Access to the table (most specific table rules to most general)

Before evaluating access to the field (most specific to most general)

29

True or False.
A user must pass both table and field ACL rules to access a record object

A

True

30
Q

What is an Import Set?

A

A tool used to import data from various data sources, and map that data into ServiceNow tables

31
Q

What roles are needed to manage all aspects of Import Sets?

A

Admin

Import_admin

32
Q

Data Sources are records in ServiceNow that contain information regarding an Import Set data source.
Where can you import data from?

A

-From a local source (XML, CSV, EXCEL)
-From a network server
-From a file
-A Lightweight access Protocol (LDAP) connection
-Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connection

33
Q

True or False.
An import Set Table acts as a staging area for records imported from a data source

A

True

34
Q

Steps for importing data using an Import Set?

A

36
Q

What is a Transform Map?

A

If a name is not the same… it will NOT map.

37
Q

2 Tools used in Transform Map?

A
  1. Automatic Mapping Utility
  2. Mapping Assist Utility
38
Q

Coalesce Fields

A

Coalescing a field mean the field will be used as a unique key during imports.
It’s always for Import Sets

39
Q

What happens if a match is found using the coalesce field(s)?

A

The existing record will be updated with the information being imported

40
Q

What happens if a match is NOT found using the coalesce field(s)?

A

Then a new record will be inserted into the database

A

Yes

42
Q

What are the configurations you can use to coalesce data in Import Sets?

A

  2. Multiple-field Coalesce
  3. Conditional Coalesce
43
Q
