Dear All,
We planning to implement the External Approval Policy in vRA7.0 with EBS integration. For approver email, we need to check the external DB from external Workflow. So, I am planning with the below steps, can you please let me know whether my planning is correct or not ? Do you propose some other solution for this scenario. ?
Step 1 : Configure Pre-Approval Event to External Approval Policy Workflow and link with EBS in vRA7.0
Step 2 : Develop External Workflow to extract the Payload about the Request and do following steps in workflow.
Step 3 : Integrate SQL with the Database provided to fetch Requester Managers Email id/Approver's email id.
Step 4: Integrate SMTP/MAIL plugin to send mail to Manager Email from a generic mail id e.g. vRAApprovals@xxxxx.com.
Step 5: Develop Logic to regular lookup for the response from the Manager "Approved" / "Rejected" with the above account/email id.
Step 6 : Based on the Mail response complete the workflow as "Approved" or "Rejected".
Thanks,
Koushik
