Change Management SOAP web services

You create and modify infrastructure change records by using the Change Management interface forms.

  • When you create an infrastructure change, you can perform the following actions:
    • Relate the change with an existing CI entry.
    • Create a work information entry.
  • When you modify an infrastructure change, you can also create a work information record.


Change_Submit_Service

To create an Infrastructure Change record, either use web services or use the interface form.

The following tables describe the values required to create an Infrastructure Change record by using the CHG:ChangeInterface_Create form. These tables list the interface field value and its corresponding web service value.

Important

When you use a change template to create a change request, the field values from the interface form overwrite the values that are defined in the change template. The only exception is that if the interface form passes a null value, the template value is replaced. For example, if the product category in the template is Hardware and the interface form passes a null value, the change product category is set to Hardware.
