Integration: Is there a way to "push" data/files to SN from external server, not SN Pulling data

[mmukherjee]

Hi,
I am new to ServiceNow. In fact this is the second day I am logging into this community and into an SN instance. We are implementing SN replacing some existing services. As part of that project we have to redo the rxisting integrations. The integrations inbound to SN will have to send data from external servers. Now in the demo I have attended for SN I am aware of that SN can pull data (import) from external server. But what I am trying to find out is if the external server , which is outside of SN firewall, can send (push) the data to SN server: by means of web service, email attachment etc. Our company does not have an external ftp server, so that is not an option.
Anybody tried it or know about it?
Thanks,
Mita

EDIT: Sorry, I read through your question again and misinterpreted it. I thought you were looking to push data from Service-Now into servers within your network. It seems you want to push data from your servers INTO Service-Now.

Hi Mita,

Integration between ServiceNow and FTP is possible using Informatica Cloud. For more info on ServiceNow connector, please visit -http://www.servicenowconnector.com.

For any further query, please reach at info(at)mansasys(dot)com.

Thanks,

Hi Mita,

I've got a similar requirement to you, did you managed to do a push of data/files to Snow?

How did you solve your problem?

Thanks,

Jaiver and Mita,

While you can use web services to solve this problem, It is possible and easy to push data in and out of Servicenow via Perspectium with no web services required.

Email me if you want more information! william.morisseau@perspectium.com

Thanks,

Will

Mita,

There are a variety of ways to get information into ServiceNow.   The ones I have used are SOAP, REST, and email.   I've found the REST API is one of the simplest to use.   There is even a REST API Explorer (http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=REST_API_Explorer#gsc.tab=0)) within ServiceNow that will help you build a REST request to put data into the system.   Each type of integration has security implications, so make sure you look into what kind of access you are opening up into your system as you build your integrations.
