ServiceNow Application Developer Part 5

Application

A collection of files and data that deliver a service and manage business processes

Application Scope

Protects applications by identifying and restricting access to application files and data

Private	By default, all custom applications have a ________ scope that uniquely identifies them and their associated artifact with a namespace identifier
Global Scope	Special application scope that identifies applications developed prior to application scoping or applications intended to be accessible to all other global applications

Global Scope

________ applications can bypass scope protections, allowing         them to:

-Read records -Run API requests -Create Configuration records

False

True//False: Assume an application scope, sn_my_app,exists. Scripts from other application scopes can never delete records from tables in the sn_my_app scope.

All application scope, This application scope

The application Access settings for a table are:

True

True//False: An application owns its tables and determine whether other application can access resources from them

DO NOT

Developers DO/DO NOT create application file records directly from the Application File table

contextual

The platform is a ____________ development environment that displays the currently selected application, identifies the scope of every application artifact, and prevent any changes that violate the access settings for an application

Application Access Settings

____________________ is similar to ACLs in that it allow you to restrict access to certain resources, but instead of restricting tables and records from users - they restrict application resources from other applications

Runtime Access tracking

-Allows administrators to manage script access to application resources be creating a list of script operations and targets that the system authorizes to run -Options: None, Tracking, Enforcing

Cross-scope privilege record

-Runtime access tracking uses __________________________ to determine which script operations and targets the system allows to run -System creates this when: Runtime Tracking is set to "Tracking" or "Enforcing"

Script API, Web Services

Runtime access points

Application List

Allows application developers to view and select applications

Application Picker

Allows application developers to view and select the application where their changes apply

False

True//False: Removing a field from a form using the Form Designer deletes the field from the database table.

Application Creation	-Start from scratch
options	-Create a custom application
	-Start from a template
	-Start from an existing service
	-Start from global

Start from scratch

-Create an empty application -Good for application that only use one configuration record, such as workflow or script-based application

Create a custom application

-Create an application with UI and data elements -Good for applications that require UI elements and tables

Start from a template

-Create service management application -Good for applications that need to track the status of requests or task-driven records

Start from an existing service

-Convert an existing service to an application if service creator is active -You may want to convert successful services into full application to utilize application features like contextual security, data or UI Policies, UI actions, and auditing

Start from global

-Create an application in the global scope -Required role: admin -Set the system property glide.app.creator.global to true

Studio

Made up of: -Header -Application Explorer -Content Frame -Status Bar

Source Control Integration

Allows application developers to integrate with GIT source control repository to save and manage multiple versions of a sub-production instance

source control

Linking to an application to ___________ allows application developers on sub production instance to: -Import applications from a GIT repository -Pull and apply changes from a GIT repository -Commit all local changes on a instance to a GIT repository -Create tags to permanently link to a given version of an application -Create branches to maintain multiple versions of an application simultaneously

Operations

-Import from Source Control -Link to Source Control -Edit Repository Configuration -Apply Remote Changes -Commit Changes -Stash Local Changes -Switch Branch -Create Branch -Create Tag -Manage Stashes -Create Repository: -Create credentials: -Grant Access to Repository

Sharing methods

-Publish internally to company instances -Publish to the ServiceNow Store -Publish to an Update Set -Push to team development instances

Team Development

Supports parallel development on multiple, sub- production ServiceNow instances

Team Development

Provides the following features: -Branching operations, including pushing and pulling record versions between instances -The ability to compare a development instance to other development instances -A central dashboard for all Team Development activities

Team Development

Good for: -Providing change management across multiple instances -Allowing multiple developers to work on applications -Organizations that have access to several sub-production instances Future considerations -Works best when each development team has access to a dedicated development instance -Requires developers to manually merge colliding changes -Works only for instances owned by the same organization

Update Sets

Good for: -Storing changes to a baseline or installed app -Storing and applying a particular version of an pp -Producing a file for export Future Considerations: -Manually create update sets to store a particular application version -Use update sets to deploy patches or changes to installed apps

Application Repository

Good for: -Installing and updating apps on all company instances -Automatically managing applications update sets -Restricting access to applications to the same company -Deploying completed applications to end users Future considerations -Consider publishing to ServiceNow Store -Allow installation of and update to latest version only -Use Update Sets to store prior application versions

Local Changes

_________ table tracks which customized record have current versions that exist on the development instance but not on the parent instance

Pull                                    _______________ Exceptions for Team Development:                           

-Matched an exclusion policy -Private properties -Collisions -Previously resolved collisions -Skipped

Team Dashboard

Provides a central place to manage all Team Development activities on your development instance

Team Development instance hierarchy, grant access rights

To enable parallel development on multiple sub- production instances, administrators can set up the __________ and __________ for developers

False (uses version records)

True//False: Team Development uses Git to manage versions
