I think there are many challenges/limitations when importing data from a flatfile through AIE. It misses on some records, if the count of records if considerably large(telling from my own experience) 'OR' condition in the query does not work for flat files. See AIE_76_Users_Guide(page 212) Try importing the same data from a sql table & then 'Query' on multiple fields/attributes. I use remote sql tables to import data into CMDB using different filters/queries & it has never created any problem for me.
