Advanced Services

[sbeaver]

Long story short, I have taken a standard blue print and recreated it in the advanced services creating actions for all the XML and I have things working great from a VCO point of view so I adding the request for a catalog item as an advanced service and what I am really looking for is how to get the value of the person that is logged and requested this service to use as the owner.  I would really like to have it pre-populate as well as be able to be able to search for others but so fat I have not been successful when trying to change the value of the owner field to use external action to get current user but I have found when the requests are made they are made from service accounts and such.

So what am I missing or need to do in the form designer to pull the current vCAC logged in user to the owner field?  Inquiring minds need to know

Thanks

Take a look at what Omer did here, it may be helpful: http://elasticskies.com/vcac-xaas-requester-details/

One thing to make sure you keep in mind is that, if you're using a shared account to connect back to CAFE, that account needs to be a support user for the business group (I think) to properly provision as a specified owner... but, don't quote me on that.

Well the current requestor in the ASD form is always available through the request.

Add __asd_requestedBy to your Workflow Inputs.

Then you can either assign it to a runtime variable or use it directly in your script.  If you are leveraging a REST call, you would replace the requestedFor fields with the owner value.

"requestedFor":__asd_requestedBy

....

{"key":"requestedFor", "value":{"type":"string", "value":__asd_requestedBy}}
