Unable to create reconciliation rule for CMDB fundamentals: Configure the CMDB (Quebec) Task 09: Configure Reconciliation Rule

Problem Description: 

Being part of the Cloud Dimensions CMDB implementation team, using CI Class Manager, you are tasked to update the Windows Server class with a reconciliation rule that achieves the following:

- Windows Server record in CMDB with discovery source LANDesk can be updated by discovery source LANDesk

- Windows Server record in CMDB with discovery source LANDesk can be updated by discovery source ServiceNow

- Windows Server record in CMDB with discovery source ServiceNow cannot be updated by discovery source LANDesk

This is what I have: 

find_real_file.png

The filter condition for LANDesk is discovery_source=LANDesk^discovery_source!=ServiceNow

What am I doing wrong?

I tried the proposed solution, but that didn't work either.

No filters needed, data sources takes precedence based on priority. so you can create the rule as below

This worked for me; reading through the thread it looks like there is no need for filter conditions or that the filter conditions aren't reading properly. A suggestion was to make sure to refresh your simulator page often as it tends to timeout and not work correctly.

 

there's a reply above that has the link, but I'll post it again:

It requires you to dig into a bit to find the real answer.

This way it worked for me and my task validation is successful

Hello I created the same 2 reconciliation rules with no filter and the task simulator failed I don't understand why.

Is there a bug? 

Thanks for your help
