    • The CimCIData script include provides a wrapper for Common Information Model (CIM) configuration item (CI) data manipulation.

    Use with any server-side discovery script.

    CimCIData - addSerial(String type, String serial)

    Adds a serial number to the current configuration item (CI), by type.

    Table 1. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    type String Serial number type. For the base system, use the CimCIData.serialType enum.
    serial String Serial number to add.
    Table 2. Returns
    Type Description
    String Current CI

    The following example loads the CI data from current CI and passes the data object to the CimCIData.addSerial() method which adds the serial number to CimCIData and CIData.

    var cidata = new CIData();  //Instantiate a new CIData class object
cidata.loadFromCI('0c43b0f5c6112275019abd2bb3dcd78f');  // Load the current data from a CI record. use sys_id or ci name
var cimcidata = new CimCIData(cidata);  // Instantiate a new CimCIData class object and pass the CIdata 
var cimdata = cimcidata.addSerial('baseboard','XK0HKSN6');  // Add serial number to the CIData and CimCIData
gs.info(JSON.stringify(cimdata, null ,4));  // The JSON payload in string format with added serial number and serial number type
gs.info("serial number : "+cimdata.serials.records[1].serial_number);  // Display serial number which is added
gs.info("serial type : "+ cimdata.serials.records[1].serial_number_type);  // Display serial type which is added

    CimCIData - SerialRecord(String type, String serial)

    Creates a new serial record.

    Table 3. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    type String The serial type to assign to the CI. If out-of-box, uses the CimCIData.serialType enum.
    serial String The serial number to assign.
    Table 4. Returns
    Type Description
    void

    CimCIData - setMakeAndModel(String make, String model)

    Sets the make and model for the current configuration item (CI).

    Table 5. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    make String Name of the manufacturer to set for the CI.
    model String Name of the model to set for the CI.
    Table 6. Returns
    Type Description
    void

    The following example shows how to use the setMakeAndModel() method to set the make and model of the specified CI.

    var cidata = new CIData(); // Instantiate a new CIData class object
cidata.loadFromCI('0c43b0f5c6112275019abd2bb3dcd78f'); // Load the current data from a CI record. Use sys_id or CI name
var cimcidata = new CimCIData(cidata); // Instantiate a new CimCIData class object and pass the CIdata 
cimcidata.setMakeAndModel('IBM','Thinkpad T20'); // Set make(manufacturer) and model in the CIData and CimCIData
gs.info(JSON.stringify(cimcidata, null, 4)); // Display JSON payload in string format with added manufacturer sys_id
gs.info("model= "+cimcidata.data.model_id); // Display model sys_id which is added from cmdb_hardware_product_model table
