Scheduled bulk shares allow for the scheduling of one or more bulk shares to occur daily, weekly, monthly, once at a specified time, periodically at specified times (custom), or on demand (immediately). After creating a bulk share, you can add that bulk share as a child record to run under the schedule specified within your scheduled bulk share.
Prerequisites
First, you will need to create a bulk share.
Procedure
To create a DataSync Express scheduled bulk share, follow these steps:
Log into ServiceNow and navigate to Perspectium DataSync Express > DataSync Express > Scheduled Bulk Share.
At the top of the form next to Scheduled Bulk Share, click the New button.
In the Name field, type any name for your scheduled bulk configuration.
From the Run dropdown, choose when you want your scheduled bulk share to run. Run options include:
Option | Scheduled bulk share will run... |
Daily | Every day at a specified time of day |
Weekly | Every week at a specified day and time of day |
Monthly | Every month at a specified day and time of day |
Periodically | At a custom interval (e.g., every 5 days) at a specified time of day |
Once | Once at a specified date and time |
On Demand | Immediately |
If selecting a Run option where a time of day should be specified, type the hours, minutes, and seconds in each respective textbox next to the Time field.
At the bottom left-hand corner of the form, click the Submit button to save the configurations for your scheduled bulk configuration.
From the resulting list of scheduled bulk share, click back into the scheduled bulk share that you created in Step #5.
Locate the Bulk Configurations list at the bottom of the form. Here, you can either click New and then follow the steps to create a bulk share or click Edit… and add a previously created bulk share to run under the schedule that you have created.
NOTE: After creating a scheduled bulk share, data from your ServiceNow instance should start automatically syncing with the Perspectium Cloud database. To ensure that your database meets the requirements for your DataSync Express integration, see Agent Requirements.
