CMDB Mapping Template for Asset-CMDB Sync
What's New?
Using the CMDB Mapping templates, data synchronization between the Asset Inventory and Configuration Management Database (CMDB) can be done easily. In these templates, field mapping is done based on the selected values of Asset Category and CMDB Classification. The user needs to map the Asset and CMDB fields including the Custom Attributes. The user can configure multiple templates by specifying the Asset Category, CMDB Classification, Import Type, and Sync For value. The user can use the available configured templates when an Asset is added, or Asset details are updated in the Asset Inventory or CI is added or CI details are updated in CMDB. The template-based synchronization saves time and synchronizes multiple Assets and CI attributes at a time.
UI Changes
The CMDB MAPPING page (Asset > Configuration > Mapping > CMDB Mapping) is enhanced with many new additional fields.

For more information, see Configuring CMDB Mapping Templates.
The Analysts can use configured templates while exporting Asset details to CMDB. For information, see Templates to Export Assets to CMDB.
Configuration
The job, Asset - CMDB Data Sync, should be configured on the CUSTOM SCHEDULER page. This job automates the Asset to CI or CI to Asset synchronization based on the values configured on the selected CMDB MAPPING template. For more information, see Custom Scheduler page.
