  • Create a relationship between a digital interface and a CMDB API. The relationship helps you find out which digital integration uses which API, which APIs are built out of the design specs of the digital interface, and what environments are deployed. The relationship helps to group the deployed APIs.

    Before you begin

    Activate the CMDB CI Class Models [app-cmdb-content] store app (version 1.49.0 or later). For instructions, see CMDB CI Class Models store app.
