ServiceNow Learning 50: Few more Useful Flow Designer backend Tables in ServiceNow

[Shamma Negi]

Hi Team,

I found few more helpful Flow Tables as mentioned below:

Table	Description	Default retention period
sys_flow_context	Parent table that stores all Flow Designer context records and their associated process plans. Context records store the state and references to the data used to run a flow or action. See the child tables for context records in specific states.	2 weeks for completed flows 6 weeks for flows in the error or cancelled state
sys_flow_context_chunk	Child table that stores context records and runtime data for currently running flows and actions. This table replaces the sys_json_chunk table as the location to store data for active context records. A running flow or action can be in one of these states. Continue Sync In Progress Queued Waiting Danger: Do not change or delete data in this table. Flow Designer uses this table for flows and actions that are in an active state.	The system removes these records when the flow stops running and creates an entry in the sys_flow_context_chunk_archive table.
sys_flow_context_chunk_archive	Child table that stores context records and runtime data for flows and actions that have stopped running. This table replaces the sys_json_chunk table as the location to store data for inactive context records. A stopped flow or action can be in one of these states. Cancelled Complete Error Note: Flow Designer uses this table for flows and actions that are in an inactive state.	Removed when the associated sys_flow_context record is removed. 2 weeks for completed flows 6 weeks for flows in the error or cancelled state

Hope this helps you.
