One Identity Manager for Service Catalog

Unable to load data in to ServiceNow from One Identity Manager

Test to make sure the One Identity Manager App server is accessible from ServiceNow. After executing the Initial Synchronization in section (see Initial load from One Identity Manager to ServiceNow), in case the data is not loaded into the application tables, verify the below steps:

  1. Navigate to the application logs to check for any error related to the connectivity between ServiceNow and One Identity Manager application server

  2. Verify that One Identity Manager App server is accessible through the browser using the same credentials and Application server URL provided in the configuration

Catalog Page load takes long time to load

Make sure the catalog page full synchronization configuration parameter (page_load_data_from_oneim_server_full_load) has been turned off.

Sample ServiceNow Response

The ServiceNow response for the tickets has many attributes which can be retrieved in GET scenarios and can be updated for PUT/POST scenarios. Please refer Table API documentation at https://docs.servicenow.com to see a sample response from ServiceNow.

One Identity Manager uses the following sets of attributes for Ticket Management / Incident Management:

  • sys_id - This attribute contains the ServiceNow system id that is used in processing all the processes configured for ServiceNow

  • state - This attribute is responsible for tracking the ticket status and updating One Identity Manager accordingly

  • incnumber - This attribute holds the incident number of the ticket
