NLU model builder


Use the NLU model builder to create morphological representations of language. These models
enable you to identify intents (what you want to do or what you want your application to
handle) and entities (the context or details for an action) expressed in natural language. Any
ServiceNow application can invoke an NLU model to get an inference of intents and entities in
a given utterance. For a description of this tool and how you can use it, see Natural Language
Understanding.

Changed in this release

Improved time series aggregation support


You can now apply a year-to-date or a by-year time series aggregation to indicators that have
daily or weekly data collection. For example, if you create a widget for the "Number of open
incidents" indicator, which has daily data collection, you can select By year SUM for the time
series aggregation for that widget.
Time series widgets with the relative compare visualization support breakdown dashboards

If you have a time series widget with the Relative Compare visualization, and you put it on a
breakdown dashboard, you can now configure the widget to follow the breakdown elements
that a dashboard user selects. Previously, time series widgets with the Relative Compare
visualization could not follow elements on breakdown dashboards.
For more information about breakdown dashboards, see Using breakdowns on dashboards.

Domain separation with Spotlight


Spotlight jobs now follow the access, visibility, and domain hierarchy of the Spotlight group Run
as user. You can thus enforce data separation between business entities, customers, or sub-
organizations that use Spotlight.
A user sees only the Spotlight records that reference the evaluated records within the domains of
that user.

Spotlight: Copy Spotlight group to other domains


You can copy a Spotlight group to other domains. This feature saves you from having to create
the Spotlight group manually multiple times for multiple domains.
Spotlight: Copy Spotlight group to breakdown elements
You can copy a Spotlight group to multiple elements of one breakdown. This feature saves
you from having to create the Spotlight group manually multiple times for multiple breakdown
elements.

Removed in this release

On interactive breakdown dashboards, the dropdown list that allows you to select only one
breakdown element is removed on upgrade. This list is replaced with a new menu that allows
multiple elements to be selected. For more information, see the "New in the New York release"
section.

Predictive Intelligence release notes


ServiceNow® Predictive Intelligence product enhancements and updates in the New York release.
Predictive Intelligence is a platform function that provides a layer of artificial intelligence that
empowers prediction and similarity capabilities across ServiceNow applications to provide better
work experiences. Previously named Agent Intelligence, it has expanded its machine-learning
frameworks, infrastructure, and consumption across the Now Platform®. For more information on
the feature, see Predictive Intelligence.

New York upgrade information

The quick start tests for Predictive Intelligence are recommended for any upgrades.

New in the New York release

Homepage
The Homepage appears in the application navigator when you navigate to Predictive
Intelligence, and includes a summary of frameworks for classification, similarity, and clustering
solutions. You can create, train, and test solutions directly from the page so you can quickly
understand the basic functionality of how a machine-learning solution works. A summary of the
latest trained solution is also available.
Clustering framework
The clustering framework takes a large group of records, such as historic incidents, and groups
them based on how similar they are based on specific fields that you configure. The system
automatically assigns these records to existing clusters as new records come in based on a
configured frequency, and are reclustered at periodic intervals. A scatter plot is provided so you
can visualize active clusters, and APIs are available to access current cluster assignments. To see
how clustering can help you to more easily identify major incidents by grouping similar incidents
together, see Create and train a clustering solution

Run quick start tests to verify that Predictive Intelligence still works. If you customized Predictive
Intelligence, you have to copy the quick start tests and configure them for your customizations.

Changed in this release

Centralized prediction server


A new centralized prediction service is now used for predictions in a shared service architecture
with increased memory. Hosted in multiple datacenters and able to run multiple models
simultaneously, this architecture enables the system to support larger-sized models, as well
as customer-independent models such as Syntaxnet, which is required for natural language
understanding.
Removal of classification class limit
In previous releases, the threshold for classification solution processing was set to 50 classes per
solution. In this release, the fixed limit of 50 classes per solution is removed so that all classes can
be modeled for a given dataset.
Visualization for classification solution statistics
A custom bubble chart is provided for better visualization of statistics for trained solutions so you
can compare the coverage-to-precision measures of individual classes and their relative sizes
and identify any classes that require retuning.
International language support
Previous releases supported these languages for classification solutions: English, French, German,
Japanese, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian, while similarity solutions were available only in English. In
this release, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese are also supported, and all of these languages are
collectively supported for both classification and similarity solutions.
Word corpus creation
The word corpus is now a reusable object that you can apply to your similarity or clustering
solution so it can compare similar records in a table or across multiple tables. For example, in
a similarity solution you can locate similar resolved incidents to help agents resolve incoming
incidents. To see how a word corpus can help you locate relevant KB articles to resolve a given
incident, see Create and train a similarity solution.
Comparing different document types
Similarity solutions are enhanced so you can compare different record and document types
across multiple tables, such as an incident record and a knowledge article. Specific techniques
are also developed that enable the system to compare small text with large text.

