Is there a place or table in ServiceNow that lists all possible error messages for data import

[Med99]

I know about syslog and sys_import_log / sys_import_set_row, but these only show errors that actually occurred during an import. I'm looking for a full list of all possible errors that could  happen during an import in ServiceNow. Is that possible?

Hi @Med99 ,

No, there is no single table or location in ServiceNow that provides a comprehensive list of all possible error messages for data imports. The error codes and messages you can find are limited to what has actually been triggered during import operations in your instance.

Please check the below link for reference

https://www.servicenow.com/community/servicenow-ai-platform-forum/list-of-all-error-code-in-import-s...

One thing I found out is the property com.glide.import_set.importlog_level, the details are available in above link.

Mark this thread helpful so that it can benifit others.

Thanks,

Afrith

@Med99 , No, there isn’t an OOTB table of all possible import errors.
You only get what actually occurred, and the universe of “what could happen” depends on data, transform maps, and customizations.

Hi @Med99 ,

ServiceNow does not have a single, centralized table listing all possible data import error messages; instead, errors are found in various locations, including the Import Set Log table (sys_import_log), sys_ui_message, specific fields like sys_import_state_comment in transform scripts, and detailed error messages in ServiceNow Community forums. You'll also see errors related to missing fields, access control, and script failures, often displayed in the UI when performing an import
