Web service for creating or combining a set.

If you are creating a new set, you can use this API to create 2 types of sets: Itemized set, Logical set
In order to create an itemized set, first create an empty set using this API, and then use the Manage Members API to populate it.
Creating logical sets is supported for Inventory related entities, Users and Vendors (not supported for PO-Lines, etc).
Details regarding the syntax for creating Logical Sets can be found here.

In addtion, it is possible to create an itemized set and populate it from a logical set by setting the logical set id in the from_logical_set parameter.
It is also possible to create an itemized set which is based on MD import job by providing job instance id and population.
For more details about MD import itemized set click hereIf you are combining sets, then set1 and set2 must be provided. Those two sets will be combined with a new combined set created.
