ServiceNow Updated CAD Exam Questions and Answers by mitchell

In ServiceNow, when configuring a REST Message, the Endpoint specifies the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) where the REST request is sent. This URI points to the resource on the external system that the REST message will interact with, whether it's to retrieve, update, create, or delete data.

Key Points:

Endpoint Definition: The Endpoint is a complete URL that includes the protocol (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), the domain or IP address of the external server, and the specific path to the resource. For example: https://api.example.com/v1/resources.

Dynamic Endpoints: ServiceNow allows the use of variables within the Endpoint URL, enabling dynamic substitution at runtime. This is useful when the exact resource path or parameters need to be determined during execution.

Configuration in ServiceNow:

Navigate to "System Web Services" > "Outbound" > "REST Message."

Create a new REST Message or select an existing one.

In the REST Message record, define the Endpoint URL in the "Endpoint" field.

Example Scenario:

If you are integrating ServiceNow with an external ticketing system to retrieve incident data, the Endpoint might be something like https://api.ticketingsystem.com/incidents/{incident_id}, where {incident_id} is a placeholder that gets replaced with the actual incident ID at runtime.

ServiceNow provides several methods for developers to publish and share applications once they are ready for distribution. The supported methods include:

Publish to an application repository: This method allows developers to publish their applications to a centralized repository, enabling easy distribution and installation across multiple ServiceNow instances. The application repository serves as a hub where applications can be stored and accessed by other instances.

Publish to the ServiceNow Store: Developers can submit their applications to the ServiceNow Store, a marketplace where applications are reviewed, certified, and made available to all ServiceNow customers. Publishing to the Store involves a certification process to ensure the application meets ServiceNow's standards.

Publish to an update set: An update set is a container for capturing configuration changes in ServiceNow. Developers can publish applications to an update set, which can then be moved between instances, allowing for the transfer of application configurations and customizations.

Options A (Publish to a spreadsheet), D (Publish to a local USB device), and F (Publish to a local drive) are not supported methods for publishing applications in ServiceNow. These options do not align with the platform's mechanisms for application distribution and deployment.

Created UI policy on incident form, action set's cmdb_ci field as mandatory and script as not. result, field was not mandatory.

A UI Policy’s Actions execute before the UI Policy’s Scripts. Actions are predefined operations that can be applied to fields or sections, such as making them mandatory, read-only, visible, or setting a default value. Scripts are custom JavaScript code that can be used to perform more complex logic or validations. Actions are executed first, and then Scripts are executed if the UI Policy conditions are met.

To see what scripts, reports, and other application artifacts will be in a published application, the best option is to examine the Application Files Related List in the application to be published. This will show all the application files that belong to the application, grouped by file type and scope. You can also filter, sort, or search the list to find specific files.

The following options are not the best ways to see what application artifacts will be in a published application:

Enter the name of the Application in the Global search field. This will perform a global text search on the instance and return any records that match the application name, which may include irrelevant or incomplete results.

Open the list of Update Sets for the instance. This will show all the update sets that have been created or imported on the instance, but not necessarily the ones that belong to the application to be published. Update sets are used to move customizations between instances, not to publish applications to the ServiceNow Store or Share.

Open the artifact records individually to verify the value in the Application field. This will require opening each record that may be part of the application and checking the Application field, which is tedious and error-prone. References: Publish an Application, Application Files
