How to restore the knowledge articles from one instance to another

[msc]

Hi Everyone 

Need your help on one of my requirement to get the knowledge articles from one instance and create or update it on another instance through schedule job. We have to get the data ( publish , retired ) from one instance and create or update it on another instance with out any information or mail to trigger the user.

Thanks

Hi @msc 

you can use REST API in instance B to get KB article from instance A.

Also there is a OOB knowledge scripted rest api , you can use get method for your requirement.

https://<Your instancence name>/sys_ws_definition.do?sys_id=8ad394c8db03220099f93691f0b8f584&sysparm_view=&sysparm_record_target=sys_ws_definition&sysparm_record_row=1&sysparm_record_list=nameSTARTSWITHknowledge%5EORDERBYname&sysparm_record_rows=1

If you want to created scripted rest api for your requirement. you will get guide from there.

But why is this required?

are you doing this between 2 different ServiceNow instances i.e. between 2 different companies?

You will have to use custom scripted REST API to handle this.
