Comment 12 Milan Falešník 2015-07-01 08:48:40 UTC
Do we have any CMDB we could try this out against?

Comment 13 Shveta 2015-07-06 18:23:33 UTC
Classes are present RedHat/Integration/ServiceNow/CMDB

Referring to this doc :
http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/23064/#Provision_VM_from_Template


1) Copied Integration CMDB (create method )to Default domain.
2) Edited default - infrastructure - Provisioning - statemachine - VMProvision_template and gave value for Activate CMDB = /Integration/ServiceNow/CMDB/create
3) provisioned VM
4) checked automation logs

Comment 14 Greg McCullough 2015-07-06 20:41:01 UTC
Shveta, 

From the logging the uri is not properly formatted:  
Q-task_id([miq_provision_8]) <AEMethod create> ----- Create ServiceNow CMDB Record ----- - uri   => https:///api/now/table/cmdb_ci_server

The automate methods shows the uri being built from this code:
  snow_server   = $evm.object['snow_server']
  snow_user     = $evm.object['snow_user']
  snow_password = $evm.object.decrypt('snow_password')
  table_name    = $evm.object['table_name']
  uri           = "https://#{snow_server}/api/now/table/#{table_name}"

table_name is being substituted but "snow_server" is not.  Since they are coming from the same object "$evm.object" that would point to a possible configuration error.

Please verify that snow_server is being properly set.

Comment 15 Shveta 2015-07-06 21:48:02 UTC
Updated the snow_server in the schema . 

Now the error is :

username and password I gave are admin/smartvm.
Is that ok ?

Comment 19 Greg McCullough 2015-07-07 14:49:31 UTC
Shveta - I tried connecting to the URL in a browser (https://10.8.59.158/api/now/table/cmdb_ci_server) and get the same "bad_request" message.  The full response gives a little better understanding of the error:

{"error":{"kind":"bad_request","message":"Unsupported Collection now specified","klass":"ApiController::BadRequestError"}}

Note, if the credentials are not correct you get a "Authentication failed" method so it looks like your credentials are correct.


John - Is there someone, maybe the original author, that can take a look at this ServiceNow issue with the automate methods?

Hi Tina , 

Can you please take a look at this issue . Last time I verified this bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1190260)  , I don't remember setting up snow_server .

Comment 23 Greg McCullough 2015-07-14 13:23:30 UTC
email update from Nick (ncatling):

It sounds like the cmdb_ci_server table may not exist in the the ServiceNow database being used. Verify the table name and amend if necessary - the table name is exposed in the class schema.

Regards
Nick

Hi Shveta,

The credentials below are for ServiceNow, rather than CloudForms. Would you confirm they're set correctly please?

Thanks.

  snow_server   = $evm.object['snow_server']
  snow_user     = $evm.object['snow_user']
  snow_password = $evm.object.decrypt('snow_password')

Hi , I tried the setup again at the below appliance and got error .

https://10.16.7.207
Not sure what snow_server and what snow_server credentials are . 

https://10.16.7.207/api/now/table/cmdb_ci_server with username/password = admin/smartvm shows " {"error":{"kind":"bad_request","message":"Unsupported Collection now specified","klass":"ApiController::BadRequestError"}}"


Please check the appliance .

Thanks, 
Shveta

Please review the documentation - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_CloudForms/3.2/html/Integration_with_ServiceNow/chap-Configuring_ServiceNow_Connection.html

snow_server - ServiceNow database IP address or resolvable hostname.
snow_user - ServiceNow user account with the necessary permissions.
snow_password - Associated user account password.

The ServiceNow database IP\hostname and credentials are needed, not CloudForms credentials. Do you have access to a ServiceNow database for testing?

Thanks.

I don't have access to ServiceNow db .
In documentation there are no steps to setup Snow_server .

The purpose of this ServiceNow integration is to authenticate with an existing ServiceNow database and add\amend items in the ServiceNow database during state machine processing, for example the VM provision state machine. It assumes you have credentials and access to a ServiceNow database instance. ServiceNow itself, is out of the scope of the document.

Thanks.

I think some miscommunication started back around comment #12, but I might be able to help clear things up.

We (CFME QE) do not have access to a ServiceNow database, and are therefore unable to verify this.

Do you have a ServiceNow database you can give us access to, or know someone who does?

Better yet, if you have access to a working ServiceNow instance, can you verify this bug on a recent 5.3.z (5.3.4.1+) release using a ServiceNow instance that you have access to?

Thanks!
