Import a text file from Mid server location into ServiceNow

[Sajan3]

Hi all,

I am working on a requirement where a fixed length text file needs to be imported from a folder on the mid server location into ServiceNow. I have tried replicating the same in a personal instance by installing a mid server on my local machine. Though giving the correct credentials, hostname/server name and the filepath, i am getting an ftp error 530: which happens when the authentication fails. 

Also, i wanted to get some help on the other possible approaches to implement this requirement. I am currently looking for implementing the same using javaScriptProbe; but could not clearly understand how to fetch the file from the midserver.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Sajan

Hi Sajan,

currently there is no OOTB way to perform what you say. You need, either a FTP server, or alternatively, if you want to transfer files from a folder of the mid server, you can use the SN Guru utility:

Scheduled File Import via Mid Server
