REST API with MidServer

[balaji_prusty1]

Hi All;

Thanks in advance !!!

I need to connect the Rest API which is in my office Intranet. But when I tried to   test connection (Post method) from ServiceNow to that API it gives error "java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused) when posting to".

As per me, as the API is in intranet and ServiceNow is in cloud, so ServiceNow is not able to access that API. I think this need to achieve by Mid Server. But I am not sure how to configure this.

Can anyone please help me on this.

Thanks

Dear Balaji,

Please refer to below documentation to install the midserver

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/jakarta-it-operations-management/page/product/mid-server/concept/...

Midserver should be installed on a machine which is within the intranet.

Once you install midserver you need to use that in REST API configuration (HTTP Method), as you can see from below screenshot.

Happy to help if you have further questions.

Thanks Anil;

Let me configure accordingly.

If you're doing the rest call from a script, you can also use the `setMIDServer` method.

e.g.

//snip setup of restMessage
var midServer = 'string name of MID server'; //not sys_id
restMessage.setMIDServer(midServer);
//snip execute and handling

Hope this can help.
