Managing consistency of CMDB data by using normalization

You can manage the data consistency of the CMDB datasets by a better understanding of the normalization process, and the normalization fail-over mechanism for scheduled batch jobs. Similarly, configuring the normalization settings for datasets enables a higher data reliability and fewer normalization failures. 

The following topics help you understand how to manage CMDB data consistency:

• Normalization process
• Normalization and the Product Catalog
• Overview of the normalization features
• Normalization failover for scheduled batch jobs
• Creating a normalization job
• Normalization best practices to achieve improved performance
• Normalization status
