Calling third-party REST APIs in a Remedy application

As a developer, you can call third-party REST APIs to update the Remedy application by using  Developer Studio . You can call third-party REST APIs in a Remedy application, if a third-party application exposes its REST APIs. 

You can call third-party REST APIs directly by using a filter having Set Fields action with REST API as a data source. This filter enables you to define a one-time configuration for the third-party REST API that you want to call in Remedy workflows. You can use different HTTP methods such as GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE. 

The following video (2:54) describes how to create a filter for calling a third-party REST API to update a Remedy application.

Before you begin

Ensure that:

• The third-party application has exposed its REST APIs.
• You must have complete knowledge about the third-party REST services such as authentication mechanism, headers, endpoints, and parameters.
• If you plan to use Oauth2, OAuth2JWT, or RSSO authentication method, you must perform necessary steps such as creating client ID, creating client secret, depending on the requirement of the third-party application.
• A new filter with Set Field action is created. 

Process of calling third-party REST API in a Remedy application

To call a third-party REST API, create a Set Fields action with REST API as the data source. You can send or can receive data from a third-party application. The Set Fields filter action invokes the REST service. 

The following diagram depicts the process flow of calling a third-party REST API in a Remedy application:

The following table describes the process of calling the third-party REST API in a Remedy application:

Task 1—To a select a data source

1. Select the filter that you have created and expand the Other Definitions panel.
2. Expand the If actions panel.
3. Expand the Set Fields REST API | Get panel.
4. From the Data Source list, select REST API.
   
   
   

Task 2—To select HTTP method and content type

1. Expand the HTTP Method and Content Type panel.

2. From the HTTP Method list, select a method from the following options:
   

   Method	Description
   GET	To retrieve a resource from the third-party application.
   POST	To create a resource in the third-party application.
   PUT	To modify a resource in the third-party application.
   DELETE	To delete a resource from the third-party application.

3. From the Content-Type list, select application/json.
   Currently, we support only the application/json Content Type.
   
   

Task 3—To define the URI

The URI is composed of the Base URL (that includes protocol, server name, and port), resource path (/v1/employees), and query parameters. A question mark is added after appending the base URL and the resource path, for example, http://dummy.restapiexample.com/v1/employees?paramName1=value1¶mName2=value2.

Before adding URI, path parameters, or query parameters, complete the HTTP encoding.

Perform the following steps to define URI:

1. Expand the URI, Path and Query Params panel.
2. In the Base URI: field, enter the base URL of the third-party application. 
   For example: http://dummy.restapiexample.com
3. (Optional) In the Path Params field, enter the path parameters for the base URL. 
   You can combine the path parameters with the base URL. Path parameter creates an endpoint URL.
   For example: /v1/employees
4. (Optional) To enter the key-value pair for the query parameters, In the Query Params table, click Add. 
   These parameters are passed as a part of your request.
   

You can use the URL-Safe-Encode command to encode the special characters in the URL. For more information, see Process commands.

Task 4—To configure authentication information

1. Expand the Authentication panel.

   • You must know the authentication method, which the third-party application supports.

   • For Oauth2, OAuth2JWT, and RSSO authentication types, the  AR System server communicates with an external server. The logic is triggered through a workflow. The workflow shares the admin context to the AR application. Therefore, no user context is involved in such external calls.

2. From the Type list, select an authentication method. 

   • (Optional) If you are setting authentication method to retrieve attachment data from a third-party application, you must specify the authentication URL by using the absolute path.
     For example, https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token

   • You must know the authentication keys for a specific authentication type that the third-party application supports.

   Authentication options

   • NOAUTH

   • BASIC

   • OAuth2

   • OAuth2JWT

   • AR-JWT

   • RSSO

   NOAUTH

   No authentication required. In the Auth Parameters table, do not enter any authentication parameter. 
   

   BASIC

   This method authenticates by using the user name and password.

   In the Auth Parameters table, enter the user name and password as keys and define values.
   
   
   Example of Basic authentication
   

   Key	Value
   username	Demo
   password	Demo123

   OAuth2

   This method fetches a token from a third-party authentication server by using OAuth2 parameters. If the token expires, the  AR System server automatically fetches a new token. You can use the token to access a third-party REST resource.

   The following example shows key value pair required for Twitter. You can use this framework as per your requirement.
   In the Auth Parameters table, enter the authentication keys and values applicable for the OAuth2 authentication.

   
   Example of authenticating Twitter API
   In this example, as per Twitter requirement, the Client ID and Client Secret are created by using a Twitter development account.
   

