Do we have any good way to create a new table by importing the Excel file having the table definition? I'm going to create a new custom application to migrate an existing application to ServiceNow. I have the table schema definitions in EXCEL format and would like to create new tables based on it, because it is inefficient to manually create the field by typing on the Web GUI. Does anyone have any good idea on this?
Regards
KM

Hi Kark,
you can write an onBefore Transform Script in your Transform Map to read the table names and column names from the Excel file and then use the GlideTableCreator and GlideColumnAttributes APIs in this script to create the new tables from the code.
You can find more details about table generation from scripts here: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=a3cc8329db9cdbc01dcaf3231f96...
