CMDB Simulator Task 09: Configure Reconciliation Rule

I have been working through the self-paced CMDB Fundamentals course on NowLearning, I am stuck on the Configure the CMDB Simulator (Rome) > Task 09: Configure Reconciliation Rule.

It appears i may not be understanding something simple or there just isn't enough information given (which might be rather unlikely).

The requirement states:

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 ServiceNow

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

 

I have made rules where servicenow has priority over landesk to update all attributes where discovery source is servicenow OR landesk

I have created rules where landesk has priority over servicenow to update all attributes where discover source is NOT landsek.

I have taken each bullet above literally and made a rule specifically for what each says.

I have spent a total of almost three hours on this one simple little thing coming up with rules for everything in between and including the above. nothing appears to validate correctly. I don't know what i'm missing.

 

Can someone help me out. I don't necessarily want the answer, just help understanding what requirements are asking.

Hello,

 

May I seek help with Task #09. I already did the following but to no avail. Hope you could check. Thank you!

HI, 

 

I created 2 rules and was able to validate them as well.

both have service now with the highest priority.

 the first rule selected applies to all attributes.

selected the Ram in the second one.

 

Hope this helps.😀

The answer here was generally an esoteric thought. Basically, provide no condition value. 

Set Discovery ServiceNow : 100

Set Discovery LANDesk: 200
