Chapter 8. ServiceNow Custom actions in Red Hat Developer Hub

Important

These features are for Technology Preview only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend using them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information on Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Scope.

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

8.1. 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

Red Hat Developer Hub is installed and running. For more information about installing the Developer Hub, see Chapter 2, Installing Red Hat Developer Hub.
You have created a project in the Developer Hub.

Procedure

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/janus-idp-backstage-scaffolder-backend-module-servicenow-dynamic
        disabled: false
```
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.

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}
