Entities are not being tied to Entity Class, despite being defined at the Entity Filter level

[Noelinho1]

Hi Community,

I noticed a weird thing with Entity Scoping (perhaps it's just me or it's a SN nuance)...

1. I created an Entity Class called 'SOX Infrastructure' 

2. I created an Entity Type called 'SOX Applications' and in the 'Entity Filter', I build my own conditions and set the conditions to associate the entities to the 'Entity Class' as defined in #1

However, after the entities are generated, I noticed that none of them are being tied to the Entity Class I defined in #1 above. Is that normal? 

PS: I am being a bit lazy and haven't actually checked this out in my PDI so apologies in advance.

Hi @Noelinho1 ,

Few things to check :

1. The Table which you are using on your filter condition , does that very table has any records ?

2. After you applied the filter condition, you can see the number of entity records, so does it shows any records after you applied the condition?

3. Did you try chnaging the Filter condition?

Hi @Community Alums  - thanks for responding..

1. Yes the table has records - it is the cmdb_ci_appl table

2. I do the number of entities load in but the Entity Class for some reason is not being factored in. I have to manually open each entity and associate it to the Entity Class

3. I have been playing around with and thus far no dice.

Do you have the Entity Class rule created for the table "cmdb_ci_appl" table?

@rajeeshraj hmmm I don't think so but now you've given me something else to poke around in. I'll report back ASAP. Thanks for responding!