   Key	Value
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_METHOD	POST
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_PATH	https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token
   TOKEN_AUTH_CONTENT_LOCATION_KEY	REQUEST_BODY
   TOKEN_AUTH_AUTH_TOKEN_NAME	Bearer
   TOKEN_AUTH_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE	application/x-www-form-urlencoded
   AUTH_KEYgrant_type	client_credentials
   AUTH_KEYusername	<your client ID>
   AUTH_KEYpassword	<your client secret>

   OAuth2JWT

   This authentication method enables login access to a third-party application without exposing user account credentials and information.

   In the Auth Parameters table, enter the authentication keys and values applicable for the OAuth2JWT authentication.
   
   Example of fetching a token from Google API
   In this example, as per Google's requirement, other parameters apart from Client ID and Client Secret are created.
   

   Key	Value
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_METHOD	POST

   AUTH_KEYOAUTH2JWT_JWT_SECRET_KEY	<your private key>
   AUTH_KEYOAUTH2JWT_JWT_TOKEN_ID_KEY_NAME	assertion

   AR-JWT

   The  AR System server  performs authentication mechanisms to validate the credentials of a token. If the credentials are valid, the  AR System server  generates a JSON Web Token (JWT). You can use the token to access a Remedy REST resource.

   In the Auth Parameters table, enter the authentication keys and values applicable for the AR-JWT authentication.

   
   Example of key value pair for AR-JWT authentication
   

   Key	Value
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_METHOD	Post

   TOKEN_AUTH_AUTH_TOKEN_NAME	AR-JWT
   TOKEN_AUTH_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE	application/x-www-form-urlencoded

   
   RSSO
   

   BMC Helix Single Sign-On  (RSSO) is an authentication system that supports SAML V2.0 and  Action Request System authentication protocols and provides single sign-on and single sign-off for users of BMC products.

   In the Auth Parameters table, enter the authentication keys and values applicable for the RSSO authentication.

   
   Example of key value pair for RSSO authentication
   

   Key	Value
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_METHOD	POST
   TOKEN_AUTH_URI_PATH	http://servername:8080/rsso/oauth2/token

   AUTH_KEYclient_id	<Your client ID>
   AUTH_KEYclient_secret	<Your client secret>
   AUTH_KEYusername	QATEST
   AUTH_KEYuser_assertion_key	<Your user assertion key value>

3. In the Auth Parameters table, click Add to add the authentication parameters.

Refer to the following table to see the details about the key value pair used in authentication:

Adding additional header for token-based authentication

You can add a custom header for token-based authentication, such as OAuth2,  OAuth2JWT, AR-JWT, and RSSO. The AUTH_HEADER parameter enables you to pass authentication information. The string after AUTH_HEADER is passed to the header name and value is the value portion in the header.

Refer to the following AR-JWT authentication example:

Additional parameters for calling a third-party REST API through a proxy server

Use the following parameters to make a call to proxy server:

Keys supported by different authentication types

The keys are case-sensitive. The following table describes the list of valid keys supported by different REST API authentication types:

Task 5—(Optional) To add customized header

1. Expand the Custom Header panel.
2. To add request header, in the Custom Headers table, click Add. 
   These headers send an additional information to the third- party REST API. 
   This can be any custom header.  
   

Task 6—To define request response mapping

1. Expand the Request/Response panel.
2. Expand the Static Body panel.
3. (Optional) In the Static Body panel, enter any static request that needs to be sent in the HTTP request. 
   Static body value can be derived dynamically from the field value on the form.
   Request mapping takes precedence over Static Body.
   
   
4. Expand the Request Mapping panel.
   This panel enables you to send data from the AR form field and receive a JSON response.  
   

5. To add fields from the AR form, in the Request Mapping table, click Add. 
   For information about populating the Request Mapping table, see the following examples:

   Request mapping
   The primary key is fetched from the parent form. In this case, empid is the primary key in the parent form. The foreign key in the current form is matched against the primary key of the parent form. When you get data from JSON, the distinguishing key determines the entries to create, update, or delete from the database.

   JSON key	Current form name	Parent form name	Field name	Primary key	Foreign key	Distinguishing key	JSON data type	Child array index
   values|empname	employee		empname				STRING	-1 or NULL
   values|empcompany	employee		empcompany				STRING	-1 or NULL

   Response mapping

   JSON key	Current form name	Parent form name	Field name	Primary key	Foreign key	Distinguishing key	JSON data type	Child array index

   values|Full Name	restForm		fullname				STRING	NULL

   Example of using PUT method to retrieve data from JSON response and set it in an AR form that has parent-child relationship
   
   Response mapping
   The primary key is fetched from the parent form. In this case, empid is the primary key in the parent form. The foreign key in the current form is matched against the primary key of the parent form. When you get data in AR form, the distinguishing key determines the entries to create, update, or delete from the database.

