There are no Static columns defined for this endpoint. This endpoint detects columns dynamically at runtime. |
Examples
SSIS
Use ServiceNow Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.
API Source
This Endpoint belongs to the [Dynamic Table] table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly:
Required Parameters | |
---|---|
TableName | Fill-in the parameter... |
Optional Parameters | |
SysId | |
Fields | |
Fields to include in response (Keep blank to get all fields -OR- Enter comma separated list) | |
Query / Order By (Server Side Filter) | |
ContineOn404Error | True |
DateFormatString | yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss |

API Destination
This Endpoint belongs to the [Dynamic Table] table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to get table rows:

ODBC application
Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:
Get a list of incidents

-- To read all available tables execute this query:
-- SELECT * FROM Tables
-- Other common tables:
-----------------------
-- SELECT * FROM sys_db_object
-- SELECT * FROM sys_dictionary
-- SELECT * FROM sys_user
-- SELECT * FROM sys_user_has_role
-- SELECT * FROM sys_user_grmember

-- SELECT * FROM sn_customerservice_case
-- SELECT * FROM kb_knowledge
-- SELECT * FROM kb_use
-- SELECT * FROM sc_req_item
-- SELECT * FROM sc_request
-- SELECT * FROM sc_task
Get only selected columns and speed up the query
By default all column values are returned in the result set. However, you can instruct the ServiceNow API to send only specific columns you care about by setting 'Fields' parameter in the WITH clause. This will speed up the response significantly.
SELECT number,name FROM incident WITH (Fields='number,name') --Setting Fields parameter will speed up the query
Query table using serverside filter expression
This example shows how to filter data from a table using server side filter expression. Its always faster to do this way rather than using in WHERE clause (Client Side Filter)
SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query='number=INC0000001') --Equal condition
--syntax (single condition)
--sysparm_query=<col_name><operator><value>
--syntax (multiple conditions)
--sysparm_query=<col_name><operator><value>[<operator><col_name><operator><value>]
