How to schedule a recurring import once a month

Yugo Sakuma

The actions we would like to achieve are as follows.

 

  1. Upload the xlsx file in the ServiceNow instance
  2. Imports are performed on the same day each month using a predetermined Import Set
  3. Import set data is cleaned up

※Step 1 will be done manually.

 

If the above settings are possible in Scheduled Import, I would like to know the details of how to set them up.

There are not many Japanese-language resources on Scheduled Import.

 

Thank you.

Hi @Yugo Sakuma ,

You will need to create a Data Source first to define from where you want to import the data from.

System Import Sets > Administration > Data Sources

Data is not imported directly from a Data Source into the target table. The steps are:

  1. Load data into a staging table
  2. Create a Transform Map
  3. Run a Transform to move data from the staging table to the target table
  4. Check the data integrity

Once, Above is done, then you can create a Scheduled Import, You can use Periodic and make it run every 90 days:

System Import Sets > Administration > Scheduled Imports> New
