Is it possible to create a ConfigItem with the API

Hi,

we see the Rest API GET api/V3/Projection/CreateProjectionByTemplate?id={id}&createdById={createdById} and hoped we could create a ConfigItem with it. But we get an error.


[ClassName] does not contain a property with name 'Status'.\r\n  at

Does the API only support Workitem type classes to be created with it?

If so, will there be a API in future to do such things?

We need such a feature, beacuase we want to use the CMDB Portal to work with CIs not only to edit the items. In some cases the SCSM DB is the primary source for some of our config data.

Jan

    You can do it using the Commit API. Below is basic example in Javascript. You would have to build a UI around passing data into the various fields in the newCI variable.

    var newCI = {

    "BaseId": null,

    "FullClassName": "CI Name", // Get-SCSMClass InternalNameGoesHere | ft DisplayName, Name, Id --DisplayName 

    "ClassName": "CI Internal Name", // --Name

    "ClassTypeId": "37326d71-03e6-ea87-d43e-dacfe6d244cc", // --Id

    "NameRelationship": null,

    "CIKey": "{0}",

    "DisplayName": "My New CI",

    "TimeAdded": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",


    };

    var strData = { "formJson":{"original": null, "current": newCI}}

    console.log (strData);

    $.ajax({

    url: "/api/V3/Projection/Commit",

    type: "POST",

    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

    dataType: "json",

    data: JSON.stringify(strData) ,

    success: function (data2) {

    //console.log(data2)

    }

    });

    Hi,

    just tried that solution. Didn't work for me.

    Code:

    let currentDateTime = new Date(Date.now());

    let newCI = {

    "BaseId": null,

    "FullClassName": "1|FFM.Class.Buchungsdaten/f52053a985f13e91|1.0.0.0|FFM.Class.Buchungsdatenposition||",

    "ClassName": "FFM.Class.Buchungsdatenposition",

    "ClassTypeId": "eb71a255-bbf3-0807-9994-c366169a1bd0",

    "NameRelationship": null,

    "CIKey": "{0}",

    "DisplayName": "My New CI",

    "TimeAdded": currentDateTime.toISOString()

    };


    let strData = { "formJson": { "original": null, "current": newCI } }

    console.log(strData);

    $.ajax({

    url: "/api/V3/Projection/Commit",

    type: "POST",

    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

    dataType: "json",

    data: JSON.stringify(strData),

    })

    .done(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {

    })

    .fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {

    });

    Error:

    jqXHR.responseText:

    "{"message":"Unrecognized Guid format.","success":false,"data":"","exception":"Unrecognized Guid format.","BaseId":""}"


    Looks like "BaseId" expects a GUID of an EnterpriseManagementObject Id, doesn't work with an ManagementPackClass Id (e. g. like from ConfigItem). With an EnterpriseManagementObject Id the result looks ok but an object is not created.

    Any chance you can send me the MP that defines this custom class?

    Still getting the same response.

    "{"message":"Unrecognized Guid format.","success":false,"data":"","exception":"Unrecognized Guid format.","BaseId":""}"

    Got it working in Dev Tools, pasted your code again into my file and works there too.

    Could not find what was wrong but it works.

    Thanks!
