Scripted Outbound REST call

[gm01]

I am trying to send a REST message without having a Outbound REST message record.   I am using #3 in this as a guide Scripting Outbound REST - ServiceNow Wiki

I have variables that need to be passed from the Request into this workflow and this is what I am doing in the Workflow

var Name = current.variables.vm_name;

var MEM = current.variables.vm_memoryMb;

var CPU = current.variables.vm_numVcpus;

ar restMessage = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

restMessage.setBasicAuth("admin", "admin");

restMessage.setHttpMethod("post");

restMessage.setEndpoint("https://HostIP/gateway/services/rest/v1/vms/a8005786-07ab-4263-b065-98fc868ac6de");

restMessage.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

restMessage.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

restMessage.setMIDServer("midserver01");

restMessage.setRequestBody = ({"specList":[{"name":"Name","memoryMb":MEM,"numVcpus":CPU,"numCoresPerVcpu":1,"overrideNetworkConfig":true,"vmNics":[{"networkUuid":"8e06c992-7543-48f7-9380-51493b09317b"}]}]});

var response = restMessage.executeAsync();

The workflow executes with no errors but I never see anything happen on the other end and can't find where to look for the output of the script so I can see what if anything is being sent out.

Any help is appreciated.

A few things:

• You're missing a 'v' at the start of line 4: var restMessage
• Try stringifying the Object body
• I think you have unwanted quotes around the Name variable in the body
• Log the response to see what it is

var Name = String(current.variables.vm_name);
var MEM = String(current.variables.vm_memoryMb);
var CPU = String(current.variables.vm_numVcpus);
var obj = {"specList":[{"name":Name,"memoryMb":MEM,"numVcpus":CPU,"numCoresPerVcpu":1,"overrideNetworkConfig":true,"vmNics":[{"networkUuid":"8e06c992-7543-48f7-9380-51493b09317b"}]}]};
var json = JSON.stringify(obj);


var rm, response, status, responseBody, errorMsg;
try {
   rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
   rm.setEndpoint("https://HostIP/gateway/services/rest/v1/vms/a8005786-07ab-4263-b065-98fc868ac6de");
   rm.setHttpMethod("post");
   rm.setBasicAuth("admin", "admin");
   rm.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
   rm.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
   rm.setMIDServer("midserver01");
   rm.setRequestBody(json);

   response = rm.execute();
   status = response.getStatusCode();
   responseBody = response.getBody();
   errorMsg = response.haveError() ? response.getErrorMessage() : '';
} catch (ex) {
   errorMsg = ex.getMessage();
   status = '500';
}


gs.log('Response\nstatus: ' + status + '\nerrorMsg: ' + errorMsg + '\nresponseBody: ' + responseBody);
