Chris, What you are looking for is located on the actual dataset you are including into the activity. Using your image as a reference, what you are looking for is in the "Dataset Configuration" which is a list of the participating datasets in this activity. Each dataset that is included in this activity is allowed to Auto ID which means, if I don't find a matching CI in the production dataset using the criteria I specify, generate a Reconciliation ID. Uncheck the check box under "Generate IDs" in that row and new CI's to the environment will not get a Reconciliation ID generated. The check box you show would not be something you want to enable.

I tried unchecking it and my new test record was still given a Reconciliation ID. Perhaps it needs some more time before testing?

You can however pursue the option you suggest in your last sentence. In your recon jobs you can have identification run but not "auto-identify" records that do not match in the source dataset. The merge activity will only "promote" identified records. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Danaceau, Chris Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2013 1:12 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG<mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Subject: How can I limit AIE exchanges to existing CMDB records? ** I want to limit records from a source that I bring into the CMDB to just those that match on the key attribute (in this case serial number). Can this be done with a data key or update query? Currently my model is to bring this data into its own data set. Should I instead target a data set thats a copy of production? My goal is to not create new records from my source, but only to update existing CMDB records. If there's an option to do it with the Reconciliation engine I'm open to that as well. -- Thank You, Chris Danaceau FINRA Confidentiality Notice: This email, including attachments, may include non-public, proprietary, confidential or legally privileged information.
