Update Configuration Item Attributes

with ServiceNow · IT Infrastructure Management

Read a configuration item and update its attributes.

  1. List configuration items in the class to provide context for the update.
  2. Fetch the target configuration item's full attribute set before applying changes.
  3. Patch the configuration item's attributes through the Table API, keyed by the CMDB class name as the table and the CI sys_id.
What you'll need to have ready
  • className: The CMDB class of the configuration item (e.g. cmdb_ci_server).
  • ciSysId: The sys_id of the configuration item to update.
  • attributes: The field name/value pairs to write to the CI record.
