While Outbound Table Maps are more built to be an Outbound Transform Map, the Inbound Table Maps function more as a Subscribe definition. They will direct the traffic to an Import Set Table where a ServiceNow Transform Map will then do the processing.
Inbound Table Maps will map inbound replication messages to a ServiceNow table based on the Topic and Type specified in the message. For example: a record coming in with the “topic=siam” and the “type=common_incident” will be mapped to the “u_psp_common_incident” Import Set Table. The corresponding Transform Map will then process the record appropriately.
Procedure
To create an Inbound Table Map, follow these steps:
Create a new Table Map
Go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Table Maps and click the New button. On the new form that opens up, enter a Name for the table map and set the Direction = Inbound
Enter the Topic of the inbound message
Enter the value for the Topic of inbound messages that will be processed by this table map
Enter the Type of the inbound message
Enter the value for the Type field of inbound messages that will be processed by this table map. The values entered for Topic and Type will be used in combination (i.e. messages that have both the Topic and Type as specified will be processed by this inbound table map).
Enter the Target table
Enter the target table where this table map should send the records to (generally an import set table)
That is all that is necessary for the base Inbound Table Map. You will then of course want to make sure your Import Set table and Transform Map are set up correctly as well.
