Kathy, I know you mentioned in the past that in your environment, the developers for some insane reason, is moving data from IMPORT.TOPO to BMC.ASSET using backend DB scripts and NOT using the Recon engine. Because of this, it's hard for us to tell you what the impact of you purging IMPORT.TOPO will do. The reason is that we do not know what key fields these custom scripts are using or even how this is done.
In a normal environment, the Recon job OOB for Topology actually does delete the data from the dataset so you could just the purge job to delete all the data in IMPORT.TOPO and then resynchronize your application. This is one more reason your developers should reconsider using the Recon engine instead of custom scripts... Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.

What will happen if we delete all TOPO data and restart synchronization? When you have organs - is this considered corrupted data? -----Original Message----- From: Roger Justice <rjust2...@aol.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thu, Feb 25, 2010 12:20 pm Subject: Re: Discovery 1.6 Do you mean BMC.ASSET. If you data is corrupted you need to delete all existing data and do a new Sync. -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Morris <kathymorris...@aol.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thu, Feb 25, 2010 12:14 pm Subject: Discovery 1.6 ** We have synchronization errors. We have data in TOPO (with thousands of orphans) and data in CMDB.asset. One developer recommended deleting all the data in TOPO and resetting synchronization. If we did this could we break something? _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org <http://www.arslist.org/> Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ ********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments may contain Forest Laboratories, Inc. proprietary information that is privileged, confidential or subject to copyright belonging to Forest Laboratories, Inc.
