Payload 

{
  cis: [
    {
      ucmdbId: [temp_id],
      type: [ucmdb_cit],
      properties: {
        <ucmdb_cit_prop>: [ucmdb_cit_prop_value],
        …
      }
    },
    …
  ],
  relations: [
    {
      ucmdbId: [temp_id],
      type: [ucmdb_cit],
      end1Id: [temp_id],
      end2Id: [temp_id],
      properties: {
        <ucmdb_cit_prop>: [ucmdb_cit_prop_value],
        …
      }
    },
    …
  ]
}

Note The …(three dots) denotes that there can be 0 or more values.

Data Types:

[temp_id]

The string that represents a temporary ID of the objects. This temporary ID can be used for referring to the object inside this payload. For example, you can specify the two ends of a relationship, if you want to use an object that was defined in the same payload, use the object’s temporary ID.

[ucmdb_cit]

The string that represents the name of a valid CI Type from the UCMDB. You have to use the name of the CI Type, not the display name. The name of the CI Type can be found inside the CI Type Manager.

[ucmdb_cit_prop_value]

The property value, which can be integer, string, Boolean, long, double, ISO8601 date, or a list of values depending on the CIT property data type.

Custom fields:

<ucmdb_cit_prop>

The valid property name of the CI Type. You can get the name and the list of all properties of a CI Type from the CI Type Manager. You have to use the name of the property, not its display name.

{
     cis: [{
            ucmdbId: 1,
            type: node,
            properties: {
                  name: Test1
            }
      }, {
