The Reconciliation module includes two applications that let you view the results of a reconciliation: a link results application and a reconciliation results application. The applications that let you view results of a reconciliation are specific to the software that you purchase. The license key associated with your software determines which link results and which reconciliation results application your system displays.
If you use Tivoli Asset Management for IT, your installation includes Asset Link Results and Asset Reconciliation Results applications.
If you use Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB), your installation includes CI Link Results and CI Reconciliation Results applications.
Use the appropriate link results application to view all successful one-to-one links between a top-level object in Data Set 1 and an object in Data Set 2. A successful link means that a link rule in a reconciliation task matched a top-level object in Data Set 1 with a top-level object in Data Set 2.
Use the appropriate reconciliation results application to view link failures and the results of comparison rule evaluations.
Link Rule Failures – A link failure occurs when the system processes a link rule and does not find a successful one-to-one link between the object in Data Set 1 and the object in Data Set 2. Link failures occur when the reconciliation process finds no links or finds multiple links.
Comparison Rule Results – Authorized users can view results from comparison rule evaluations. Based on parameters set up in the Reconciliation Tasks application, the system provides one of the following result sets:
all results, both successful and failed matches
instances where the object from Data Set 1 failed to reconcile against the object from Data Set 2
instances where the object from Data Set 1 successfully matched the object from Data Set 2
