Hi Experts,

Duplicate records getting created by the system very often in the Asset table. I have checked the transform maps, only sys_id is made Colaesce. Any idea why these duplicates getting created. Its really a stress to maintain Asset table.

Thanks for your reply.

When I further investigated, the child tables (Alm_asset & alm_hardware) had 2 records with same asset tag ‘LT10022112’ and I deleted the duplicate records. The record which I deleted earlier was removed from the parent table ‘cmdb_ci_hardware’. During next import system checked for the record in parent table, it couldn’t find it and so created a new record I believe.

Found one more thing, duplicate records are getting added in child tables, not in parent tables. So I have decided to compare both parent & child table delete the irrelevant record. Also update the coalesce field of Asset tag to true in the scheduled imports as a 2nd level filter. And see if it works.

 

Thanks,

Rini
