Edit and validate CDM configuration

List configuration-data nodes and validate the configuration.

When to use this pattern

• You're programmatically editing configuration data nodes
• You want validation results before committing a changeset

Required values

Value	Description
Changeset context	Editor operations run against your active changeset

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	servicenow "github.com/michaeldcanady/servicenow-sdk-go/v2"
	"github.com/michaeldcanady/servicenow-sdk-go/v2/credentials"
)

func main() {
  // Step 1: Authenticate and initialize the client
  cred := credentials.NewBasicProvider("{username}", "{password}")

  client, err := servicenow.NewServiceNowServiceClient(
  	servicenow.WithAuthenticationProvider(cred),
  	servicenow.WithInstance("{instance}"),
  )
  if err != nil {
  	log.Fatalf("failed to initialize client: %v", err)
  }
  ctx := context.Background()

  editor := client.Cdm().Editor()

  // Step 2: List configuration data nodes
  nodes, err := editor.Nodes().Get(ctx, nil)
  if err != nil {
  	log.Fatalf("unable to list nodes: %v", err)
  }
  fmt.Printf("nodes: %+v\n", nodes)

  // Step 3: Validate the configuration data
  validation, err := editor.Validation().Get(ctx, nil)
  if err != nil {
  	log.Fatalf("validation failed: %v", err)
  }
  fmt.Printf("validation: %+v\n", validation)
}

Tips

• Nodes().Post/Put/Delete modify nodes; validate before you commit.
