workflow.info(JSON.stringify(requestParams, null, 2));
workflow.scratchpad.requestParameters = JSON.stringify(requestParams);
In requestParams, the required Automation Director parameter Key and Value are set. You can also
specify the service run schedule as a task setting. For details on the built-in service parameters and task
settings, refer to "Submitting a service" in the HPE XP7 Automation Director REST API User and
Reference Guide.
After running the Automation Director service and obtaining the result, you can implement post-
processing according to the use case, such as updating the ticket as is shown in the sample workflow.
Output from Invoke Automation Service sub-workflow
The output of the Invoke Automation Service sub-workflow (workflow.scratchpad.hadresult) includes the
following:
• status: Completed, Failed, or Canceled.
• data: JSON format data of the Automation Director service output property values obtained by using
the Automation Director "Getting a list of property values" REST API.
• message: Error message (only when an error occurs).
You can easily obtain the Automation Director service output property values provided in JSON format to
use with a method defined in the AutomationClientLibrary. The sample code is as follows:
var result = workflow.scratchpad.hadresult;
allocatedVolume = AutomationClientLibrary.findPropertyByValue (result.data,
'keyName', 'LUNPathConfigurationInformation').value;
JSON data by specifying property keyName
workflow.info("Details of added volumes: " +
JSON.stringify(allocatedVolume,null,2));
current["work_notes"] = JSON.stringify(allocatedVolume, null, 2);
