View Link Rule Failure Results

You use the Asset Reconciliation Result tab in the Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) application to view link rule failure results.

A link rule is a required component of a reconciliation task. A link rule establishes the basis for reconciliation by identifying a top-level authorized IT asset object and attribute to link to a specific attribute of a deployed asset object. When the system processes a reconciliation task, it evaluates each link rule and attempts to match the authorized asset object and attribute defined in the rule with the deployed asset attribute defined in the rule. If the system finds a match, it displays the link result in the Asset Link Results (SP) application. If the system does not find a match or finds multiple matches, it displays link rule failures in the Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) application.

The Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) application displays both comparison rule results and link rule results. If you want to view only link rule failures, you can use the advanced search feature on the List tab to select only link results.

Note: For more information about using advanced search features, see Use More Search Fields.
