ServiceNow connector configuration
To add the connector:
In Connector name, enter a unique name for this connector.
You should use a naming convention for connector names:
<connector type> <scope> <RCR>
Scope describes where data is coming from or what it's being used for. For example Demo, Test, Lab, Q2 Audit.
- In URL, enter location of ServiceNow.
- In User Name, enter the name of the account you want to use to connect to Tachyon.
- In Password, enter the password for this account.
- In Application Scope, enter the scope being used in ServiceNow
- Click Add.
After adding the connector, please refer to:
- Connectors page: Test a connector - to test the connector configuration
- Connectors page: Execute a connector sync action - to actually sync data into a repository
- Connectors page: Delete a connector
Check the Run Consolidation Reports checkbox if you want consolidation actions to be processed each time the Sync Data action is executed for the connector.
This can lead to unnecessary processing if you enable this on more than one connector. The recommended method of processing consolidation actions is to schedule the action Generate Report - Basic Inventory Consolidation to execute after the Sync Data actions have run for all connectors. This will execute the remaining consolidation actions. Alternatively check the Run Consolidation Reports checkbox on one of your connectors. You can view action processes in Settings→Process log .
ServiceNow Terms Glossary
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Application Scope | An application scope is a logical boundary in ServiceNow which allows restricted access to services inside ServiceNow portal. Anything that you work upon must come under an application scope in ServiceNow. Every instance of ServiceNow comes with a default application scope called “Global” scope. So, any item e.g. incident, request item, variable set etc. that you create will come under the scope of “Global” application scope. For more information, please refer to: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/kingston-application-development/page/build/applications/concept/c_ApplicationScope.html. |
Application Menu | The application menu forms the main navigational flow of the website. Every top level node in left navigation pane is an application menu e.g. Self-Service, Benchmarks, Guided Setup etc. For more information, please refer to: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/kingston-platform-user-interface/page/use/navigation/concept/c_ApplicationNavigation.html. |
