You can add a total of ten ServiceNow DevOps configurations. For example, you can configure Jenkins connections for your Development, Testing, Production instances, and so on.

If you are an upgrading customer, you must download and install the latest Jenkins plugin to enable multiple ServiceNow configurations. After installation, your existing configuration will be retained and made the default configuration.

In the ServiceNow DevOps Configuration section in Jenkins, the values in the Name field and the combination of the Instance URL and Orchestration Tool ID fields must be unique.

If you choose to automatically configure a tool from ServiceNow, then the existing set up for ServiceNow DevOps Configuration will be over-written in Jenkins.

If DevOps Config is installed, you will only be able to configure Jenkins manually.