Activation information

Predictive Intelligence is included in the following packages: ITSM Professional, CSM Professional,
HR Professional, HR Enterprise, ITOM Standard, ITOM Professional, ITOM Enterprise, ITAM Professional,
and Standalone Event Management. When you subscribe to any of these packages, you can
activate Predictive Intelligence on your production instance.

Virtual Agent release notes


ServiceNow® Virtual Agent product enhancements and updates in the New York release.

New York upgrade information

• Migrating Virtual Agent topics: Conversation topics created in the Madrid release are fully
supported in this release and do not change during upgrade. After upgrade, you can
continue to develop and use keyword-based topics as in previous releases.
Or, you can enable new features, such as applying a Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
model to your Virtual Agent conversations. NLU models provide your virtual agent with the
information it needs to understand and process user statements in a conversation. The CSM,
HR Service Delivery, and ITSM applications provide prebuilt ServiceNow NLU models, along with
predefined conversation topics. To learn more, see Get Started with NLU in Virtual Agent.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

• Defining a Service Portal Agent Chat Configuration: After upgrading, if you define a Service
Portal Agent Chat configuration, you must remove any previously installed Virtual Agent
Service Portal widgets from portal pages.
The Service Portal Agent Chat configuration enables users to run Virtual Agent and Live Agent
on all pages of selected service portals. This means you no longer need to retain the legacy
Virtual Agent Service Portal widget on individual portal pages.
For details, see Migrate from the Virtual Agent Service Portal widget.

New in the New York release

Natural Language Understanding in Virtual Agent


Apply a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) model to your topics so that your virtual agent
can better understand and process user statements during virtual agent conversations. Your
virtual agent recognizes and maps user utterances (statements) to specific intents (user goals)
and associated entities (objects or values) defined in an NLU model. The CSM, HR Service
Delivery, and ITSM applications provide base system NLU models and associated predefined
topics.
With NLU enabled, your virtual agent can perform:
• Topic discovery: Determine what a user wants (intent) and launch the appropriate
conversation topic that maps to the user intent. A topic has a single intent that you specify in
Virtual Agent Designer.
• Entity extraction: Extract the object for an action from a user statement during a conversation,
for example, a laptop model, case number, or person's name. The virtual agent then matches
the extracted entity with the input variable that fulfills or completes the action, without
prompting the user for additional information.
• Conversation switching: Users can change the topic during a conversation. If an intent exists
for the switched topic, your virtual agent finds and presents the appropriate topic. You can
also allow users to resume the original conversation.

Standard conversational elements for topics


Select basic conversational elements (like a standardized greeting) that apply to all your topics
as part of a standard conversation framework. The Virtual Agent platform provides these prebuilt
topics:
• Setup topics (also known as conversation blocks): Common, reusable conversational
elements automatically applied to all your Virtual Agent conversations, such as the welcome
greeting or a standard error message presented to the user. Each setup topic displays at the
appropriate point in a conversation flow, for example the initial greeting or the conversation
closing. You can also create your own custom setup topics. Setup topics apply to keyword-
based or NLU conversations.
• Small talk topics: Casual conversations that enable users to chat with the virtual agent on
other topics within a conversation, for example to ask for the time or date. You can create
your own small talk topics to provide responses to casual questions, such as information on
store hours. Small talk topics require corresponding intents, which you define in an NLU model.

Topic categories
Create or modify custom categories to classify and organize related conversation topics for
easier topic management.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

• IBM Watson Assistant Intent and Entity Integration: Use the intents, entities, and utterances
(called examples) defined in the IBM Watson NLU service and apply them as an NLU model
for your Virtual Agent conversations.
• IBM Watson Assistant Chat integration: Configure the IBM Watson Assistant Chat integration to
run a dialog skill (conversation) created in IBM Watson Assistant as a topic in the Virtual Agent
web client.