   JSON key	Current form name	Parent form name	Field name	Primary key	Foreign key	Distinguishing key	JSON data type	Child array index
   values|empname	employee		empname				STRING	-1 or NULL
   values|empcompany	employee		empcompany				STRING	-1 or NULL
   _embedded|assoc-empoyeeaddressdirect| values|addempid	address	employee	addempid	empid	addempid	addid	STRING	-1 or NULL
   _embedded|assoc-empoyeeaddressdirect |values|addid	address	employee	addid	empid	addempid	addid	STRING	-1 or NULL
   _embedded|assoc-empoyeeaddressdirect| values|adddetail	address	employee	adddetail	empid	addempid	addid	STRING	-1 or NULL

   If you set parent-child relationship by using data in the JSON Array node, the array elements use the same flow of events. However, if you perform a simple mapping to a key residing in a JSON array and if multiple child nodes are present in that JSON array node, then the  AR System server concatenates all child key node values and produces a string that is mapped as a single mapping element. The #ARRAYSEP# string is used as a delimiter string.

   The following table describes the columns of request and response mapping table:

   Table column	Description
   JSON Key	Context path to the JSON key. Retrieve the value of the JSON key and set it in the AR form.  value|<JSON key>
   Current Form	Request mapping: The form from where data is retrieved. Response mapping: The form where data is set.
   Parent Form	When there is a parent-child relationship between forms, specify the parent form of the current form.
   Field Name	Request mapping: Field on the current form from where data is sent. Response mapping: Field on the current form from where data is updated.
   Primary Key	When there is a parent-child relationship between form, this is the Field ID on the parent form.
   Foreign Key	When there is a parent-child relationship between form, this is the Field ID on the current form. The value of foreign key is matched against the value of the designated primary key in the parent form.
   Distinguishing Key	When there is a parent-child relationship between form, this is the unique key to find the child record to be created, updated, or deleted.
   JSON Type	Request mapping: Defines the value of response JSON. Valid values: INTEGER(1) STRING(2) NULL(3) NUMERIC(4) ARRAY_OF_BOOLEAN(10) ARRAY_OF_INTEGER(11) ARRAY_OF_STRING(12) ARRAY_OF_NULL(13) ARRAY_OF_NUMERIC(14) Response mapping: Not applicable.
   Child Array Index	When there is a parent-child relationship between form, Child Array Index starts the child array element.
   Date/Time Format	In this column, you can specify the format in which the information from the Date/Time field is to be sent out of a Remedy application. For example, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ. If you don't specify any format, the default format is used to send the date and time information. Also, if you set any invalid format in Remedy Developer Studio, the default date and time format is used.

   You can use dynamic field values in all fields except for the JSON key in the request response mapping.

Send multiple responses from one field

If you have a character field as source field, you can send multiple responses from one field without defining parent-child relationship by using one of the following JSON Types:

• ARRAY_OF_BOOLEAN(10)
• ARRAY_OF_INTEGER(11)
• ARRAY_OF_STRING(12)
• ARRAY_OF_NULL(13)
• ARRAY_OF_NUMERIC(14)

When you define these values, the AR System server  splits the values based on comma and creates an element of array.
For example, the Address field contains multiple values, such as, House number, Street, Postal Code. To fetch all values, define ARRAY_OF_STRING(12) JSON Type for the Address field. The  AR System server  returns a comma separated list of values available for the Address field.

Task 7—(Optional) To add attachment data information

1. Expand the Multipart Info panel.
   The Multipart information panel enables you to send the attachment data from the AR form attachment fields to a third-party application and to fetch attachment data from a third-party application and store them in the AR form attachment field.
   
   
2. To add an attachment, in the Multipart Info table, click Add.
   The attachment data is in binary format. 

Response mapping for attachment data 

The response contains the following:

1. (Optional) Attachment field file name
2. (Optional) Size
3. Attachment URL to external system

When you set the response mapping for attachment data, you must use attributes in the given order. If you do not want to set the optional attributes, you must assign keys to a non-existent node. You must assign existent and non-existent nodes to the response mapping. 

Request mapping for attachment data

Consider the following points when you perform request mapping for attachment data:

• The  AR System server sends data from an attachment field in multiple parts. 
• The first part is the JSON for the non-attachment field type. 
• The subsequent parts are binary attachment data. 
• The parts are separated by using keys. 
• We support the content disposition only for form data.
• We do not support child form attachment entries for the parent-child relationship.

--W3NByNRZZYy4ALu6xeZzvWXU3NVmYUxoRB
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="entry"  /** part 1 - with key as name="entry" **/

Adding an attachment

For more information about attachment handling, see Knowledge Article number 000199341 (Support logon ID required).

Sending text field values by using the Multipart Info panel

The Multipart Info panel also supports form field values. You can send a form field along with attachments to a third-party REST API. However, the Multipart Info panel does not support the Parent-child relationship between forms.

