Your logic will not work since items in A should not be related to items in B. Each Data Set is independent and the merge is to move the data and relationships of one dataset into BMC.Asset. Then you do an ID job against BMC.Asset with the second dataset to get the same CI to get the right ReconID so that when you merge the second data set both the CI and relationships are merged.

I got ReconIDs auto generated for all my B CIs. Now I want to relate and merge only those that relate. Still can't figure it out.

I want to merge all of dataset A to BMC.ASSET but only those in dataset B that are related to CIs in A. So after my ID job I ran a relationship job that created HOSTEDSYSTEMCOMPONENT entries and filled in the SystemName field on B. Can I use that field now to restrict the merge on B? I tried setting up a merge job on B with one activity: merge source B to BMC.ASSET using the Default Merge Set. I then added a qualification on the class with 'SystemName' != $\NULL$ in the Qualification* field. When I run the job nothing happens. No records get copied to BMC.ASSET. Can I even do something like I am trying to do? Can I restrict a dataset merge in this way? Or do I have to merge everything?
