Data precedence rules in combination with Reconciliation rules

[Ed Laar]

Hi community,

Prior to the Paris release, Data Source Precedence rules were available. With these rules a priority on data sources able to affect CIs in a certain ci-class could be set. Nice feature was also that these Data Source Precedence rules were inherited towards child ci-classes so also valid for those child ci-classes.

Starting from Paris, these Data Source Precedence rules are replaced or better incorporated in the IRE Reconciliation rules and the Data Source Precedence rules became legacy. With these IRE Reconciliation rules data source priorities can be set on ci-class-attribute level what makes more sense in certain use-cases. Flipside of this is that IRE Reconciliation rules are NOT inherited towards child ci-classes so they should be repeated for every child ci-class.

Data Source Precedence rules are still available in the system although they are legacy. Does anyone has experience using these rules combined with IRE Reconciliation rules? Are the legacy rules still working? What if a legacy rule is applicable on a ci-class and also and IRE Reconciliation rule is applied?

Looking forward to responses.

Best regards,

Ed

Hi Ed,

The legacy rules still work (and are still inherited), but if you have both applicable to a CI Class, the IRE Reconsiliation rule will win.
