Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where query Business Rules were preventing Bulk Share for sharing exepcted number of records.
DataSync for ServiceNow (Replicator)
March 3, 2020
New Features
- Manually reshare records from your ServiceNow instance from a period of three days or less for situations where all records were not received.
- There are now two options to choose from in dynamic share: business rule or flow designer. Choosing flow designer will create a dynamic share using flow. With this option, you can send records out of your ServiceNow instance even with setWorkflow is set to false. Choosing business rule uses a previous release approach by creating a dynamic share using business rule.
- Specify how many bulk shares can run simultaneously in a scheduled bulk share. This is useful if you don't want all the bulk shares listed in this scheduled bulk share to try and run immediately based on the number of scheduled workers you have available.
- You are now prompted to confirm when deleting messages in the inbound or outbound messages tables.
- Upon creating shared queues or subscribed queues, you can choose a queue type that will automatically prepend a queue prefix to your queue name for easier creation and setup.
- Enable debug logging for a specified time frame in the Perspectium properties to obtain additional informations when using the Perspectium application.
- Fanout queues are used to broadcast messages across multiple queues. When creating a shared queue, you now have the option to send to a fanout queue. Monitoring receipts for fanout queues is also available.
- When include audit log is checked in dynamic share or bulk share, you have an option to choose which audit log records will be shared by checking Filter audit fields.
- In a ServiceNow production instance, you can specify which node to run scheduled jobs on. To learn more about ServiceNow nodes, see Node Performance Metrics.
- Monitor tables such as inbound messages, outbound messages, outbound attachments, and outbound audits in your ServiceNow instance by setting up email notifications using Table Monitoring.
- If you are sending a high volume of messages to a single queue or spreading your messages across a high volume of queues, you can now use Multiple MultiOutput Jobs.
- When you enable sharing ServiceNow display values for reference fields and choice lists in your dynamic shares and bulk shares, you now have an option to change the language of the display values.
- To improve data alignment, you now have an option to use these new features:
- Post Immediately: In a sharing instance, dynamic share messages will be posted as soon as the outbound message is created instead of waiting for the MultiOutput processor scheduled job to send all the outbound messages in bulk.
- Skip delayed updates: In a subscribing instance, inbound messages will be skipped if the message has a later updated time than the target record.
Enhancements
- Target database schema will now derive from the target table name.
- Improved Dynamic Share's Scheduled sync up feature with indexed columns.

- To ensure multibyte or foreign characters are saved properly for string column types, the DataSync Agent creates column types that can store unicode string data. Changing the data type to your configuration is now available.
- Optimize performance for querying outbound records by target queue.
Bug Fixes
- Share child tables with the sys_template table.
- View History is now compatible with enabled monitor and track history.
Preview output in table map now correctly process HTML fields with single lines.

Removed Features

Instead, a warning message is displayed to notify users that "Include Journal Fields" should not be checked when sharing to another ServiceNow instance or SIAM integration.
