Create ticket in BMC Remedy via Java

Question

I need a Java class to submit tickets to BMC Remedy's Helpdesk product.

Wondering if anyone has done this already and is willing to share either code, or experience.

Answer 1

Geoff,
Have a look below. This will create a bare bones ticket in the HPD:Help Desk form of v7. Hope this helps.

try{

//And here we create the entry itself, printing out the EntryID we get back

String EntryId = context.createEntry("HPD:Help Desk", newEntry);

System.out.println("Request ID = "+EntryId);

}

catch(ARException arException){

arException.printStackTrace();

}
