Prerequisites   First, you will need to install the  Perspectium DataSync   Express  application.   For  domain-separated instances , you must be in the  global  domain to install the application.  After you   set up your properties , the Perspectium application will automatically create a shared queue and a bulk share using this shared queue so you can immediately start sharing data.  The shared queue created will be named  psp.out.replicator.<instance_name>_express . For example  psp.out.replicator.acme_express . This shared queue's Integration Mesh URL and credentials along with the encryption key will be updated each time you update the respective configurations in  Perspectium  >  Control and Configuration  >  Properties.  That is, if you update the Integration Mesh username in Perspectium properties, this shared queue's user will also be updated. The bulk share created will use this shared queue, default to the  incident  table and be named  First Bulk Share YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS  (in your local date and time, for example  First Bulk Share 2024-09-15 11:37:51 ) . You can change this to a different table and then click  Execute Now  to run the bulk share. You will need a Perspectium application (such as the DataSync Agent) subscribed to this queue to consume messages and save to your target destination such as a supported database. If you happen to delete your bulk share using this shared queue, you can go back into  Perspectium  >  Control and Configuration  >  Properties  and resave your properties and the bulk share will automatically be recreated for you. If you are already have the Perspectium application installed and are upgrading and you do not have this default shared queue or a bulk share using this shared queue, both will be created for you when go back into  Perspectium  >  Control and Configuration  >  Properties  and save either  General Settings  or  DataSync Settings . Procedure To set the initial configurations after installing the  DataSync   Express  app into your instance, follow these steps: Switch to the Perspectium DataSync Express Application Scope The DataSync Express app requires your ServiceNow instance to be in its scope during registration.    NOTE :  This action is only required for users with the admin role since admin users have the ability to choose different application scopes (non-admin users will automatically be in the  DataSync Express  scope). Navigate to the Perspectium DataSync Express application In the  Filter Navigator  of the ​Application Navigator​, type in “ perspectium ” to find the  Perspectium DataSync Express  application: Navigate to the Setup module and complete Setup Navigate to  Perspectium DataSync Express > Setup  to access the  Setup  page. Then, read through and complete the setup for  DataSync Express  by clicking  Confirm  at the bottom of the page. Complete Setup The action will take a few seconds to complete. You will be notified on screen with a success message once the setup has been complete. Within a few seconds after  Setup  has completed, you will be automatically directed to  Perspectium Properties  to configure your settings so that a shared queue and bulk share can be automatically created for you to start sharing. A message will appear on screen to notify you this is happening:   NOTE :  Once the setup has complete, the  Setup  module will be made inactive and the other modules of the Perspectium DataSync Express application will be enabled so you can start using the application. Set up  application properties After being automatically directed to  Perspectium  >  Control and Configuration  >  Properties  and being this is the first time you are configuring your properties, a prompt will appear to notify you to configure both General and DataSync Settings so as to automatically create a shared queue and bulk share you can use to start sharing: On the  Properties  page, click  General Settings . In the resulting form, fill out the fields with your Perspectium Integration Mesh username, password, and server URL, and click  Save . You will be prompted to also enter your DataSync Settings to complete setting up the Perspectium application: Click the back arrow to go back to the  Properties  page, and this time click  DataSync Settings In the resulting form, fill out the fields with your encryption and/or decryption keys Scroll to the bottom of the page and click  Save . Once you save your DataSync Settings, a  bulk share  will be created for you. The following message will be displayed and then you will be directed to the bulk share after a few seconds so you can execute it: This bulk share will default to the  incident  table and use a shared queue ( psp.out.replicator.<instance_name>_express)  automatically created for you. You can update this to select any table you want, make other changes to the bulk share and then choose the  Execute Now  option to execute the bulk share.   NOTE : You will need a Perspectium application (such as the DataSync Agent) subscribed to this queue to consume messages and save to your target destination such as a supported database. Set up table access If you plan to share attachments, modify  table access  to allow the DataSync application access to read attachment records.
