Migrate Hardware Reconciliation Tasks and Rules

The hardware reconciliation process involves the following steps:

1. Establish data normalization rules to map data values between discovery repositories and the product.
2. Define a reconciliation rule to specify how to limit the data being processed and how to process the records that were found.

   Note: The reconciliation rules in this step replace the Release 11.3.4 reconciliation tasks. You create reconciliation rules that are based on the Release 11.3.4 tasks from the Main Task Query Report and the Task Add Asset Report, during the manual migration.

3. (Optional) Define reconciliation update options to specify the owned-asset fields that you want the Hardware Reconciliation Engine to update automatically with changes found in the corresponding discovered assets.
4. Define asset matching criteria to match owned and discovered assets for a reconciliation rule.
5. View the reconciliation results in the message queue.

Use the Main Task Query Report and Task Add Asset Report data during the manual migration of tasks to reconciliation rules.

Follow these steps:

1. Follow the instructions for defining reconciliation rules in the Define a Reconciliation Rule section of the Administration Guide.
2. Use the information in the Main Task Query Report and Task Add Asset Report to create the reconciliation rules.
