IH-ETL does not leverage IRE dynamically, agree?

[Suggy]

Hello,

If you have used IH-ETL to load CMDB data, do you agree on the below lines?

We know that IH-ETL uses IRE, but its actually we are configuring the CI identifiers as part of the Attribute mapping step in CMDB integration studio.

ie say for computer, OOB the CI identifiers are like this

and this is what we map in the in studio.

Now say you have 10 different IHETL's built.

Later assume want to use a compelte different set of CI identifiers. Then you need to open all the aove 10 IH-ETL's and do the remapping of new set of CI identifiers, where as, suppose if you had used something like CMDBTransformUtils() function like in Transform map, then no need to make changes to the transform maps because, you are just calling the CMDBTransformUtils() which inturn uses the IRE/CI identifiers. So no need of any rework here.

So leveraging of IRE in IH-ETL is not dynamic right?

Is there any solution easy updating of IH-ETL's when CI identifiers are modified?

You dont have to change anything in the ETL, just like transform maps you need add the field mapping and make sure you are sending the data for the IRE Attribute.

Yes if you have 10 ETLs (which is for a particular class), you have to edit all of them in case you modifu the CI identifier for that class 🙂
