pass objects from service now to Archi about snow-import-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

I provided the configuration file "sample_snow-import_plugin_ini_file.ini" that is self documented. Did you have a chance to have a look at it ?

Best regards

In fact, the configuration file is a way to construct the web service URL and for each response, create (or update) an Archi element.

So what you can do to debug, is to manually connect to the web service URL generated by the proxy, and check what ServiceNow returns.

If it returns zero line, then the UrL is not correct and the configuration file must be updated to change the URL. You may also get an error message that my plugin may fail to catch ...

Please let me know ...

Thanks Herve -

I checked and I am getting the response from the URL is I manually connect through the browser.
one this which I figured in the ini file is PROXY

My service now link does not need proxy authentications, so I left PROXY section of ini file commented , would that cause an issue ?

No issue. The proxy information needs to be filled in if you've got a proxy only :-)
