I would highly recommend building a dev environment. Setting up reconciliation jobs is not necessarily an easy task and is very error prone.
Also, depending on how Discovery gets data into your production database, you may be able to have it feed both environments. If Remedy is pulling data (using AIE to transfer the data) into production, you can simply set up the same AIE jobs on your dev server for it to copy the same data into that environment. If, however, Discovery is pushing data into Remedy (less likely) then you'd have to look for other options. In fact, one other option might be to configure AIE to actually pull CI data from production...

I need to create RE jobs. Is it better to copy BMC.ASSET into separate dataset, and run the RE job against the dataset copy to testing purposes. Or should we build a separate DEV environment and create the RE job? We also have only 1 Discovery Server that is connected to Production. So the CMDB development server would not receive any asset updates from the Discovery tool. _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
