CI Lifecycle Management API
The CI Lifecycle Management API provides endpoints to manipulate configuration item (CI) operational states and apply CI actions.
The API interfaces adhere to restrictions and allowances specified by not allowed CI actions, compatible CI actions, and not allowed operational transitions. If an interface attempts a restricted operation, the operation is blocked, an error is logged, and a task is created if appropriate.
