Creating a sandbox environment by using the Custom Integration template

BMC Helix Developer Toolsprovides a Custom Integration template to facilitate custom third-party integrations. As an integration developer, create a sandbox environment by using the Custom Integration template. 

Before you begin

Ensure that you have downloaded and installed the connector. Without the connector, you cannot proceed with the integration.

To create a sandbox integration environment by using the Custom Integration template

1. On BMC Helix Portal, click Launch on the BMC Helix Developer Tools tile.
2. Click Available integrations.
3. On the Custom Integration tile, click Configure.
   
    
4. Provide an integration name.
   For example, if you plan to use this integration to run or test an example configuration file, name the integration as Custom_Integration_Demo.
5. Click Configure to configure the integration.
   This action creates a sandbox integration environment that has a few out-of-the-box directories and example pipeline configuration files.
6. You can view the added integration on the Configured Integrations tab on the Integrations page, as shown in the following example:
   
   The configured tile shows the following details:
   • The name of the integration with its build number.
   • The name of the user who modified the integration along with the time of the modification. In this example, it is the admin user.
   • The connector status. In this example, the status is Active.

Where to go from here

After you have create a sandbox integration environment, explore the default sandbox directory structure and configuration files.
