Below are the different modules that fall under the category of Control and Configuration, which allows you to make general customizations to your Perspectium application. All of the modules below can be found at Perspectium > Control and Configuration. Explore the following modules to learn more: 


Properties

The Propertities module defines the options, settings, and preferences applied to your Perspectium application. 

To configure Perspectiujm's properties, go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Properties

In the following sections you can find instructions for customizing your General Settings and DataSync Settings, as well as an overview table of Perspectium properties.

General Settings

From the Properties page, click General Settings (Perspectium > Control and Configuration Properties > General Settings)

On the General Settings page, you can:

  • Change/view your Perspectium Integration Mesh username, password, and/or URL
  • Allow the sharing of incidents to Perspectium Support
  • Delete error messages older than one day in the Outbound Messages table (via datacleaners)
  • Generate debug logging
  • Limit bytes/records for Outbound Message jobs
  • Limit the maximum number of messages in the Outbound Messages queue

The application installs a role called perspectium that has access to the Perspectium application's tables. This role can be used to limit ServiceNow users to only have access to the Perspectium application and can be given to a user used with theDataSync Agent to access ServiceNow table schemas in order to replicate accurately and dynamically to external databases.

DataSync Settings

From the Properties page, click DataSync Settings (Perspectium > Control and Configuration Properties > DataSync Settings)

Your DataSync Settings contain the default encryption and decryption keys that are used for shared and subscribed data, as well as various configuration options for your bulk shares and inbound messages.

On the DataSync Settings page, you can:

  • Share display values
  • User a percentage of workers to run concurrent scheduled bulk shares
  • Save Perspectium properties in the sys_properties table
  • Disable inbound messages
  • Enable multiple jobs to process messages in the inbound table
  • Skip updating the sys_domain_path field when subscribing to records
  • Alert before bulk sharing a large number of records
  • Generate unique names for business rules associated with dynamic shares

Stop/Start all jobs

DataSync for ServiceNow runs several scheduled jobs in the background of your instance. To view the scheduled jobs associated with Perspectium DataSync in your ServiceNow instance, navigate to Perspectium Control and Configuration All Scheduled Jobs.

However, if Perspectium scheduled jobs start to affect your instance's performance, you may want to stop your Perspectium scheduled jobs and then start them again. Here's how:

Go to Perspectium > Control and Configuration > Start / Stop All Jobs. Then, click Stop All Jobs or Start All Jobs

On the resulting page, make sure to read through what will and won't be done. If it all looks good, click Confirm

To use this feature, you will need the Admin role. See ServiceNow Roles on how to assign roles.
