Hi All
We are moving from MS System Center to ServiceNow for ITSM. At the moment I am trying to get my head around the orchestration in SN, which unfortunately is quite a bit more difficult than it was in SCOrch
For now - I am trying to take the value of a variable in a custom powershell activity and then use it throughout the rest of the workflow. In this case, it is a username that has been generated to policy via a PS script from the first and last name of the user - eg.
Firstname = John
Lastname = Smith
results in
$Username= jsmi1
I need to take that $username value and then use it to create a new AD user.
When i am in the custom PS activity and do "test inputs" - it works without issue. Output shows the value i want. In the custom PS activity, I created a parsing rule to take the value of the activity.output and map it to output1
In the workflow, i added a script activity to take the results and put them in the scratchpad using
workflow.scratchpad.username = data.get(7).Output1 (which is from the little data navigator thingy)
then I put a notification activity to send me an email with ${workflow.scratchpad.username} in it - so i can validate what it's doing.
This email does not have the data in it. It just gives me "..sc1". If i add the "${data.get(7).Output1}" to it also - that does nothing.
I have tried ending the PS script with a few different ways of displaying the data to see if it changes anything, nothing helps. So far i have tried
{script goes here that sets up $username variable}
$username (to just output the username)
and
write-host $username
and
$data = $username | ConvertTo-JSON
write-host $data
and currently
Write-Output "%%out_data1%%"
Write-Output "$($username)"
Write-Output "%%"
and then parsed the output1 varible to the out_data1 tag as shown in the attachment.
This is super basic stuff in scorch but it's killing me in servicenow. what am I doing wrong?
