This is a demo application to demonstrate how to consume the IM services from the OpenText Cloud Platform.
Install VS Code from the following URL: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
From the extensions View in VS Code, install the OpenText™ Thrust Studio extension pack.
We recommend you go through the detailed tutorial (that explains how to build the Contract Approval application). The tutorial is available under HELP AND FEEDBACK in the OpenText Cloud Developer Tools view (Ot icon in the VS Code Activity Bar) or via this link: https://mimage.opentext.com/ot/2/devx/vscode/latest/vscode-tutorial.pdf.
Although highly recommended, in case you don't want to go through the tutorial (yet), you can alternatively proceed with the below steps.
To allow deploying the application to your developer organization in the OpenText Cloud Platform, add an organization profile as described in the user guide. The user guide is available under HELP AND FEEDBACK in the OpenText Cloud Developer Tools view (Ot icon in the VS Code Activity Bar) or via this link: https://mimage.opentext.com/ot/2/devx/vscode/latest/vscode-userguide.pdf.
Deploy the application project (cf. user guide).
The API client credentials need to be configured from within the application code. Please replace the placeholders for the tenant id and client public id in the .env file with the tenant id and the client public id for the deployed application project (returned when deploying the project to the OpenText Cloud Platform).
In the Admin Center (organization link available under the Console tab when logged in to developer.opentext.com), navigate to /[your organization name]/Apps/Contract Approval/Clients and add https://localhost:4000 as redirect URL for the Public service client.
To be able to fully test the application, you need a user in the line_managers and risk_managers groups. You can optionally also add a user in the administrators and/or contract_approval_users groups. For basic testing, you could also just add one single user to both the line_managers and risk_managers groups, which will result in showing both the Line Manager and Risk Manager tasks tabs in the application. This allows the single user to approve/reject as both Line Manager and Risk Manager.
To add a user to an application group, proceed as follows:
In the Admin Center, navigate to /[your organization name]/Tenants/[your tenant name]/Apps/Contract Approval and select Groups from the User management section. Edit both the line_managers and risk_managers groups to add your user(s).
Download and install Node.js (with npm) from https://nodejs.org/en/download
To run the application using Node.js follow these steps.
Open a terminal in VS Code and run the following commands (from the project root).
npm install
npm start
The application will be automatically opened in the browser at https://localhost:4000
