Creating a sandbox environment by using the Custom Integration template

BMC Helix Developer Tools provides 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

The following section helps you to create a sandbox integration environment by using the Custom Integration template.

1. On BMC Helix Portal, click BMC Helix Developer Tools.
2. Click Available integrations.
3. On the Custom Integration product 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 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 from Integrations > Configured Integrations as shown in the following example:
   
   The configured tile will show the following details:
   • 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 created a sandbox integration environment, explore the directory structure and the out-of-the-box configuration files available in this sandbox integration environment.
