http://<servername>:<portnumber>/api/change/

Assuming you are adding a new CI Type in the local server with port number 8080, the URL should be given as::

http://localhost:8080/api/change/

  2. The operation name "add"  should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "OPERATION_NAME".

  3. The technician key should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "TECHNICIAN_KEY".

Note:  

If no result format specified then API will return output in JSON format.

  • CIType-ID of the newly added entry is returned along with the CI Type in the response.

  • Technician having SDAdmin role can add CI Type(s).

  • CI Attributes can be added separately
