Asset Reconciliation Result Tab

You use the Asset Reconciliation Result tab in the Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) application to perform the following tasks:

view reconciliation results
mark reconciliation results as resolved after you evaluate and resolve discrepancies between an authorized asset and a deployed asset.
delete reconciliation results

The system generates a reconciliation result when it executes a reconciliation task to compare a top-level authorized asset with a deployed asset. For more information about the kinds of results displayed, see Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) Application.

The application displays the following information for each reconciliation result record:

Reconciliation Task – unique identifier of the reconciliation task that produced the result. You can use the Detail Menu in this field to navigate to the Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application.
Result Type – type of results displayed (either link rule failures or comparison rule results).
Rule Name – name of the rule that generated the result. If multiple rules exist and the system found no matches for any of the rules, it leaves this field blank. You can use the Detail Menu in this field to navigate to the application that created the rule displayed, either the Link Rules (SP) application or the Comparison Rules (SP) application.
Created Date – date and time the reconciliation result record was created.
Message – message that describes the result of the reconciliation.
Resolved? – check box that specifies whether discrepancies found by this comparison rule have been resolved. You can edit this field.
Comments – comments that describe how discrepancies were resolved. You can edit this field.
Customer – the customer associated with the reconciliation task. The results are shown for a reconciliation task that processed only the assets associated with this customer. If there is no customer specified, the results are shown for a reconciliation task that processed only the assets not associated with a customer.
Top-Level Asset – unique identifier of the top-level authorized asset that the system compared to the deployed asset. You can use the Detail Menu in this field to navigate to the Assets (SP) application.

Deployed Asset – unique database identifier of the deployed asset. You can use the Detail Menu in this field to navigate to the Computers (SP) application, Network Devices (SP) application, or Network Printers (SP) application.

Node – node name for the deployed asset

The Authorized Asset Information table window displays the following information about the authorized asset evaluated:

Asset Object – authorized Asset object
Asset Attribute – authorized Asset attribute
Asset Value – value for the authorized Asset attribute
Asset Unit of Measure – unit of measurement for the authorized Asset attribute
Top Level Site – site of the top-level authorized asset evaluated
Asset – GUID (globally unique identifier) that identifies the Asset. You can use the Detail Menu in this field to navigate to the Assets (SP) application.

The Deployed Asset Information table window displays the following information about the deployed asset evaluated;

Deployed Asset Object – deployed asset object
Deployed Asset Attribute – deployed asset attribute
Deployed Asset Value – value for the deployed asset attribute
Deployed Asset Unit of Measure – unit of measurement for the deployed asset attribute
Deployed Asset Key Field – key field for the deployed asset
Deployed Asset Key Value – value for the key field of the deployed asset

In some cases, fields displayed on the Asset Reconciliation Result tab are empty. For example, if a rule contains multiple clauses and more than one clause fails to find a match, the system does not arbitrarily select one of the results; instead it leaves the fields empty. The application displays the maximum amount of unambiguous information available.

For information about a field, place the cursor in the field and press Alt+F1.
