Import Comments and Work Notes

I am migrating Incidents from a different ticketing system into Service now.   As part of this migration, I have an excel file full of comments and work notes that need to be added to the migrated Incidents.   Some of the questions that I can't find answers to:

  • When setting up the transform map, which table do the work notes/comments map to?
  • How do I associate the work note/comment in the excel file to the Incident?
  • Is it possible to set who & when the work note/comment was created?
    • I have configured the Incident import so that the date created reflects correctly, I'd like the work notes/comments to also reflect the date/time they were created and who created it.

I'm starting to think that I need to perform the Incident migration and work note/comment insert at the same time.   Currently, I'm trying to do the import using two sets.

For Importing the Comments and Work Notes, you will have to import it to the sys_journal_field table, coalescing on the Record Numbers.

The problem with importing to the sys_journal_field table directly is that it doesn't have a method to associate back to a Record Number.


Did you ever figure this out Nathan?   I'm running into the same issue.
