Definition of a webhook used in the examples

To define and register an ISPW webhook in CES go to the CES Administration menu

CES Menu

and select Webhooks

Webhooks page

On the Webhooks page select either add to define a new webhook or edit to modify an existing webhook. The Mainframe_CI_Pipeline_from_Shared_Lib.groovy makes use of the following definitions:

Webhook definition fields

Webhook example

Name

Name of the webhook, e.g. "FTSDEMO Pipeline"

URL

The URL to post the webhook's http request to. In the example pipeline this is:

    http://sonarqube.nasa.cpwr.corp:8080/job/RNU_FTSDEMO_from_Shared_Lib/buildWithParameters?ISPW_Stream=$$stream$$&ISPW_Application=$$application$$&ISPW_Release=$$release$$&ISPW_Assignment=$$assignment$$&ISPW_Container=$$setID$$&ISPW_Container_Type=2&ISPW_Src_Level=$$level$$&ISPW_Owner=$$owner$$

where

  • sonarqube.nasa.cpwr.corp:8080 is the name of Compuware's internal Jenkins server
  • RNU_FTSDEMO_from_Shared_Lib is the name of the pipeline job to trigger
  • buildWithParameters is required since the pipeline job uses parameters

followed by a list of parameter=value pairs. In this list

  • the part left of each = names the parameter name from the pipeline definition
  • the part right of each = is the value to pass to the parameter with $$<parameter-name>$$ denoting parameter values passed from ISPW
  • & separates two pairs

Request method

Will be POST.

Request headers

Depending on the configuration of the Jenkins server you may need addition request headers. Especially if CSRF Protection is activated, you will need an authorization header. Contact your Jenkins administrator for the required value.

Product

Will be ISPW.

Event Criteria

Define the ISPW events that will trigger this webhook.

Application

Specify the ISPW application(s) you want to use this webhook for. Roughly 50 entries are allowed.

The example uses applications RXN1 and RXN3.

Level

Specify the life cycle levels you want to use this webhook for. This is dependent on your specific configuration of ISPW.

The example uses levels DEV1, DEV2, DEV3, with the life cycle for the applications RXN1 and RXN3 looking like the following:

Example life cycle

Event name

One or more events during the operation(s) that trigger the webhook. Events can be:

  • Always
  • Executing
  • Dispatched
  • Ready
  • Closed
  • Completed
  • Failed
  • Terminated

The example uses Completed.

Operations

One ore more ISPW operations that will trigger the webhook.

The example uses Promote.

In summary

Which means in total, that the pipeline job RNU_FTSDEMO_from_Shared_Lib will get triggered whenever a developer has promoted code from levels DEV1, DEV2, or DEV3 within ISPW applications RXN1, or RXN2 and the promote was successfully completed. The following information will be passed from ISPW to the pipeline job:

  • The ISPW stream name $$stream$$ will be passed to pipeline parameter ISPW_Stream
  • The ISPW application name $$application$$ will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Application
  • The ISPW release name $$release$$ will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Release
  • The ISPW assignment name $$assignment$$ will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Assignment
  • The ISPW set ID $$setID$$ will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Container
  • The value 2 will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Container_Type to denote a set ID was passed in the previous parameter
  • The ISPW source level $$level$$ (DEV1, DEV2, or DEV3) will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Src_Level
  • The ISPW user executing the promotion $$owner$$ will be passed to the pipeline parameter ISPW_Owner
