ServiceNow Module Overview Installation Managing ServiceNow Incidents from One Identity Manager One Identity Manager for Service Catalog Logging Troubleshooting

Configuration Parameters

The details related to configuration parameters in the One Identity Manager ServiceNow App are listed below Configuration parameters can be found under One Identity Manager ServiceNow App in the Application navigator. Sysadmin/Appadmin would be able to configure these parameters. Initially when the One Identity Manager Service App is configured for the first time the scheduled job must be executed manually once for the configuration parameters to be available for the user to edit.

To execute the Scheduled job follow the below steps:

  1. Open the ServiceNow instance.

  2. Navigate to System Definition | Scheduled jobs.

  3. Search for InitializeConfigurationParametersAndLoadData and select it.

  4. Click on Execute button to execute the background job and initialize the configuration parameters

Initial load from One Identity Manager to ServiceNow

Once the ServiceNow App is installed and configured, the One Identity Manager entities including Person, Service Category and Service Items must be synchronized to the ServiceNow instance. The import of data can be done using a scheduled job.

Scheduled execution

The One Identity Manager for Service Catalog App includes a scheduled server script that imports the One Identity Manager Employees and IT Shop Categories and Items into ServiceNow. You can find this by navigating to System Definition | Scheduled jobs in a ServiceNow instance and searching for InitializeConfigurationParametersAndLoadData.

  • This server scheduled script executes in the background at the specified time interval.

  • Run and Time fields can be customized to schedule the job.

  • By default the scheduled job runs at 12:00:00 GMT daily.

NOTE: One Identity recommends to have the schedule script running during non peak hours.
