ServiceNow Merge Conflicts and Application Scripts

Find reference information about merge conflicts and application scripts in the ServiceNow app.

Suggest Edits

The BigPanda ServiceNow integration provides support for the most recent versions of SNOW, and allows you to take advantage of the latest functionality. BigPanda recommends using the latest version of the application, when possible.

During the update process, you may need to reference various application scripts and components to complete the installation. Use the tables in the sections below to find more information about components and rules installed during this process.

For more information about updating ServiceNow, see the Update the BigPanda ServiceNow App documentation.

Merge Conflicts

During the ServiceNow upgrade process, individual components of the BigPanda ServiceNow Application will be presented as update conflicts if there is an existing version of that component in the app.

To resolve merge conflicts, keep a list of all customizations to compare to the table below. Components that were not updated in a particular version do not affect app functionality and can be rejected during the installation process. When you see changes to these components below, you will want to accept these changes. If you see conflicts that are unrelated to these components, those are likely related to customizations that you have made to your application and can be skipped.

Business Rules

As part of the standard ServiceNow integration, Business Rules are used that allow the application to function. Business Rules in the app are scripts that can run when a record is inserted, updated, or deleted. These rules are used to perform actions when certain conditions are met.

Each integration type has its own specific set of Business Rules. Reference the tables below to learn what each rule does, and under what conditions certain actions are performed.