NLU prediction log


When designing or debugging NLU-enabled topics, check the Open NLU Predict Log table
to review the NLU prediction scores returned by the NLU service during topic discovery (intent
matching) and entity extraction.
Reviewing topics in conversation flows
When reviewing or debugging topics, check the Conversation [sys_cs_conversation] table
for details on the conversations run in your instance. For each conversation record, the
Conversation Task [sys_cs_conversation_task] table lists all the topics run during a conversation
session. The Conversation Message [sys_cs_message] table shows the corresponding messages
displayed for each topic in the conversation. For example, you can view the sequence of topics
in the conversation at a specific time.
Open NLU Resource API
Use the Open NLU Resources REST APIs to get information about NLU models and their intents,
entities, and utterances, outside of the Virtual Agent platform.
Messaging integration with Facebook Messenger
Set up the Virtual Agent integration for the Facebook Messenger application. Admins control
whether end users must link their ServiceNow accounts to the Messenger integration before users
can run the Virtual Agent bot in Facebook Messenger.

Changed in this release

Virtual Agent client interface (end user) enhancements

• web client interface:


• + option for starting or ending a conversation, which was formerly available in the More
options menu.
• Topic search and pagination controls
• New color theme and heading for Live Agent chat interface

been installed or provisioned, and the detailed configuration of each item.

Proactive customer service operations


Proactively create cases from alerts, either manually or through automation. Identify customers
and their corresponding install base items affected by the issue causing the alert. When multiple
customers are affected, you can resolve these cases using the major issue management
process.

verification link is sent to the specified email address. Once verified, users can log in with their

Finance Close Automation release notes


ServiceNow® Finance Close Automation (FCA) is a new application in the New York release.
With Finance Close Automation, use workflows and automation to accelerate your finance close
processes and reduce your finance close risks. The application simplifies the accounting and
finance close process for your organization. You can post journal entries, manage timelines for
close tasks, and perform end-to-end accounting procedures in a centralized location.

Finance Close Automation features

Close Task management


Create a workbook for an accounting period, add close tasks in it, and define dependencies
between tasks. Because the finance close is a repetitive process, you only need to create the
workbook once for the first period. From then on, you can just duplicate the workbook from the
prior period.
Close Management Portal for managing Finance Close
Track and manage your tasks for an accounting period at a single location, from the Close
Management Portal. From this portal, you can view the close progress at the user level, function
level, or finance organization level and see and address bottlenecks and overdue activities. The
data that you see in the portal depends on your role.
Integration with GRC Policy and Compliance
Reduce your finance close risks by integrating with the GRC Policy and Compliance application.
With this integration, you can manage and monitor whether SOX policies, SOPs, and Controls are
in compliance and you can sign off on control attestations. This integration also expedites the
audit cycle by automating the evidence collection process.
Automated Journal Entries with real-time ERP integration (SAP and Oracle)
Configure FCA to integrate with your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to automate
journal entries in real time. For example, you can:
• Post journal entries into your ERP system
• Reverse journal entries in the ERP system
• Automatically reverse accruals in the ERP system
• Assign recurring close tasks to be automatically accrued each period

FCA supports multi-ERP integrations in a single instance. In the New York release, integration with
SAP and Oracle ERP systems is available.
FCA provides a generic way to define header and line templates. With this, FCA supports
different journal entry templates for different ERPs or it can support a different template for each
function within an ERP.

Customizations using FCA extension points


Implement customizations without altering the base code when you use FCA extension points.
Easy configuration with Guided Setup
Configure FCA on your instance by using the Finance Close Automation Guided Setup. The
Guided Setup provides a sequence of tasks that help you with the configuration.
Application-specific admin role
FCA uses application administration and Finance close admin (sn_fcms.finance_close_admin) as
the application-specific admin role. For more information, see Application administration.
Quick start tests for FCA
Validate the continued functionality of FCA after any configuration change such as an
upgrade or after developing an application. All test suites and tests should pass on a default
implementation. To validate a custom implementation, copy the automated tests and configure
them for your customizations.

Activation information

Install the Finance Close Automation application from ServiceNow Store applications. Visit the
ServiceNow Store website to view all the available apps and for information about submitting
requests to the store.>

Additional requirements

The integration of FCA with your ERP system requires an installed and configured MID Server in your
ServiceNow instance. This MID Server integration is required only for an ERP integration that uses
SOAP services.

