CA Service Management

  • 1.  Service Desk and Service Now integration With Attachment

    Posted Apr 21, 2016 04:27 PM

    Hi All,

     

    We want to integrate CA Service Desk with ServiceNow for incident management, in which we want to sync attachment from service now to CA service Desk (vice-versa), since it is bidirectional integration.

     

    Question 1: is it possible that CA Service desk can receive and send base64 encoded/ decoded data for attachment.

    Question 2: If suppose we are migrating incident ticket from CA Service Desk to Service Now what is the best way to send attachment.

     

    Regards,

    Pradeep

    Hi,

    The only way I see you can add attachment to SDM is by using CA SDM SOAP or REST API

    Question 2: If suppose we are migrating incident ticket from CA Service Desk to Service Now what is the best way to send attachment.

    You can create trigger that will fire on attachment of new file, and will execute spell code. The code will execute remote reference (your custom server side executable), that will get attachment by using REST API or uploadservlet and will send it to servicenow.

     

    It will be quite challenging so good luck
