This section lists the contents of the "ServiceNow Base" SyncPack.

PowerFlow Applications

  • Bulk Clear SL1 Events. Bulk clears SL1 events.

  • Bulk Update SL1 Events. Bulk updates SL1 events with a given payload.

  • See the manuals for those SyncPacks for situations where you need to schedule these applications. If you are getting an error stating that PowerFlow is "unable to retrieve cached users", schedule the "Cache SL1 Users" application to run at least once a week.

Configuration Object

  • ServiceNow SyncPack. Contains a set of required variables. As a best practice, use the Copy as button to make a copy of the configuration object, and then update the variables from that object to match your SL1 and ServiceNow settings. Do not use the original version of the configuration to run PowerFlow applications.
