In case of scheduled imports, what will happen if the file is not updated on the server. For example, i have a daily import of user data (updates), which reads the file from Mid server.  If the file on Mid server is not updated for a week, will ServiceNow import the same file and create respetive import sets every day?

Hi Chanikya,

Kindly find my comments inline in red

1.Can any one explain about "Scheduling Data Imports" in servicenow , how it will works?

--specify that certain import operations should occur at some regular interval. Link Scheduling Data Imports - ServiceNow Wiki should help.

2.What is Difference b/w     " Scheduling Data Imports" & "Import sets"     ?

-- For Scheduling data import you an refer above while import set a tool that is used to import data from various data sources (JDBC, HTTP/FTP,XML, Excel etc). Link http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Import_Sets#gsc.tab=0 should help.

3.when will we use     "Scheduling Data Imports" ???

-- When records need to be uploaded/imported on daily/regular basis. Common eg. would be import of CI's/ Users etc.

4.when will we use " import set"

-- When records needs to be uploaded/imported in ServiceNow.
