The DataSync Agent can be run in test mode for QA purposes. Test mode means that the Agent will run without performing minimum requirements checks for client performance. 

(info) NOTE: Only follow the steps to configure test mode below if you want to run the Agent in a QA environment as we cannot guarantee the agent will run stable and without performance issues if your environment does meet the minimum requirements.


Prerequisites

(warning) First, you will need to set up one of the Perspectium DataSync Agents.

(warning) You will also need to get started with DataSync for ServiceNow and commit a Perspectium update set that creates transform maps in your ServiceNow instance (To request one of these update sets, contact Perspectium Support).

(warning) Finally, you should stop running your DataSync Agent before making any Agent configuration changes.

Procedure

To install the DataSync Agent in test mode, follow these steps:

Open your agent.xml

Within the <agent> directive, add the self-closing tag <test_mode/>.

Save your agent.xml and restart your agent
