If you are using AIE, it does the heavy lifting for you to start with. AIE will set the “MarkAsDeleted” attribute to true in the discovery dataset when the CI no longer exists on the source. How you implement that going forward is up to how you implemented your asset lifecycle management. You can delete them right away by using a purge activity in a recon job which will remove it from the production dataset. Entirely up to you.

Any idea when AIE is being retired? I can load the data through AIE, so is I assume there is a way in AIE to build logic so that if the CI is no longer in SCCM during the last scan, we can remove this CI's from the dataset in the CMDB. Is this a difficult task to do? The team has the Seamless Data Pump and are going to replace it. Through experience, the Remedy Developer ends up working with the Seamless Pump to some degree also for troubleshooting, log analysis, and resolving any technical issues. ** I would suggest using Atrium Integrator rather than AIE. You didn’t mention what version of ARS and ITSM you are on but since AIE is basically being retired you may want to go ahead and get familiar with AI. I haven’t tried it since 7.6.4 just came out, and it mostly worked then but I imagine it’s completely functional now. For the record, we’re investigating the Seamless Data Pump (who I believe is owned by someone else now.) One of the main benefits to us is that it makes a separation of duties easier. If we used AI or AIE then not only do we (the Remedy team) have to maintain the software, but also the mappings, the normalization, etc. With this, we have sort of neutral ground and they provide basically normalization mapping spreadsheets so the users can do it themselves for their Product data so they can do license management.

Would it be better to use AIE, or a script, write a program to bring the computer system, software, processor, Network devices, etc...into the CMDB. I do not want to use any third party tools like the Seamless Connector, so I was curious if any other companies have come up with any good solutions that brings the data from SCCM into the CMDB. _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
