The getCurrentChangeRequest operation retrieves a single Change_Request record from ServiceNow. You must pass in the table name of the record you want to retrieve, and a Change Request must be present in the deployment or utility step to use this operation. It is not suitable for deployment through a release.

This operation is probably best suited for projects that require a Change Management Ticket. In other cases, the ticket will not be found.

This operation will return a result that is an array with one record in it.

You must configure at least one ServiceNow Instance to use this operation.

Version 4.6.0.2 or newer of FlexDeploy is needed to use this operation.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
ServiceNow Instance Code	`FDSN_INSTANCE_CODE`	Yes	The instance Code of the ServiceNow Instance created under Topology that you will connect to. The URL, PORT, USERNAME, and PASSWORD are taken from the instance.
Request Media Type	`FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE`	Yes	Choose to return the data in JSON or XML format. If you select JSON, then use JSONPATH notation in the path expression inputs (see https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath) If you select XML, then use XPATH notation in the path expression inputs.
Fail workflow if http response code over 200	`FDSN_FAIL_IF_HTTP_CODE_OVER_200`	No	If true, any http code over 200 will fail the step and the workflow.
Path Expression 1	`FDSN_PATH_EXPRESSION_1`	No	Use XPATH or JSONPATH notation to return part of the response back to the workflow as `FDSN_OUTPUT_1`. See `FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE` for more information
Path Expression 2	`FDSN_PATH_EXPRESSION_2`	No	Use XPATH or JSONPATH notation to return part of the response back to the workflow as `FDSN_OUTPUT_2`. See `FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE` for more information
Path Expression 3	`FDSN_PATH_EXPRESSION_3`	No	Use XPATH or JSONPATH notation to return part of the response back to the workflow as `FDSN_OUTPUT_3`. See `FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE` for more information
Path Expression 4	`FDSN_PATH_EXPRESSION_4`	No	Use XPATH or JSONPATH notation to return part of the response back to the workflow as `FDSN_OUTPUT_4`. See `FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE` for more information
Path Expression 5	`FDSN_PATH_EXPRESSION_5`	No	Use XPATH or JSONPATH notation to return part of the response back to the workflow as `FDSN_OUTPUT_5`. See `FDR_REQUEST_MEDIA_TYPE` for more information
