How to Configure CI Class in the Model category for Handheld devices

[Manasa23]

HI,

I'm trying to Create a CI  class for the OOB Hardware class  Handheld Devices, but CI class is not editable, can Someone please help me on this ???

Why don't you use the OOB CI class cmdb_ci_handheld_computing

Hi Manasa,

When I try to change the CI Class with a background script, I get the following error:
"Changing the CI class after creation is not allowed"

This action is blocked by the business rule "Protect cmdb_ci_class".

You can try this, but test it good on a test environment!!

1. Disable the Business Rule "Protect cmdb_ci_class".
2. Run the script below in the "Scripts - Background"
3. Enable the Business Rule "Protect cmdb_ci_class"

Script
Change the name "Handheld Computing" to the name that you are using for the Model Category you want to change.

var gr = new GlideRecord("cmdb_model_category");
gr.addQuery("name", "Handheld Computing");
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
gr.cmdb_ci_class = "cmdb_ci_handheld_computing";
gr.update();
}

Regards,

Michael
