Hi,
As the server names in the 2 files don't match you will need to add the end part of the full name to the short name to make them match.
The easiest way to do this would be to use an "Add Field" operator just after the ReadCSV data source to add in a field containing the rest of the full name. You can then feed this into a "Concatenate" operator to concatenate those 2 fields together into 1.
Thanks

Hi,
To achieve this I would recommend creating a query node that just returns the servers you wanted to report on (i.e. exclude the build servers).
In order to do this you would first need to create a custom report that had the server configuration information and then used a ReadCSV data source to read in the external file and exclude those ones from the output. You can then use this custom report in the query node, so that the query node will only return the servers you are interested in.
If you need assistance creating this report you can engage EMC Professional Services who can create it for you.
Thanks

Thank you very much for answering the question , may I know beside the two sources ( orignal servers + reade CSV file) , what conditioner should I use in between to exclude the server base on the external file , the external file only contain one row with short name of the server ? original server is in the format of full name.
