configuration_item_relations - relation name not matching ServiceNow values

[markatdxb]

SUMMARY

Hello, i would like to know if there is a source of relation names which you use in the module
In this example you show Depends_On

- name: Create relation between two ci
  servicenow.itsm.configuration_item_relations:
    name: Depends_On
    direction: outbound
    state: present
    parent_sys_id: "{{ parent_sys_id }}"
    parent_classname: cmdb_ci_linux_server
    targets:
      - name: target1
        sys_id: target1_id

When looking at ServiceNow cmdb_rel_type table, there is no Depends_On type but Depends on
Where or how could i get the correct names of all available relation types or is there some simple logic ?

Hi, it looks like the example is incorrect. I will open a PR to fix the docs.

"Depends On" is the parent_descriptor. "Used by" is the child_descriptor. "Depends on::Used by" is the sys_name (or the name argument for the module).

The way I find these out is by using the REST API explorer in the servicenow gui. You can query the table api and the cmdb_rel_type table
