Description


Using the Inventory API parameter withParents=true now results in returning basic information (ID, type, name) on all ancestors of managed objects instead of being limited to only 3 levels of hierarchy. Notice that inventory roles are not taken into consideration when collecting information on ancestors, so basic information on all of them will be returned.

In addition to improving the API usability the performance of requests using the withParents=true
parameter has also been improved.
