Using the Internal-Global ID Conversion API

OMi APIs work with internal CI IDs, while other tools integrated through a UCMDB work with global CI IDs. To use OMi APIs when you have global CI IDs, you must first convert them to internal CI IDs. Likewise, to send input from OMi to external software that integrates through a UCMDB, the internal CI IDs must first be converted to global CI IDs.

The Internal-Global ID Conversion API contains two methods, to convert RTSM internal CI IDs to global CI IDs, and to convert global CI IDs to RTSM internal CI IDs.

The log file for this API is located on the Gateway Server, at <OMi root directory>\log\EJBContainer\bsm_sdk_utils.log
