In Red Hat Developer Hub, you can access ServiceNow custom actions (custom actions) for fetching and registering resources in the catalog.

The custom actions in Developer Hub enable you to facilitate and automate the management of records. Using the custom actions, you can perform the following actions:

  • Create, update, or delete a record
  • Retrieve information about a single record or multiple records

9.1. Enabling ServiceNow custom actions plugin in Red Hat Developer Hub

In Red Hat Developer Hub, the ServiceNow custom actions are provided as a pre-loaded plugin, which is disabled by default. You can enable the custom actions plugin using the following procedure.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. To activate the custom actions plugin, add a package with plugin name and update the disabled field in your Helm chart as follows:

    global:
      dynamic:
        includes:
          - dynamic-plugins.default.yaml
        plugins:
          - package: ./dynamic-plugins/dist/backstage-community-plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-servicenow-dynamic
            disabled: false
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note

    The default configuration for a plugin is extracted from the dynamic-plugins.default.yaml file, however, you can use a pluginConfig entry to override the default configuration.

  2. Set the following variables in the Helm chart to access the custom actions:

    servicenow:
      # The base url of the ServiceNow instance.
      baseUrl: ${SERVICENOW_BASE_URL}
      # The username to use for authentication.
      username: ${SERVICENOW_USERNAME}
      # The password to use for authentication.
      password: ${SERVICENOW_PASSWORD}
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
