ServiceNow DevOps Register Package GitHub Action

This custom action needs to be added at step level in a job to register package details in ServiceNow instance.

Usage

Step 1: Prepare values for setting up your secrets for Actions

• credentials (Devops integration token of a GitHub tool created in ServiceNow DevOps or username and password for a ServiceNow devops integration user)
• instance URL for your ServiceNow dev, test, prod, etc. environments
• tool_id of your GitHub tool created in ServiceNow DevOps

Step 2: Configure Secrets in your GitHub Ogranization or GitHub repository

On GitHub, go in your organization settings or repository settings, click on the Secrets > Actions and create a new secret.

For token based authentication which is available from @v3.1.0 , create secrets called

• SN_INSTANCE_URL your ServiceNow instance URL, for example https://test.service-now.com
• SN_ORCHESTRATION_TOOL_ID only the sys_id is required for the GitHub tool created in your ServiceNow instance
• SN_DEVOPS_INTEGRATION_TOKEN required for token based authentication

For basic authentication , create secrets called

• SN_INSTANCE_URL your ServiceNow instance URL, for example https://test.service-now.com
• SN_ORCHESTRATION_TOOL_ID only the sys_id is required for the GitHub tool created in your ServiceNow instance
• SN_DEVOPS_USER
• SN_DEVOPS_PASSWORD

Step 3: Configure the GitHub Action if need to adapt for your needs or workflows

For Token based Authentication which is available from @v3.1.0 , at ServiceNow instance

registerpackage:
    name: Register Package
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: ServiceNow Register Package
        uses: ServiceNow/servicenow-devops-register-package@v3.1.0
        with:
          devops-integration-token: ${{ secrets.SN_DEVOPS_INTEGRATION_TOKEN }}
          instance-url: ${{ secrets.SN_INSTANCE_URL }}
          tool-id: ${{ secrets.SN_ORCHESTRATION_TOOL_ID }}
          context-github: ${{ toJSON(github) }}
          job-name: 'Register Package'
          artifacts: '[{"name": "com:customactiondemo","version": "1.${{ github.run_number }}","semanticVersion": "1.${{ github.run_number }}.0","repositoryName": "${{ github.repository }}"}]'
          package-name: 'registerpackage.war'

For Basic Authentication at ServiceNow instance

registerpackage:
    name: Register Package
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: ServiceNow Register Package
        uses: ServiceNow/servicenow-devops-register-package@v3.1.0
        with:
          devops-integration-user-name: ${{ secrets.SN_DEVOPS_USER }}
          devops-integration-user-passwd: ${{ secrets.SN_DEVOPS_PASSWORD }}
          instance-url: ${{ secrets.SN_INSTANCE_URL }}
          tool-id: ${{ secrets.SN_ORCHESTRATION_TOOL_ID }}
          context-github: ${{ toJSON(github) }}
          job-name: 'Register Package'
          artifacts: '[{"name": "com:customactiondemo","version": "1.${{ github.run_number }}","semanticVersion": "1.${{ github.run_number }}.0","repositoryName": "${{ github.repository }}"}]'
          package-name: 'registerpackage.war'

The values for secrets should be setup in Step 1. Secrets should be created in Step 2.

Support Model

ServiceNow customers may request support through the Now Support (HI) portal.

Governance Model

Initially, ServiceNow product management and engineering representatives will own governance of these integrations to ensure consistency with roadmap direction. In the longer term, we hope that contributors from customers and our community developers will help to guide prioritization and maintenance of these integrations. At that point, this governance model can be updated to reflect a broader pool of contributors and maintainers.
