How to test Mid Server use

wakespirit · ‎11-14-2018

Dear all,

I am actually learning ServiceNow and would like to play with Mid Server in order to see how it works.

How can I test it and install it ?

Can I run it on same pc as I am browsing my dev instance ?

Thanks for help

regards

Hi -- In addition to what others of already said, if you are on LONDON version, it is a requirement to install Java Run Time Engine v8 BEFORE installing the MID server code (archive you download using a link within your instance )

JRE version 8 can be downloaded here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-21`33155.html Installing the JRE would need to occur BEFORE step 3 of Priyanka's earlier reply. If installing on MID on Windows, this is the installer you need (as of Nov 2018):

If you are on versions prior to London, the JRE is automatically installed and packaged with the installer. Starting with London, its a separate process and isn't too well articulated in the docs nor the guided setup.

Hope that helps?
