Define System Model Normalization Rules

Important! Normalization rules apply to all tenants and public data that are associated with a service provider. Verify that the user completing this task belongs to a role in which reconciliation management access is enabled.

You can define system model normalization rules that are applied during the matching process whenever the reconciliation rule contains asset matching criteria. Any asset matching criterion that contains system model information automatically applies the system model normalization rules.

When you map a collected nonauthoritative system model to a normalized authoritative system model, the nonauthoritative system model becomes subordinate to the authoritative system model in the normalization rule. The subordinate system model no longer appears in the Collected System Model list. If you delete the normalization rule that contains the subordinate system model, the subordinate system model returns to nonauthoritative status and appears in the Collected System Model list.

To define system model normalization rules

1. Click Directory, List Management.
2. On the left, expand Normalization and select System Model Normalization.

   The discovered collected system model name and manufacturer name values and the normalized system model name and manufacturer name values appear.

3. If the term you want to use as the normalized value does not appear in the Normalized System Model list or the Collected System Model list, click New System Model to add the system model, and then repeat the previous steps.
4. Map the Collected System Model list discovered values to a Normalized System Model value.

   The list of system model normalization rules is defined and is referenced during the reconciliation process.
