| Description |
<span style = 'font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; color: #4a4a4a;'>Controls how identification processes a small set of duplicate CIs. When true: If the number of duplicate CIs is less than the threshold specified by glide.identification_engine.skip_duplicates.threshold, then one of the duplicate CIs is picked as a match and gets updated. For the rest of the duplicate CIs, the cmdb_ci's duplicate_of field is set to the appropriate master CI. When false: Matching a CI fails, and an error is logged.<ul style='margin: 0px; padding-left:15px;'><li>Type: Yes | No</li><li>Default: Yes</li></ul></span> |

... to weak identification rules. You can configure the identification engine to reconcile duplicate CIs. During Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) processes, handling of duplicate CIs is determined by the properties glide.identification_engine.skip_duplicates (set to true by default) and glide.identification_engine.skip_duplicates.threshold (set to 5 by default), and on the number of duplicate CIs that are detected. You can configure these properties so that duplicate ...
