CnfgItemTypeIdentRule

Represents the definition of a rule used to identify whether a configuration item (CI) already exists in the CMDB or needs to be created as a new record. For example, an identification rule can check if an application server with the same host name and IP address already exists in CMDB. This object is available in API version 66.0 and later.

  • Description: The unique name of the object in the API. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. In managed packages, this field prevents naming conflicts on package installations. With this field, a developer can change the object’s name in a managed package and the changes are reflected in a subscriber’s organization. This field is automatically generated, but you can supply your own value if you create the record using the API. When creating large sets of data, always specify a unique DeveloperName for each record. If no DeveloperName is specified, performance may slow while Salesforce generates one for each record.
