Run Business Rules and engines in Update/Delete Jobs

[AkashDewangan]

What is the significance of the Checkbox "Run Business Rules and engines" in update and delete jobs under data management servicenow? How does this checkbox works exactly?

If you check Run business rules and engines check the Business Rule, Flow/workflow, Notifications, SLAs, ACLs, etc will trigger based on conditions

Hi @AkashDewangan , 

So the "Run Business Rules and engines" checkbox controls whether the system runs its usual data processing when modifying records on a form.

If checked(true), ServiceNow will trigger business rules, workflows, flows, and validations just like it would during a manual update,ensuring data integrity and enforcing logic.

If this is unchecked(false), the system skips these processes and performs a direct update or delete, which is much faster but bypasses important validation and automation.

Just to know. If enabled on a large jobs it can slow down the process and if disabled this can affect data integrity or inconsistent data.
