    About this task

    Inserts and updates that are replicated to a consumer instance can trigger business rules configured on the target table. A business rule is a server-side script that is associated with a table. Use business rules to trigger workflows that are associated with replications, such as sending a notification or validating the replicated data.

    Business rules are part of the ServiceNow AI Platform. For more information, see Business rules.

    Procedure

    1. On a consumer instance, navigate to Instance Data Replication > Consumer Replication Sets and click a consumer replication set.
    2. On the Inbound Entries tab, click a replication set table.
    3. Select the Run Business Rule option.
    4. Repeat this procedure for the other tables in the replication set.
    5. Click Update.
      IDR invokes the business rules that are associated with the specified table after replicating the data to the table.
