Technology field not populating or populating as (empty) or a hash/hexadecimal number

My Configuration Compliance integration with Qualys is pulling in test results with the CI's but it is not populating the Technology field or the technology field is filled in with a value of random numbers and letters. Please see image below which shows a chart sorting my technology field. What is the issue here?

Hey there - those random characters and numbers, are what we refer to as SYS_IDs in ServiceNow.

 

In this case, each record on the Test Result table, has a reference field that points to the Technologies table - that field is the Technology field.   For reference fields, if we see the SYS_ID being displayed, rather than a more friendly display value like the name, it tends to signal a problem - as you are pointing out.

It appears there is a known issue for this - would suggest opening a Support Case with ServiceNow for help on this, and reference KB1449263.

 

If you open your CC Technologies table (in the left nav, go to "sn_vulc_technology.list") -- you may see an odd behavior of multiple rows showing the same ID, some with a real name and some empty -- for the Technology data imported from Qualys (Controls)...

Thank you! We used the workaround in the KB article which worked partially. We ended up have to run the fix script 7 times in order for ALL the technologies to populate. Is this intentional?
