Hello Chaitanya,

SN provides a relationship table between Contracts and CI's - "ast_contract_instance". Rather than update the cmdb_rel_ci table (which is intended for CI to CI relationships and I wouldn't recommend updating this table), I'd leverage the "ast_contract_instance" table. (See below)

 

These relationships are also available as a Related List at the bottom on the Contracts page and can be reported on etc.

Before you begin

Role required: contract_manager or admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Contract Management > Contract > All.
  2. Select a contract.
  3. (Optional) In the Contract used by related list, click New to create a new configuration item.
  4. In the Contract used by related list, click Edit.
  5. In the Collection configuration items list on the left, double-click a configuration item name.
    The item is added to the Contract used by List on the right.
  6. Click Save.
