CIS-DF Ingest Practice Question
An administrator is troubleshooting an integration that uses Robust Transform Engine (RTE) to ingest software licenses. During testing, records are inserted into staging tables, but the RTE fails to push them into the CMDB via the IRE. Which THREE areas should the administrator inspect to diagnose the failure? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

✓
CMDB Integration Results / IRE Execution Logs to identify specific payload rejection reasons.
Troubleshooting RTE-to-IRE integrations requires checking RTE data stream mappings, IRE identification rules, and integration error logs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) definition table for expired response times.
Why it's wrong here
SLAs track task resolution times and do not affect backend data ingestion pipelines.
- ✗
The UI Macro table for broken form decorators.
Why it's wrong here
UI macros control form rendering elements and have no impact on backend RTE data processing.
- ✓
CMDB Integration Results / IRE Execution Logs to identify specific payload rejection reasons.
Why this is correct
IRE execution logs capture exact validation errors and payload rejections.
- ✓
CI Class Manager to verify that valid identification rules exist for the target software license class.
Why this is correct
Without valid identification rules for the target class, the IRE cannot process or match incoming records.
- ✓
RTE Field Mappings and Data Stream Definitions to verify that source fields are correctly mapped to target IRE payload attributes.
Why this is correct
Incorrect field mappings in RTE prevent the payload from forming properly for the IRE.
