IRE API reclassification flags

[nadzeyay]

Hi,

In the documentation  https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/c_CIRec... described how to turn off reclassification for the javascript payloads  ( classUpgrade flags and others ) but they are not mentioned in the IRE API docs for the JSONs payloads : https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/api-reference/rest-apis/c_IdentifyReconcileAPI.html 

(they are working for them as well , btw) is it a missing documentation piece or shall they not work for the JSONs payloads ?

Question is : can we rely on them ( classUpgrade, classDowngrade, classSwitch) to use in our JSONs and it is a missing documentation piece or not?

Thank you in advance,

Nadzeya

Hi @nadzeyay ,

In the IRE API docs they haven't mentioned clearly about all attributes like classUpgrade, classDowngrade, classSwitch but you can use them in that IRE API , as i have used them :

1. I have created a record in the cmdb_ci_computer table with details :

"name": "SRV-APP-01",
"serial_number": "SN123456789"

Now i went to Navigator > Rest api explorer 

And i chose the IRE API as shown

And then i used the following JSON payload :

{
  "items": [
    {
      "className": "cmdb_ci_server",
      "settings": {
        "classUpgrade": true,
        "classDowngrade": true,
        "classSwitch": true
      },
      "values": {
        "name": "SRV-APP-01",
        "serial_number": "SN123456789",
        "discovery_source": "ServiceNow"
      }
    }
  ]
}

And as you can see in the pic shown below the operation says  "Update_With_Upgrade".

So , that conclude you can use them(i.e classUpgrade, classDowngrade, classSwitch) in IRE API.
