    • Use ERP Semantic Mining to save ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) app candidates to replatform.

    Before you begin

    Important:
    Starting with the Zurich release, ERP Semantic Mining is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported.

    Admins must first configure the connection to the ERP system in Zero Copy Connector for ERP. For more information, see Working with ERP systems in Zero Copy Connector for ERP.

    About this task

    Candidates are custom applications in your ERP system. ERP Semantic Mining scans your system of record to build a profile based on application logs and database activity logs. ERP Semantic Mining also scans for custom applications based on customized namespaces and other criteria. Replatformed apps use the ERP system of record as the live data source.

    Note:

    If you delete a candidate from ERP Semantic Mining, the candidate automatically reappears the next time the ERP system is scanned. Instead of deleting candidates, use the Save as potential candidate feature to organize your candidates.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > ERP Foundation > ERP Semantic Mining.
      ERP Semantic Mining accesses the remote table that calls the system of record instance, and temporarily mirrors that data in the ServiceNow AI Platform.
    2. Select the candidates icon in the side panel.
    3. Select the candidate that you want to save as potential.
      Alternatively, you can select a candidate directly on the ERP Semantic Mining home page. For more information, see Browse an overview of candidates in ERP Semantic Mining.
    4. Select the Select as potential candidate button.

      If you change your mind and want to remove the candidate from the potential candidates list, select the Change to draft candidate button.

    Result

    Selecting a candidate as a potential candidate changes the candidate status from Draft to Potential. The selected candidate is added to the Your selected potential candidates list on the home page.

    What to do next

    After you identify candidates, use Zero Copy Connector for ERP to view custom fields in remote and extraction tables, and add them to your ERP model. For more information, see Building and managing models to work with ERP data.

    ERP Semantic Mining also recommends possible next steps for each candidate. For more information, see Check candidate recommendations in ERP Semantic Mining.
