Frequently Asked Questions

ServiceNow scheduled jobs are part of the System Scheduler application and run automatically at specific intervals of time or on a recurring schedule. A scheduled job can automate routine tasks. These might include using System Scheduler to schedule a regular restart of a MID Server, schedule import set jobs, run a CMDB query, run scheduled jobs from scripts or business rules, send email notifications, or schedule at the end of the month, all without manual intervention. Learn more about ActiveBatch’s cross-platform job scheduling software.

ActiveBatch uses a combination of APIs, web services, and plugins to integrate with ServiceNow. Once the two are integrated, it’s easy to set or refine role-based access controls and define which, in addition to system administrators, require access and what levels they require. When you integrate ServiceNow with ActiveBatch, teams can still use ServiceNow features such as Flow Designer to build out workflows across multiple systems and applications. And you can still use GlideRecord within ServiceNow, and within ActiveBatch use tools like SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. ActiveBatch’s drag-and-drop intuitive user interface makes it ideal for use across any organization, from specialized ServiceNow developers to casual business ServiceNow users.
ActiveBatch also integrates with the tools that teams use most, including IBM, Microsoft, and more. ActiveBatch can also be configured to integrate with LDAP servers like Microsoft Active Directory to authenticate users and grant platform access.

Schedules define and manage time-based events or tasks like running reports or performing backups. Schedules are rules that include or exclude time for actions. So if an SLA was set to a 9-5 Weekdays schedule, the SLA counts only time between those hours. Schedules also supports domain separation so you can separate data, processes, and tasks into logical groups or domains.
Uncover how ActiveBatch’s enterprise job scheduler helps optimize operations and IT processes.

Scripts are blocks of code that can automate and extend platform functionality. Depending on the ServiceNow module, scripts can create custom business rules to trigger actions or automate validations and approvals. For example, a SysAuto script performs automated actions on records in response to specific events or conditions.
A script include is a reusable block of server-side JavaScript code that is specific to ServiceNow and provides additional features. A script include usually handles data manipulation, validation, and communication with external systems. When testing server-side scripts, users generally tend toward the Execute Now feature.
A client script, however, runs on the client side in the user’s web browser. Client scripts modify the behavior or appearance of forms and lists in ServiceNow.