Related ServiceNow applications and features

Planned Task_v2
The plugin (com.snc.planned_task_v2) enables task management and opening of the Planning
Console in FCA.
Fiscal Calendar
FCA requires the Fiscal Calendar application to create fiscal calendars with defined fiscal
periods such as one month long, four weeks long, Q1 2019, or July 2019.
GRC: Policy and Compliance Management
The store application provides a centralized process for creating and managing policies,
standards, and internal control procedures that are cross-mapped to external regulations and
practices. FCA integrates with GRC to reduce finance close risks.

HR Service Delivery release notes


ServiceNow® HR Service Delivery product enhancements and updates in the New York release.
HR Service Delivery is an integrated suite of applications designed to create a consumer-like
service experience while increasing HR productivity. Whether it is a simple request for information,
or a multi-departmental process like onboarding, employees have a single place for all their
service needs.

New York upgrade information

• (Enterprise Onboarding and Transitions only) If you have lifecycle event activities with HR
criteria, a new audience record will be created for that HR criteria and associated with the
activity to define whether the activity should trigger for a lifecycle event case.
• If you are upgrading from the Istanbul release, there is a new field in HR document templates.
The Document type field helps to determine what document displays for a specific HR case.
For example, you can ensure that your Employee Verification letter appears on the Request
an Employment Verification Letter HR case. Because Istanbul did not have this field, you
must create a new document type or select an existing document type for your document
templates. See Using document types with HR document templates.
• When upgrading from any release prior to Kingston, and you have customizations that
reference script includes:
• You may experience issues with Restricted Caller Access (RCA) errors in certain HR
functionality.
• Refer to HR Service Delivery upgrade information.

New in the New York release

Case and Knowledge Management


Standardize the documentation, interaction, and fulfillment of employee inquiries and requests,
improving HR efficiency and services over time.

Now Mobile for HR Service Delivery


Enable your employees to view HR requests, request help, complete HR tasks, and more using
the new Now Mobile app for HR Service Delivery.
Components installed with Now Mobile for HR Service Delivery
The Human Resources Scoped App: Mobile [com.sn_hr_mobile] plugin activates the
sn_hr_mobile.min_admin_count system property [sys_properties.list]. This property prevents you
from deleting your only Mobile admin user by requiring a minimum number (default is two) of
active users with this role.
E-signature
Sign electronic documents from any desktop or mobile device with e-signature. E-signature
is a scoped application that enables users to sign managed documents, knowledge
articles, or HR document templates with their typed or drawn signature, credentials, or as an
acknowledgment.
The e-signature [com.snc.esign] plugin activates the sn_esign.min_admin_count system
property [sys_properties.list]. This property prevents you from deleting your only e-signature
admin user by requiring a minimum number (default is two) of active users with this role.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Work an HR case
Add an HR task to an HR case
New features for HR case and task are:
• You can now use Rich Text Format (RTF) in the Description field for an HR case or task.
Using RTF for an HR case or task description provides a better user experience so you can
emphasize specific text. It also retains the formatting on the Employee Service Center.
• You can allow your employees to respond to HR cases or tasks from a personal email
account. When the sn_hr_core.restrict_guest_email system property is False (default), the
text from an email appears in the Work notes field.

Response templates for HR Service Delivery


You can restrict visibility to response templates by groups. This restriction ensures that the correct
response appears for an HR case and ensures a consistent and efficient process for HR agents
with their responses.
The Response Templates [com.sn_templated_snip] plugin activates the
sn_templated_snip.min_admin_count system property [sys_properties.list]. This property prevents
you from deleting your only Response Template admin user by requiring a minimum number
(default is two) of active users with this role.
Reclassify an HR case
You have new options when transferring an HR case from one HR service to another. You can
create a new HR case number or retain the original case number when performing a transfer.
You can also create your own transfer type configurations. You can also determine what HR
agents can see the transfer type.
SAP SuccessFactors integration for employee to-dos
Synchronize employee to-dos between HR Service Delivery and SAP SuccessFactors so that
employees can access their to-dos from either system. This creates a connected experience
that directs employees to the system of origin to complete their to-dos. For example, employees
would be able to view their SuccessFactors to-dos in the Employee Service Center.
Auto-close an HR case
You can automatically close an HR case after all to-dos (or mandatory to-dos) are complete.
This option is available for HR services fulfilled by a service activity or lifecycle event.
DocuSign integration
Integrate with DocuSign so that users can electronically sign documents through the DocuSign
service. The integration utilizes the DocuSign spoke from IntegrationHub, and supports the use
of both HR document templates and DocuSign templates. It also includes two preconfigured
HR services for making requests.
Collect employee input with employee forms
Collect employee input without creating additional case records or adding new fields to
existing tables with employee forms. Employee forms are questionnaires built using the survey
designer that you can use in HR tasks to verify or update employee information. The information
collected can be mapped directly to fields on a target table. You can also use HR criteria to
query answers for use in downstream processes, such as for lifecycle event activities.
Configure an HR service
You can now configure HR services with a flow fulfillment type. Using a flow fulfillment type
automates the process with a sequence of reusable actions.

