Setting dynamic end point for post in REST message

[harry24]

Hello , 

I have a requirement where I need to dynamically create end-points for POST . 

Like whenever a Change is created in servicenow at build stage the integration invokes and creates the change in third party . 

https://dev.abc.com/rest/v1/projects/ThirdPartyIntegration/workitems

this works fine 

Now the project name will be dynamic how do i create this ?

Also how can be handle multiple endpoints ?

Thanks

Hi Harry,

You can use the string manipulation.

e.g.

//store the project name in variable from function parameter or through gs.getPropety("project_name");

var projectName = "ThirdPartyIntegration";

var url = "https://dev.abc.com/rest/v1/projects/"+ projectName +"/workitems";

This way Project name can be inserted dynamically.

Hi @harry24 ,

Follow below steps to create end point.

1. Create one REST Message with POST Method. Set authentication method and End point provided by third-party.
2. 
3. Create post method.
4. 
5. In query parameter add your variable as many as you want, i have added 2 in this example.
6. 
7. Click related link "Auto generate variable", it will generate variable for you in related list.
8. 
9. Click on related link "Preview Script Usage" to generate the script.
10. 

try { 
 var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('test', 'Create change');
 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('number', 'CHG0030001');
 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('project_name', 'ApplicationServerPeopleSoft');

//override authentication profile 
//authentication type ='basic'/ 'oauth2'
//r.setAuthenticationProfile(authentication type, profile name);

//set a MID server name if one wants to run the message on MID
//r.setMIDServer('MY_MID_SERVER');

//if the message is configured to communicate through ECC queue, either
//by setting a MID server or calling executeAsync, one needs to set skip_sensor
//to true. Otherwise, one may get an intermittent error that the response body is null
//r.setEccParameter('skip_sensor', true);

 var response = r.execute();
 var responseBody = response.getBody();
 var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
}
catch(ex) {
 var message = ex.message;
}

Note: Fill all the content type and authentication method properly with correct information and then you can test this method while clicking on related link "test".
