    CIs cannot be created through Rest calls. For CIs we have the following calls:

     

    The CI REST web services let you perform the following operations:
    Get CI details
    Get hyperlink entries associated with a CI
    Get the status information for a CI
    Get the CI USM information
    Get a list of alerts impacting a specific CI
    Get a list of children for a specific CI
    Get a list of parents for a specific CI
    Get a list of services for a CI
    Update details of a CI, such as maintenance mode and user attributes

     

    CIs are created by their respective Connectors.

     

    Please mark this question as answered or let me know if you have any further questions.

     

    Thanks and kind regards,

    Hi Everton,

    Yes, you can create(, update and delete) CIs (as well as Alerts and Service) via Universal Connector.

    Can you please explain the Use Case behind the entire question to better understand what you try to achieve by creating the CIs.

    Alerts always have to come via the same method, e.g. when you create a CI via the Universal Connector the Alerts for these CIs have also to come via the Universal Connector.

    In case you need further details, we can also continue the communication internally: Michael.Boehm@ca.com