of triggers for the start date. And, you can configure the start and end dates with offsets.
Offsets help you define an end date by moving it forward or backward depending on the

You can add approvers for content you want to appear on the portal. Content publishes after
approval. If you don't require approvals, content appears immediately or when scheduled.

HR Service Delivery upgrade information


Upgrading from any release prior to Kingston can result in Restricted Caller Access (RCA) errors in
certain HR functionality. For example, when submitting requests from the Employee Service Center
(ESC) or HR service portal.

Changes to RCA configuration on upgrade

Errors can occur if you have customizations that reference script includes.
Script includes prior to the upgrade are Caller Access = None. This setting prevents affecting
current functionality when you install the Scoped Application Restricted Caller Access
[com.glide.scope.access.restricted_caller] plugin.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

The next upgrade and any subsequent upgrades you take, it’s possible some of your script
includes can have their Caller Access set to Caller Restriction. Some of these potential RCA errors
can affect submitting requests from the ESC or HR service portal.

Actions
If you are on Madrid or greater, you can run the Automated Test Framework (Quick Start Tests).
These tests identify any affected script includes and to ensure that basic functionality is intact.
For flagged issues:
• Add the RCA privilege files to your configuration.

Note: For script includes that are not causing issues, keep Caller Access = Caller
Restriction. This setting prevents outside code from accessing these scripts.
• Or, reset your script includes that are causing errors because of these changes to Caller
Access = None.

Note: This setting customizes the script include and makes it more difficult to receive
future base system fixes and features that affect the script.

Upgrading could affect these script includes:

Information Portfolio

Capture the information from the assets of your organization as information objects. You can
connect the information object to your business applications to have a portfolio of application
information ready and accessible to use at any time.

not related to any business application. You can then relate them to your applications to get
a complete information portfolio.
• Integrate with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) to become aware of the risks that
your applications are exposed to. You can also track the progress of the audit engagements
on your business applications.
• Use the APM Home portal to see statistics such as the total number of database instances
connected to database catalogs, the number of database catalogs related to information
objects, and the number of data domains that are interlinked to your business applications.

application of your organization as the Platform Host architecture type.

instead of having to track the individual applications.

software model and the application services that the business applications support.
• Retain your filter preferences that you've set to filter your business applications. Your filter

separate timelines instead of a single source that has the least sequence number.

Enhancements in capability-based planning (CBP) view

• Customize the Hierarchy ID field to use your own preferred hierarchy ID by setting the system
property flag to true.
• View the services that are related to a selected business capability. Sort, search, and

Operational Intelligence release notes


ServiceNow® Operational Intelligence product enhancements and updates in the New York
release.
Operational Intelligence is an add-on application to the ServiceNow® Event Management
application, with a key preventive role in a service-centric solution for reducing service outages.
With Operational Intelligence, you can proactively identify service issues, pinpoint service
outages, and automate remediation.
Operational Intelligence captures raw metric data from various data sources such as the
SolarWinds monitoring server and the Nagios XI server. Then, based on the analysis of the historical
metric data, Operational Intelligence detects anomalies that Event Management may not
capture.
Operational Intelligence generates anomaly alerts that you can promote to regular Event
Management alerts. Those alerts appear on the Alert Console and service health dashboard,
and you can use Alert Intelligence in the ServiceNow® Agent Workspace application to manage
the alerts.

