Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Service Mapping horizontal pattern criteria.
Why it's wrong here
Service Mapping patterns are used for discovery traversal, not inbound REST API payloads.
- ✓
Invocation of the IRE API (such as `sn_cmdb.IdentificationEngine`) within the script step.
Why this is correct
The script step must call the IRE API to pass the payload into the reconciliation engine.
- ✗
Discovery schedule IP ranges matching the REST server IP.
Why it's wrong here
Discovery schedules are not used by IntegrationHub REST actions.
- ✗
Legacy Transform Map record definitions linked to the REST endpoint.
Why it's wrong here
IntegrationHub IRE payloads operate independently of legacy transform maps.
- ✓
The JSON payload formatted with valid CI classes, identification attributes, and related items.
Why this is correct
The payload must conform to IRE syntax standards, including class names and identification attributes.
