The Configure and Run Import Jobs section describes the jobs that are automatically scheduled at the time of installation. You can update the default schedule as required. You can also run these jobs manually (on-demand).
However, exercise caution while changing the default configuration or manually running the jobs as data corruption or loss can occur.
The Scheduled Jobs and System logs functionality will only be visible to the ServiceNow system administrator.
Import jobs must be configured and run in the order they appear in the following table. Manual (on-demand) execution of these jobs must also follow this order. Failure to follow this order can cause the data corruption or loss.
