ServiceNow introduction to remote table | ServiceNow remote table to retrieve a table from an external source

Hi All,

I hope you're doing great.

In today's tutorial, we will look into a great concept in ServiceNow: Remote tables.

Remote Table :

• You can create a Remote table to define a schema for the data you want to retrieve from an external source.
• Table definitions reside in the Now Platform, but rows, or external records, reside in memory.
• Creating a remote table is similar to creating an internal table.
• As with an internal table, you define columns and controls and assign application access. Unlike an internal table, a remote table does not get its records from the Now Platform database.
• It gets its records from running an associated script against an external data source.

Procedure to create Remote table:

• Navigate to System Definition -- Remote Tables -- Tables.
• Click New.
• On the form, fill in the fields.
