    Summary of Commands installed with CMDB Application CLI and API

    The CMDB Application CLI and API app provides ServiceNow customers with a powerful command-line and API framework to manage application services efficiently without relying on the user interface. Installed via theapp-cmdb-api-cliplugin, it consolidates APIs related to application services and exposes CLI commands that allow scripting and automation across the enterprise.

    This capability is essential for automating critical operations such as registering, updating, populating, and deleting application services and their upstream relationships, enabling streamlined management of business applications and service offerings directly from the CLI or via API calls.

    Key Features

    • Convert Application Service: Change manual or empty application services into calculated types, moving records into the appropriate CMDB table.
    • Create and Delete Application Service Relationships: Construct or remove upstream relationships between application services, business applications, and service offerings to reflect accurate service dependencies.
    • Delete Application Service: Remove application services from the CMDB.
    • Find Application Service: Retrieve detailed information and upstream relationships of a specified application service, supporting operational insights and inventory management.
    • Populate Application Service: Populate services using various population methods such as CMDB groups, dynamic services, tag-based families, service hierarchies, or tag lists.
    • Register Application Service: Create new application services with associated tags and upstream relationships to other business and technical services.
    • Update Application Service: Modify existing application service records and tags without altering upstream relationships.
    • Update Application Service State: Change the lifecycle state of an application service to activate, deactivate, or retire, which updates operational status and lifecycle stage fields accordingly.

    Practical Use and Command Structure

    Each command requires the appserviceadmin role for full access, with additional roles needed when working with service mapping-related services. Commands accept JSON data input specifying identifying properties such as sysid, number, or other identification fields (IRE fields) like name or version to precisely target application services.

    Commands are executed via the ServiceNow CLI using the structure:

    • Mac OS example: snc service-graph app-service <command> --data '{JSON}'
    • Windows OS example: snc service-graph app-service <command> --data "{JSON}"

    Each command returns a JSON response indicating success or providing requested details.

    Why It Matters

    For ServiceNow customers managing complex application services and their dependencies, this CLI and API framework allows for:

    • Automation of routine and critical CMDB tasks
    • Consistent and repeatable service registration and updates
    • Efficient relationship management between business and technical services
    • Improved operational visibility by retrieving service details programmatically
    • Lifecycle management of services to reflect real-world operational states

    What to Expect

    By leveraging these CLI commands and APIs, customers can expect streamlined application service lifecycle management, improved data integrity in CMDB, and enhanced automation capabilities. Commands provide precise control over service registration, population, relationship management, and state transitions, all accessible via scriptable interfaces suitable for integration in enterprise automation workflows.

    Commands and command groups available to the ServiceNow CLI when the app-cmdb-api-cli plugin is installed.

    Request apps on the Store

    Visit the ServiceNow Store website to view all the available apps and for information about submitting requests to the store. For cumulative release notes information for all released apps, see the ServiceNow Store version history release notes.

    To script critical operations which support automation across the enterprise, you can leverage APIs or run command line operations that the CMDB Application CLI and API store app provide instead of using the user interface. The CMDB Application CLI and API store app provides a robust framework which consolidates all the APIs that are related to application services and the command lines that let you access the interface to those APIs.

    CMDB Application CLI and API commands enable the following tasks:

    • Registering and creating an application service and establishing upstream relationships
    • Getting details of a given application service and its upstream relationships
    • Connecting higher level constructs such as business applications and business service offerings
    • Populating an application service with a given population type
    • Changing the state of an application service

    For the REST API solution, see SG Services API.

    Convert Application Service

    Converts a manual or empty type application service to a calculated application service. During conversion, the application service record moves into the [cmdb_ci_service_calculated] table with the newly assigned class.

    • Child group: app-service
    Roles required

    Command structure for Mac OS
    snc service-graph app-service convert --data '{JSON}'
    Command structure for Windows OS
    snc service-graph app-service convert --data "{JSON}"
    Arguments

    This command passes a JSON object using the data parameter.

    The following properties for identifying a CI take precedence as follows:
