Finding Record by Sys ID as an Administrator

brianmurray
ServiceNow Employee

Hi All,

I have a script with a hard code Sys ID which displays a particular record from the ServiceNow data.   I am not sure if this record (object) is a page, iframe or what.   I am looking for a way to query the ServiceNow database as a System Administrator to find this object.

How can I use the out of the box tools/applications within the ServiceNow to find this object/record to trace it's whereabouts in the database?

Thanks a bunch.

Brian

Your script should give you an idea which table to query.

Filter and search for sys ID

Thank you for your response.   In order to query, I need to know which table to query against, and that's where I am struggling.


Your script should give you an idea which table to query.


The scripts should elude as to which table the sys_id is coming from. Once you have that, you can fill in the blanks with this URL.

If you have the script and post it, we might be able to help further.
