Input Rejection

To reject input from an MDR before loading data into the CMDB, use the <reject> tag.

Example: Rejecting Input Data

The<reject tag> can be used with the <comparetype> tag, as shown in following example.

1. <ruleset>
2. <rule>
3. <attribute>name</attribute>
4. <from>test</from>
5. <comparetype>startswith</comparetype>
6. <reject>yes</reject>
7. </rule>
8. </ruleset>

When a reject rule is matched, the corresponding CI or relationship is rejected and the CMDB is not updated or created for that entire object. The transaction is skipped, and the XML is written to the _err file with an error message indicating that it was rejected.