New York upgrade information

After you upgrade all the Operational Intelligence ServiceNow® MID Servers in the MID Server
distributed cluster to New York, restart the MID Servers in the cluster:
1. Stop all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster.
2. Wait for all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to be stopped.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

3. Start all the Operational Intelligence MID Servers, one MID Server at a time.

Some data might be lost between the time that the MID Servers upgrade starts and until the
completion of the MID Servers restart after upgrade. If you are using connectors, then you can
minimize this data loss by disabling the metric connectors before starting the upgrade. After the
upgrade completes:
1. Set the max_fetch_interval_min parameter to the time length that the connectors were down.
2. Enable the connectors to pull the missing data.

Anomaly detection

• The action level of anomaly detection can be configured to manage overall data load
as needed. Use the anomaly_detection_action_level configuration setting to increase or
decrease the anomaly detection processing that is applied to specific configuration items
(CIs) and metrics at different stages of implementation.
• The time series modeling and anomaly score calculations accuracy is improved. These
improvements provide more robust anomaly detection and fewer false positives through
dynamic threshold analysis of control factor.

Insights Explorer

• Open the application service map for an application service that appears in Insights Explorer.
• Operational Intelligence MID Servers support higher metric ingestion rate. This ability reduces
the Insights Explorer refresh interval to a minute and therefore, the metric data that you view
in Insights Explorer is more up to date.

users who have Discovery.
All Discovery users get the File-based Discovery plugin [com.snc.discovery.file_based_discovery]
when they upgrade to the New York release however, it will not be activated. To avoid
impacting performance, File-based Discovery is disabled by default for all users.

IAM roles on AWS EC2 instance profiles


ServiceNow® MID Server applications running on AWS EC2 instances, properly configured,
benefit from IAM roles configured with an EC2 instance profile. Discovery uses temporary security
credentials that are retrieved via the AWS Instance Metadata Service. For more information, see
Amazon Web Services documentation on IAM roles for Amazon EC2 and EC2 instance profiles.
Pattern deployment for IT Operations Management
Use the latest available patterns from the ServiceNow Store for horizontal and top-down

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Discovery Manager wizard helps to quickly create cloud Discovery schedules. Select the
accounts and subaccounts to discover, the credentials for accessing these accounts, and the
MID Servers to scan the resources. You can add accounts and credentials with the wizard or go
directly to Guided Setup to create an additional MID Server.
Discovery Home page
Discovery home page provides a new tile to view the results of a cloud Discovery. Click the
Cloud Resources tile to display a chart of the different resources discovered.
GETBULK settings
GETBULK request allows you to retrieve a large amount of data in batches, reducing the number
of requests and reducing latency. In previous versions, the SNMP probe parameter [use_getbulk]
allowed you to configure GETBULK at the probe parameter only. Now, you can set for individual
MID Servers or globally for all MID Servers using [mid.snmp.use_getbulk].
• SNMP probe parameters [use_getbulk]
• MID Server configuration parameter [mid.snmp.use_getbulk]
• MID Server properties [mid.snmp.use_getbulk]

If you previously had this probe parameter set to Off, the global settings remain Off to avoid
unnecessary issues. You can set the parameter to True to turn GETBULK on. If you previously had
this probe parameter turned On, the global settings remain On.

IP address reconciliation
IP address reconciliation code has been updated to prevent duplicate IP addresses from being
inserted in the IP address [cmdb_ci_ip_address]tables. Previously, some configuration items (CIs)
with the same serial number under the same schedule could be discovered.
Probe to pattern migration
Probe to pattern migration is only supported for the New York release and later. See the
Switching from Probe-based Discovery to Pattern-based Discovery [KB0694477] article in the HI
Knowledge Base for more information.
Shazzam probe for SNMP devices
Shazzam probe now targets sysObjectID (OID) rather than sysDescr, because the latter can be
empty. If there's no response, the Shazzam sensor doesn't trigger the SNMP - Classify probe.
Shazzam payload controls
Shazzam probe payload is no longer controlled by probe parameters. This
payload is now controlled by the MID Server properties: shazzam.chunk_size,
mid.shazzam.regulator.packets_per_interval, and mid.shazzam.regulator.interval_ms. The
properties can be added to MID Servers and adjusted to change the probe payload settings.
It's not necessary to add these properties because the Shazzam probe falls back on the default
value of each property.
Windows Discovery optimization
A script is now run to offload work to the remote Windows systems to enhance efficiency of the
Windows Discovery probe. It's a requirement that these remote Windows systems run PowerShell
2.0 or higher (up to 5.0) to allow the script to run properly.
The Windows-installed software probe has been updated to enhance performance. This probe
now uses the $admin share folder as the default. When the MID Server queries the target, the
output is now written as JSON instead of XML. For more information on Windows Discovery, see
the knowledge base article KB0752537.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

There is a new probe parameter output_format that controls the output format of the probe
and should not be changed. The probe post-processing script was updated to handle the new
format. You must have a minimum of 10 MB of free space for this to work.

