Introduction

\n
\n
\n

The ServiceNow connector is designed to enable communication between Bardioc and ServiceNow. It provides an easy to deploy solution to enable our customers to connect their business processes with Bardioc. The connector supports latest and most used versions of ServiceNow: Paris, Quebec and Rome. It works with these versions without any extra effort.

The connector can be used for any of the most commonly used IT processes such as Incident, Change or Config Items. The beauty of this connector is that it is configurable for most of the features. The customers can enable or disable any of the IT processes using a simple configuration file.

\n\n\nThe connector is designed for a vanilla ServiceNow installation. You need to make sure that your customization in ServiceNow works with the connector. We do not support ServiceNow customizations in the connector.\n

The working mechanism of the connector is based on the data polling technique. The connector keeps track of changes on ServiceNow and Bardioc, if any change is detected, it forwards them to the responsible component. The connector tracks changes in data based on timestamps (supported by ServiceNow). It also keeps track of the last successful record sent so that in case of any loss of data due to network error or any physical incident, the connector can be configured to grab data from the last successful point. This feature is also quite useful when synchronizing history data between or from a certain date time.

One of the biggest challenges with connectors is the data transformation and data mapping. Bardioc understands the \"Almato Standard Data Format\" (SDF) and provides a large list of attributes that covers almost all ITSM tools. ServiceNow has its own data format and communicates accordingly. The connector transforms data from SDF to ServiceNow format and vice versa using a mapping scheme. The most important feature here is the configurable mapping scheme. The connector maps data between both components using an external mapping file. The customers can provide their own mapping logic for data transformation and can decide how the data should be mapped. Note that the connector package also provides a default mapping designed based on expert views.

The connector architecture is designed to support parallel working model (or multi-threaded). The number of parallel processes are easily configured using the configuration file so that the customers can decide based on underlying environment.

The connector package contains an Intro video, the Install guide, the technical guide and the guide for writing transformation files.
