Show full answer Show less ## Key Features Introduced in Australia * **Data Interfaces:** Introduce durable, schema-based contracts that offer a consistent data access layer for analytics, workflows, and AI applications. These interfaces support multi-source composition through UNION and JOIN operations and maintain schema stability to protect downstream consumers from breaking changes due to source system updates. Access control is managed with ServiceNow role-based access control and ACLs. * **Data Products:** Enable creation of reusable, business-aligned data entities built upon data interfaces with defined ownership, lifecycle management, and metadata. Data products can be packaged and governed as publishable collections discoverable in the Data Catalog, with access requests handled via governed workflows and controlled by role-based access control and ACLs. * **Zero Copy Connectors:** Allow real-time or near-real-time querying of external data sources like Snowflake, Databricks, and Oracle without replicating data into the ServiceNow instance. This federated query approach supports pushdown query execution for efficient data access. * **Catalog-First Authoring Experience:** Simplifies discovery and onboarding of data assets directly from the Data Catalog. Users can create data interfaces and data products from catalog assets without context switching, fostering reuse and reducing data duplication across the organization. ## Notable Changes * Published data interfaces can now be edited to add columns, swap source tables, modify combination methods, update column mappings, or adjust join conditions. Existing consumers continue using the interface but must reconnect to access structural changes. ## Activation and Availability Data products are available through the ServiceNow Store. Customers must request installation from the store to activate these features. The ServiceNow Store also provides version history and cumulative release notes for all related apps. ## Additional Information * No updates, removals, deprecations, additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization changes were noted between Zurich and Australia for Data products. * Published data interfaces maintain schema stability to shield consumers from underlying source system changes. * Data interfaces created via the Data Workbench wizard can originate from single tables or complex JOIN and UNION operations. * Data products provide a governed, single entry point for related data assets, published to the Data Catalog for discoverability and access management.
