Hi,
I'm trying to create a remote instance object using REST API however in REST API explorer the table 'sys_update_set_source' shows does not exist. Is there anything wrong I have been doing here?
I am trying to create a new Remote instance with source (dev) SNOW instance URL and credentials so I can move the update sets from dev to QA instance.
Hi Mansing,
The end point is described here:
curl "https://instance_name.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_update_set_source" --request POST --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" --data "{\"short_description\":\"test\"}" --user 'admin':'admin'
The REST api explorer will not build the query for you, as the target table is not selectable in the Explorer api.
This is, I suppose, intentional as was not anticipated that it would be useful to use REST on the sys_update_set_source.
I am not so convinced either 😉
If you try the curl code above, it will fail because setting the short description is not sufficient to pass the validation.
Actually the same validation that is applied when creating a new record in sys_update_set_source - name and URL etc
So this fragment --data "{\"short_description\":\"test\"}" requires extending to populate additional fields.
I suggest trying this in sub prod BTW...
