Request_Submit_Service


Use the Request_Submit_Service function to create and submit service requests. The following tables list the values required to submit a service request through the SRM:RequestInterface_Create form.

Service requests generated from the Request_Submit_Service function are validated against On Behalf Of (OBO) rules. To use this function, an administrator must configure an OBO rule so that the Requested By user can submit a service request on behalf of the Requested For user. For information about configuring OBO rules, see Creating-on-behalf-of-definition-rules.