The following code sample shows sending a field value (table_name=Incident) along with an attachment (SampleTest.txt). This generates a multipart payload with both, the field and the attachment.

--Boundary_22_1819824054_1659743653382
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="entry"

{"file1":"SampleTest.txt"}
--Boundary_22_1819824054_1659743653382
content-disposition: form-data; name="table_name"

Incident
--Boundary_22_1819824054_1659743653382
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: form-data; filename="SampleTest.txt"; name="uploadFile"

Sample Test1
Sample Test2
Sample Test3
--Boundary_22_1819824054_1659743653382

Adding attachment by using static body and content type in the custom header

You can add attachments by using static body section and specifying the content type in the custom header section.
The following screenshot shows an attachment added to Statis Body with 536870914 Field ID:

The Content Type must have  a value if you want to send an attachment through Static Body by using the format given in the example.
Example: ATTACHMENTDATA(536870914)

For Custom Headers, you can obtain the value of Content-Type from a sample Postman request.

If you add an attachment by using the Static Body, do not enter attachment details in the Multipart Info panel. The attachment details in the Multipart Info panel takes precedence over the information added in the Static Body.

Enabling two-way SSL support for BMC Helix Innovation Suite REST API 

When calling a BMC Helix Innovation Suite REST API, you can upload server certificate and Public or Private key into the truststore and keystore.  Before using two-way SSL support, make sure that the Base URI and the Authentication URI use the HTTPS protocol. 

The following table lists the authentication parameters you use for the two-way SSL support. These parameters are applicable for all authentication types.

Example: Enabling two-way SSL when calling a BMC Helix Innovation Suite REST API

1. In the jetty-http.xml file, located in the /opt/bmc/ars/jetty/etc folder, uncomment HTTPS section.

2. Add the following parameters in the jetty-http.xml file.

   • <Set name="NeedClientAuth">true</Set>

   • <Set name="EndpointIdentificationAlgorithm"></Set>
     See the example: 

     <New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory">
     <Set name="KeyStorePath">C:\mykeystore\keystore.jks</Set>
     <Set name="KeyManagerPassword">test1234</Set>
     <Set name="KeyStorePassword">test1234</Set>
     <Set name="TrustStorePath">C:\mykeystore\keystore.jks</Set>
     <Set name="TrustStorePassword">test1234</Set>
     
     <!-- new parameters for 2 way SSL -->
     <Set name="NeedClientAuth">true</Set>
     <Set name="EndpointIdentificationAlgorithm"></Set>

3. Create a self-signed certificate with different passwords  for client, such as client.jks and server, such as server.jks. For more information about creating self-signed certificates, see 2024-04-18_02-16-06_Configuring the REST API by using SSL certificates.

4. Place both certificates in a folder.
   For example, c:\\mystore\.

5. Update the jetty-http.xml file as shown in the example below:

   <New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory">
       [Specify Server Certificate in Keystore]
                  <Set name="KeyStorePath">C:\\mykeystore\\server.jks</Set>
                  <Set name="KeyManagerPassword">123</Set>
       <Set name="KeyStorePassword">123</Set>
                  [Specify Client Certificate in Truststore]
       <Set name="TrustStorePath">C:\\mykeystore\\client.jks</Set>
       <Set name="TrustStorePassword">secret</Set>
                  <Set name="NeedClientAuth">true</Set>
       <Set name="EndpointIdentificationAlgorithm"></Set>

6. Modify the default value as shown in the example below:

   <Arg name="sniHostCheck" type="boolean"><Property name="jetty.ssl.sniHostCheck" default="false"/></Arg>

7. Open Filter set field option for the REST API Data Source and add or update the following details:

   • BASE URI :https://<hostname>:8443/api/

   • Authentication - Type (AR-JWT)

   • TOKEN_AUTH_URI_METHOD: POST

   • TOKEN_AUTH_URI_PATH:jwt/login

   • TOKEN_AUTH_CONTENT_LOCATION_KEY: REQUEST_BODY

   • TOKEN_AUTH_CONTENT_BODY:username=Demo&password=xyz123

   • TOKEN_AUTH_AUTH_TOKEN_NAME: AR-JWT

   • TOKEN_AUTH_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

   • USE_STRICT_SSL: true

   • KEYSTORE_LOCATION: C:\\mykeystore\\client.jks
     This is the client configuration. Add client certificate in its keystore.

   • KEYSTORE_SCRT: secret

   • TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION: C:\\mykeystore\\server.jks

   • TRUSTSTORE_SCRT: 123

8. Perform response mapping as per your requirement. For more information see, Defining request and response mapping.

After the steps are complete, create a record on a form and modify it. The GET call triggers.
