REST/Table API-Session Reuse for multiple request

[bhavnagyanchand]

I am using REST/Table API for ServiceNow.

To process multiple requests , I am sending request to servicenow endpoint in a for each Loop.

I had a query here : In servicenow, for multiple requests, is the session maintained?

or Is there a provision using which   I can Reuse the connection with ServiceNow for multiple requests ?

There is an example here:

REST OAuth example

which shows how you can get, and use, an access token

Hi,

Very important topic. Always develop your integration to use a persistent session.

REST and other integration traffic often leads to stale session buildup and scarce available memory

Hi,

There is also a new system property available in Helsinki.

glide.integration.session_timeout

"Decrease the maximum integration session duration by adding the property glide.integration.session_timeout to the System Properties [sys_properties] table.

This property accepts an integer value that specifies the number of minutes to keep integration sessions open. This property is set to 5 by default, keeping integration sessions open for 5 minutes"

Hi Bhavna,

You can maintain the session by maintaining the cookies returned by the initial request. Most HTTP client libraries will support this. As long as you maintain cookies, the same session will be reused across multiple requests.
