The data is loaded from a ServiceNow instance and stored into a relational database such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, installed in a local environment. This mirror database can be used for custom reporting, data warehouse loads, system integration, data backup and more. All applications that need the ServiceNow data for any purpose can access them in standard database ways (e.g. ODBC driver, JDBC, ETLs or plain SQL). The access to the local database is fast and the ServiceNow instance is no longer impacted.
By defining tables, selecting columns and even specifying a detailed filter query SnowMirror allows synchronizing only the data really needed. Data synchronization between ServiceNow and the mirror database is easy to schedule with a wide range of scheduling options. SnowMirror performs only incremental data downloads so the replication runs are fast and reliable. SnowMirror was designed and implemented as an agent deployed in the customer’s environment (i.e. customer’s network) accessing ServiceNow instance on one side and a database of own choice on the other side. It is a similar agent as a MID server. A simple and user-friendly interface enables seamless configuration and operation.
