Plug-ins from service catalog using .net?

[Legacy User]

Hi! 

I know I can create a jar-file plugin and use it from Designer forms. Is it possible to do the same using .net?

I know how to call my process from .net but I want to trigger .net project from Designer forms...

Thanks in advance!

Good Afternoon Jhonny.
 
As I do know that the below information is out of scope of the CA Service Catalog product.
However, I just want to share this information with you.
To show there is some kind of 'intermediate' (bridge) needed to get a .NET working as a 'jar'.
As shown in this link:

Another information I found:

And

Thanks in advance for your understanding and kind regards, Louis van Amelsfort.

Hi Jhonny,

 

I am not very sure if you will be accommodate .Net code.

 

However, I wanted you to go though this below document which might give you an understanding how to use API plug-ins as an substitute

Hi Jhonny,

 

Depends on what you need from your .net application, does it have a rest api to access it? If it does, and if you are comfortable enough, you can create a javascript function that make a call to your rest api.

Hi Marcel! 

 

What I want is to start a request form from my .net solution which calls a process which does some database changes.

Do you mean calling rest api from designer forms? In that case, do you know if there is an example/documentation how to do it?

Hi Jhonny,

you could even call pam directly, as the latest version has rest (What's in CA Process Automation 04.3.02 ? - CA Process Automation - 04.3.02 - CA Technologies Documentation ) but as I said, you have to be comfortable with doing so. 

As this is more a javascript developer solution, I recommend this StackOverflow question (html - How to call a REST web service API from Javascript button Handler? - Stack Overflow ) 

 

You can create said button in service catalog using this example  Button option in service catalog Form 

Or just create a function and call it
