I have an error that is giving me a sys_id , though I do not know what the record is tied to the sys_id.
How can you search with a sys_id?
Thank you,
M

Hello
Can you please share the screenshot?
after seeing the screenshot I can suggest you something for diagnose.
basically ServiceNow instance uses Zing Tool for searching. its quiet difficult to search by sys_id in global search, possible way is only in the table when we know the table from the which the record belongs.
You can refer this SNProTip thread, which might be helpful for you.
Mark my Response as Correct or Helpful, if you find it Appropriate.

Hi,
You can try installing and using SN Utils plugin on your browser, it has a feature that allows you to search for a sys_id.

Another way is to go to the sys_metadata table, and search there for your sys_id.
In both these cases I'm assuming that the sys_id is part of some configuration, not data (i.e. Incident record or similar)

Hi @User175049 ,
I think the record would be in the table sys_progress_worker. I think you cant search with the sys_id because the record is not added.
Also, it mentions that it's a unique key violation.
You can check in the configure --> table to see if there is any field with unique = true. (bring the unique field)
Based on this the insertion is getting failed.
Mark Helpful if it helps in solving your Query.
Regards,
Johns

Try typing sys_progress_worker.list in your filter navigator, then use the filter to search sys ID contains and enter that sys ID. It could be a job that is running or ran.
