Demo data on PDI for task practice.

[Jmyekn1123]

Hi, I am new to the Sys Admin career journey. Asides from the Knowledge Check Tasks that accompanies the modules in Now Learning, is there some way I can load Demo Data into my PDI for practice, and maybe even find more practice tasks to try my hands on?

Any useful pointers will be appreciated.

Hi @Jmyekn1123 ,

ServiceNow OOTB provide demo data in all the important tables for practice, But if you need extra data in any table for your extra practice to get more experience.

you can create demo data from background scripts in your PDI,

you can use below script to create records in the table were you require demo data.

//Insert() method // I am using Incident table for demo, you can select any table as per your requirement.

 var gr =new GlideRecord("incident");

for(i=1;i<=n;i++) // n = 100 here, n is the number of records you want to create in that particular table @Jmyekn1123 

{

gr.newRecord();

gr.short_description='demo data';

gr.insert();

}

if my answer helps in resolving your query, please mark it as helpful/ accepted solution @Jmyekn1123.

Thanks & Regards,
