    Assuming you are adding a new CI Type in the local server with port number 8080, the URL should be given as::

    http://localhost:8080/api/change/


    Keypoints:

    1. Input is an XML string sent as "POST attribute" with key "INPUT_DATA".

    2. The operation name "add"  should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "OPERATION_NAME".

    3. The technician key should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "TECHNICIAN_KEY".


    Note:
