Rule 2 – Enable CI Sync’s Split-Transform Feature

Rule Synopsis

These are the rule/s (or CI Sync feature) that causes CI Sync to vary the behaviour of other rules between a CI Insert Operation compared with a CI Update Operation.

Rule Details and Default

  • By default, CI Sync does not use split-transform. Instead, the rules and behaviour of CI Sync is the same for a CI Insert Operation and CI Update Operation.

  • While the default behaviour is as stated above (i.e. the same rules apply to insert and update operations), there are two pre-defined exceptions:

Exception 1 - The Discovery Source Attribute

Exception 2 - The Correlation ID Attribute and Correlation Prefix Value

Override Options

Context

Customers may consider adopting split-transforms to cater for processes/workflows (in your customer specific instance of ServiceNow) that require different data/behaviours between a CI Insert Operation comparted with a CI Update Operation.

Customers may also adopt split-transforms if they have multiple overlapping source data integrations inserting/updating CIs in their CMDB.

Options

  1. CI Sync can be enabled to use split-transforms. This feature is enabled in response to a customer requirement for different behaviours between CI insert and CI update operations. The different behaviours can span almost all other CI Sync Data Rules and therefore a Syncfish expert will consult extensively with customers before this feature is enabled and the various other data sync rules are amended.
