2. Is source recency timestamp field mapped?

 

If source recency timestamp field is mapped, IRE will only update records that have new timestamp value > old time stamp value. Please evaluate whether you need to map source recency timestamp field. If it is needed and mapped, please make sure new timestamp value > old time stamp value.

Make sure current domain value matches target CI record’s domain value

 

5. If source native key is provided, does each record has unique source native key value?

 

For example, if 2 CI records have the same source native key value, then IRE will merge those 2 CI records together which overwrites each other and cause data not inserting correctly. Please make sure each record has unique source native key value.