Windows Server 2019


New York release supports the discovery of Windows Server 2019 and Microsoft Hyper-V server
running on Windows Server 2019.
Windows probes
All Windows probes using WMI protocol now use the $admin share folder as the default to
enhance performance. If another network share is mounted on each Window's target, the folder
may be changed by updating the MID Server property mid.powershell.target_base_dir.

Dynamic Translation release notes


ServiceNow® Dynamic Translation is a new feature in the New York release.
For a seamless localization experience, you can use translation service providers and enable the
translation of dynamically generated text, such as user-entered text on various forms.

Dynamic Translation features

Dynamic translation on forms


Enable dynamic translation for the supported fields on ServiceNow platform forms by adding the
Dynamic Translation Enabled attribute (dynamic_translation_enabled) in the system dictionary
for a field. The text is translated dynamically based on the language of the user working on the
form.
IntegrationHub spokes for dynamic translation
Connect to a translation service provider by invoking translation as part of a workflow using
ServiceNow®IntegrationHub spokes, if you have the admin role. By default, spokes are available
for Microsoft and IBM. Sign up for Microsoft or IBM accounts and provide the credential keys in
the ServiceNow system.
Translator configuration
Configure a translator configuration to integrate with any translation service provider of your
choice, if you have the admin role. You can activate this configuration and make it the default
configuration if required. All Dynamic Translation APIs use the default translator configuration if
you do not specify the translation service provider while calling these APIs.
Dynamic Translation APIs
Use the DynamicTranslation API to translate text in real time into multiple languages using
translation service providers. This API is available as part of Server APIs, Client APIs, and Service
Portal APIs to interact with translation service providers.

Activation information

Activate the Dynamic Translation plugin (com.glide.dynamic_translation).

Monitor the health of multiple domains with the Domain Separation Center dashboard.
Event metrics trend information

Analyze security compliance and trend information for event metrics on the Instance Security
Center event ribbon. Click an event metric to access the Analytics Hub page and view the trend
detail for your instance. You can set up event thresholds that trigger alerts for low compliance
scores, and also define targets that let you better visualize score differences for an event.

Gather security requirements and enable controls using Top Recommendations questionnaire
Use the Top Recommendations questionnaire to determine the security risk tolerance of your
organization. With this questionnaire, you can gather security requirements for your company
and harden the security controls in each selected category. Its use ensures that your instance
complies with the published security hardening standards and your company's security
requirements.
Application administration
You can set a property to require that more than one user must have the application-specific
admin role for a scoped application. Assigning the application-specific admin role to multiple
users reduces the risk of getting locked out of the scoped application.

Automated Test Framework release notes


ServiceNow® Automated Test Framework product enhancements and updates in the New York
release.
Create and run automated tests to confirm that your instance works after making a change.
For example, after an upgrade, during application development, or when deploying instance
configurations with update sets. Review failed test results to identify the changes that caused the
failure and the changes that you should review.

New York upgrade information

Copy and customize ServiceNow platform-provided quick start tests to validate that your instance
works after you make any configuration changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or
develop an application.
The tests can only produce a pass result when you run them with the default demo data that's
provided with the application or feature plugin. To apply a quick start test to your instance-
specific data, copy the quick start test and add your custom data. See Available quick start tests
by application or feature.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

New in the New York release

Attachment test steps


Test an attachment-dependent business rule by uploading an attachment either from a form or
from a server-side API call. For example, you can have a business rule that doesn't let you close
an incident without an attachment such as a screenshot.
Parallel testing
Reduce testing time by running multiple tests and test suites in parallel. Design tests to run in
parallel by avoiding resource conflicts and data dependencies.
Mutually exclusive tests
Prevent conflicting tests from running in parallel by marking them as mutually exclusive. For
example, when the system identifies tests that modify the same record, the system makes these
tests mutually exclusive. You can also manually mark tests as mutually exclusive.
Create a User
Create a user with specified roles and groups for the test. The user record gets rolled back after
the test completes.
Roll back in browser sessions
The session cookies roll back all the changes made during a test. When a test is running,
everything performed in that session is recorded for rollback. Don't modify your instance when
a test is running in the same browser session. For example, if you modify records while a test is
running in the same session, the changes are rolled back after the test completes.

