Configuration Discovery Integration for CMDB filter and import process

After you run discovery on an endpoint, you import the new and revised records, as well as those marked for deletion, to datasets in BMC Atrium CMDB. After you import the data to the import dataset and run the Normalization Engine, you use the Reconciliation Engine to compare and merge the discovered configuration data with the production dataset.

As introduced earlier, data in BMC Atrium CMDB can be discovered by multiple providers. If the same data is discovered by multiple providers, the data from the preferred source populates the BMC Asset dataset.
