Task to be achieved:-                                                                                                                                                                  1. Create a custom table in the ServiceNow instance and create two fields, input and output of integer type.     

2. Install the MID Server in the Debian(Linux) Server

3. Validate and Connect to the ServiceNow instance.

4. Create and save the square calculating logic in the Linux server, i.e., (input * input), path:- /opt/square.ssh

5. When you create a record in the created table, giving value to the input field, say for example "2" and submit the record, the input should be given to the MID Server to scan the logic in the Linux server and perform the operation i.e., 2*2 = 4, and then it should parse the result to the output field which is in the ServiceNow instance via MID Server.

 

 

I am trying this task from 5 days, yet no progress even though referring the ServiceNow official documentation.            I invite everyone in this community to this challenge and crush this task

What is your business case? Because it absolutely doesn't make sense to create a custom table with two integer fields. You do realize that you only have a limited number of custom tables you can use? There must be a better solution for this, but without the business case, we can only guess to what you are trying to achieve.


Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Hey @Mark Manders ! Thank you for acknowledging this task. As I am newbie to this platform, I am trying to understand the capabilities of ServiceNow MID Server. 

Think of my agenda like this:-   I just want to fetch the data or info from the Linux (Debian) server to my ServiceNow PDI only via MID Server. I referred product documentation for the MID installation, but I got struck in using all those business rules, scripts and as well as REST API explorer. I am just looking for a basic and simple exercise to understand the process behind the scene.

 

I hope you'll help me!
