If a new entry is added the automatic identification will give it a Recon ID, if the ehtry exists and the qualification works it get the recon ID of the existing CI. -Original Message- From: hornetload1 hornetlo...@gmail.com To: arslist arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Wed, Dec 12, 2012 7:42 am Subject: Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset **Hi Roger, Thanks for the input.

Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset
Thanks Roger. If the entry does not exist what happens? I believe an entry gets created as if it was a new record. However, I'd like the entry to NOT get created. How would we do that?

Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset
If you do not do the Auto Identify then the record will not get a Recon ID and will not be merged to BMC.ASSET. -Original Message- From: hornetload1 hornetlo...@gmail.com To: arslist arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Wed, Dec 12, 2012 8:33 am Subject: Re: NOT merging a new record into BMC.Asset **Thanks Roger.
