Allow sharing of incidents to Perspectium Support
This feature gives you the option of sending Perspectium-related incidents directly to our support team. Enabling this option will ServiceBond your ServiceNow instance with Perspectium Support, allowing you to stay updated in real time as our support team works on your incident. Here's how:
First, enable the sharing option:
- In your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Check the box labeled Allow sharing of incidents to Perspectium Support.
- Scroll to the bottom and click Save.

Checking this box will create a ServiceNow shared queue (named psp.out.perspectiumdev_support) and dynamic share (named Perspectium Support), which will allow your incidents to be shared to support when the Perspectium Support assignment group is selected for ServiceNow incidents. The Perspectium Support Incident to Common Incident table map and Perspectium Support Common Incident transform map will also be added to your ServiceNow instance. |
Then, to share an incident:
- In your ServiceNow instance, go to Incident > Create New (access this by typing incident in the left navigation menu).
- Fill out the details of your incident in the New record form.
- Make sure to select Perspectium Support from the Assignment group dropdown.
- Click Submit.

Display values do not ensure referential integrity when used to join with other table.s To ensure accurate joining between tables, always rely on the actual sys_id value in the reference field instead. |
Generate debug logging
This feature enables the creation of debug logs in the Log Messages table. You can access these messages at Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Troubleshooting > Logs. To turn on the feature:
- In your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Check the box labeled Enable debug logging for a certain period of time.

Delete error messages older than 1 day in the outbound messages table

- In your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Check the box labeled Delete error messages older than 1 day in the Outbound Messages table.
- Click Save.
Limit bytes or records for outbound message jobs
Perspectium Properties offers two features that allow you to limit the number of bytes or records that can be shared out for each outbound message job. By default, outbound message jobs cannot share out more than 5,000,000 bytes (or 5MB) and 8,000 records per job. Here's how to lower that limit:
- In your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- (If you wish) Enter a byte limit in the field labeled Byte limit for each job that processes outbound messages (MultiOutput Processing job)
- (If you wish) Enter a record limit in the field labeled Record limit for each job that processes outbound messages (MultiOutput Processing job)
- Click Save.

If you enter a byte limit (in step 2), this will take precedence over any byte limit that you enter (step 3). |
Limit the maximum number of messages in the outbound messages table
This feature allows you to set a max limit for records that can appear in the outbound messages table. By default, this limit is set to 1,000,000 outbound messages. Here's how to change this limit:
- In your sharing ServiceNow instance, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Check the box labeled Limit the maximum number of messages in the Outbound Messages table.
- Enter your desired limit in the field labeled Maximum number of messages in the Outbound Messages table (this value can only be changed if you check the box from step 2).
- Click Save.
Perspectium connection error configuration options
To avoid temporary short term connection issues (for example, if there was a single connection issue and the app was able to connect on the next attempt to share data to the Mesh), you can configure how frequently the Perspectium Connection Error notification should check for issues and how many times the issues occur before sending a notification. The default settings tell the application to check every 30 minutes if there are more than 5 connection issues, and send a notification email if that's the case.
To change these default values:
- Go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Scroll to the field labeled Send notification emails in batches of and enter a number to indicate the desired minimum number (batch) of connection errors before sending a notification. The default is set to 5.
- In the field labelled Send notification emails about connection errors in batches every, select a time interval from the dropdown. This interval will determine how often the application checks for connection issues. The default is set to 30 minutes.
- Click Save.
Limit the number of records Attachments and Audit Outbound Processing job processes
The "Perspectium Attachments and Audit Outbound Processing" job processes the outbound messages for attachments and audit records that are ready to be sent to the Perspectium Integration Mesh. To limit the number of outbound messages processed by the scheduled job, follow these steps:
- Go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties > General Settings.
- Scroll to the field labeled Record limit for number of records Attachments and Audit Outbound Processing job processes each time and enter the desired max number. The default is set to 1000.
