Purpose of Identification Rules (Identifiers)

Identifiers in CMDB 

Are used for  

  1. Update or Insert process by Discovery OR Integration (If IRE is enabled through script,IRE API) 
  2. Finding Duplicates 
    1. When the `Correctness Schedule Job` is executed, Identifiers are used to find duplicates 

Since Discovery determines Update & Insert using Identifiers, if the duplicates are getting created it implies that records are being created from other sources than Discovery (Manual entry, integration, data load etc) 

 

  • During the Correctness Job, the process/logic/code for finding the duplicate is OOB, based on Identifiers  
    • This logic cannot be changed 
    • Any link to source / code where the exact OOB logic is present? - >  

 

i.e., The Identifiers have two purpose ?? One used by IRE for update/insert and one for duplicate task creation,

Duplicate task will only be created when the `Correctness Schedule` Job runs ??
