Migrate CMDB from one instance to another

[DubeyN]

Hi,

We have built a CMDB system in our instance and want to migrate it to other instance. We can't clone the environment as there are other application we don't want to move to other instance.

What are available options to migrate only CMDB to another instance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks guys for reply.

We have huge CMDB with millions of records. I am following Tony's suggestion now , but faced issue while exporting data. There was a limit with the data I can export in one time, so took help of other tool I am working on to get all record in XML file.

Yesterday we have imported all records to new environment and today we will migrate relationship. I will let you know the results.

Thanks again for help.

Investigate the option of a web service integration between the two instances that will auto-magically keep the 2nd instance in-sync with the 1st instance. This will take multiple web service calls to each table necessary, but could be a way to automate this process.

Hi Dubey ,

I am having the same requirement .Are you able to load the data with xml.

And how you imported the relationships via xml.

Did you faces any other issues except number records.

Regards,

Ravi.

You can use Precision Bridge to migrate CMDB data between ServiceNow instances.

I have used a data source, type: file, format: XML, retrieval method: HTTPS.

I call the XML path of the data i need and a transform map to manipulate data before inserting.
