Solving the over merge issue
An over merge occurs when a few objects change their parent to the same model object. Child objects are then clustered around some number of parent objects.
- Run the over merges verification.
- Check the reported configuration items. Verification might incorrectly report them as over merges.
- Correct the configuration in environments that might be the cause of over merge. The configuration problems might include the same signature, serial number, VMID, and other CIs naming attributes.
- Remove the over merged objects from the TADDM database.
- Run a discovery on deleted objects, and validate the results.
- Remove all records from the ALIASES_JN table after solving any over merge problems.
