Reconciliation Tasks (SP) ApplicationReconciliation Tasks (SP) ApplicationNote: This application is part of the Reconciliation module. To learn to use the Reconciliation module, see the Reconciliation Module Implementation Guide in addition to this online help. The guide contains basic information about the reconciliation process and explains how to set up reconciliation tasks.
You use the Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application in the Reconciliation module to create, view, modify, duplicate, and delete reconciliation task records.
Reconciliation module applications let you evaluate data about information technology. You use Reconciliation module applications to configure a behind-the-scenes process that compares objects from one data set (Data Set 1) with objects in another data set (Data Set 2). The reconciliation process identifies successful matches as well as discrepancies and variances between the two sets of data. For more information about Reconciliation module data sets, see Reconciliation Module Data Sets.
To set up a reconciliation, you define a reconciliation task in the Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application. A reconciliation task combines the elements required for a reconciliation into a specific task that you schedule to run using the Cron Task Setup application.
A reconciliation task consists of three possible components: a task filter (optional), one or more link rules (required), and one or more comparison rules (optional). For more information about the components of a reconciliation task, see Reconciliation Task Components.
When you schedule a reconciliation task in the Cron Task Setup application, you must use the name specified in the Reconciliation Task field in the Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application to set up the cron task. The system lets you schedule cron task instances for multiple reconciliation tasks. You cannot delete reconciliation task records that are associated with a cron task. For additional information about running reconciliation tasks, see Setting Up a Reconciliation.
After the system processes a reconciliation task, you can view the results of the reconciliation. If you use Tivoli Asset Management for IT, your installation includes Asset Link Results (SP) and Asset Reconciliation Results (SP) applications. If you use Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB), your installation includes CI Link Results (SP) and CI Reconciliation Results (SP) applications. For more information about viewing results of a reconciliation, see Viewing Results of a Reconciliation.
You use the Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application to perform the following actions:
Create a new reconciliation task.
Delete a reconciliation task.
Duplicate a reconciliation task.
Modify an existing reconciliation task.
The Reconciliation Tasks (SP) application has the following tabs:
List: to search the system for tasks.
Reconciliation Task: to define new tasks and to view, edit, duplicate, and delete existing tasks.
