Today during a ServiceMapping class at K17 the question came up of how is it possible to schedule the discovery of a specific business service. Unfortunately, currently through a discovery schedule it's not possible to perform the discovery of one and only one specific business service; yet... There's a trick on how to accomplish this...

a) Create a Scheduled Job to a execute a script on a time/recurrence of your preference

b) Include some code that will Trigger the "discovery" execution of a business service...

//Make sure to replace the businessServiceSysID with the Sys ID of your business service.

var businessServiceSysID = 'fcd467c06f702b00dd37d3b0be3ee427'

var manager = new SNC.BusinessServiceManager();

manager.startDiscovery(businessServiceSysID);

c) Execute it to test it and Voila!

I hope this is helpful!
