ServiceNow Fields and Entities Available for Synchronization

    This page describes the reference of the entities and fields supported for synchronization from the ServiceNow instance.

    Note: Starting from version 5.0.28, Exalate can sync any entity from ServiceNow. For more information check How to sync any entity in Exalate for ServiceNow.

    Please DO NOT use the following construct:

    entity.work_notes += replica.addedComments

    In ServiceNow, updating entity.work_notes results in a single new work_note containing the provided content. Because of the original entity.work_notes (which is provided to the incoming sync) contains all the work notes of the entity, the statement above will effectively duplicate the work_notes. If  you were to repeat this a couple of times, the results, it would compound the problem considerably. Instead, you can update work notes as internal comments. For more information check How to Sync Comments in ServiceNow.

    Note: The proxy user needs to have access to the appropriate entities in order to sync them - check for more information on the permissions page.