Changed in this release

Record Query
Record query enforced ACL rules during step execution.
Create an automated test steps template
The test template now supports catalog items and record producer along with the tables.

Activation information

Now Platform feature - active by default.

Note: By default, the system property that is used to run automated tests is disabled to
prevent you from accidentally running these tests on a production system. To avoid data
corruption or an outage, run tests only on development, test, and other non-production
instances. See Enable or disable executing Automated Test Framework tests.

To use the quick start tests for an application, activate the plugin that is associated with the
application. See Available quick start tests by application or feature for plugin requirements.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Browser requirements

Automated Test Framework only supports running tests from desktop browsers. You can't run
tests or test suites from tablets, mobile browsers, or the mobile UI. Some desktop browsers require
additional configuration. See Browser recommendations for Automated Test Framework.
Automated Test Framework offers limited support for test design on tablets. You can't add new
custom UI test steps from tablets because tablets can't retrieve any components. You can review
existing custom UI test steps that were added from a desktop browser.

Advanced Work Assignment release notes


ServiceNow® Advanced Work Assignment product enhancements and updates in the New York
release.
With the Advanced Work Assignment (AWA) application, work items are automatically routed
and assigned to your agents, based on the agent availability, capacity, and optionally, skills.
AWA pushes work to qualified agents using work item queues, routing conditions, and assignment
criteria that you define. Agents use their Agent Workspace inbox to set their availability, see their
work items, and accept or reject work items.
With AWA, agents no longer manually choose work items from queues, because work is delivered
directly to their inbox.

New in the New York release

Set up a custom service channel


Set up custom service channels so that your organization can support a wider range of requests.
In the Madrid release, you could only use four default service channels: Chat, Case, Incident,
and Walk-up. Now, in addition to the four default channels, you can create a service channel
from any Task [task] or Interaction [interaction] table.

Changed in this release

Monitor work items with multiple Performance Analytics dashboards


Let your managers monitor agent conversations and tasks so that their agents can better
support requests. Previously, managers could track chat and case work items on a single
Performance Analytics dashboard. Now your managers can monitor work items that are routed
through any one of your service channels — on two different dashboards. One dashboard
contains data for Task [task] work items and the other contains data for Interaction [interaction]
work items.
Set the maximum wait time for chat queues
Help your agents fulfill requests more efficiently by setting the maximum amount of time that an
agent has to accept or reject a chat request. When the time runs out, the requester receives a
message saying that no agent is available to chat.
Track work item queues according to their record numbers
Reference a work item queue more precisely by referring to its number. Previously, queue records
were not numbered, but now queue records have numbers that start with QUE. You can search
for queues by their number, and agents can transfer conversations to another queue when they
type /tq "<queue_number>" in Agent Workspace chat. For more information on inserting slash
commands in agent conversations, see Quick actions in Agent Workspace chat.

Agent Workspace release notes


ServiceNow® Agent Workspace product enhancements and updates in the New York release.

New York upgrade information

For the New York release, you can use the Declarative Actions framework to exclude New UI
actions, instead of adding tables to the New Button List Exclusions [sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table.
A migration script runs when you upgrade your instance, so any tables in the New Button List
Exclusions [sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table migrate to the new framework. If you want to exclude
additional tables, use the Action Assignment module.
If your instance partially upgrades from the Madrid release to the New York release, your instance
runs Agent Workspace on the Madrid release.

New in the New York release

Customizable Agent Workspace landing page

The Agent Workspace landing page displays a set of reports that are the initial view of your
agent’s workspace. You can customize your landing page layout (header, containers, and
widgets) and incorporate reports, such as a report that shows trending issues, to appear on the
page.

Similarity Analyzer for trend recognition


Define patterns and trends that can help with resolving issues or tasks. By using definable
Predictive Intelligence similarity solutions, the Similarity Analyzer can reference such trends as
common resolutions, linked problems, major incident detection, and linked major incidents.
If you enable Agent Assist Recommendations, you can recommend solutions to agents for
recognizable trends.
Agent Assist Recommendations
Configure Agent Assist Recommendations to display recommended actions when specified
trends result from similar incidents. After you enable and configure Predictive Intelligence
and the Similarity Analyzer, you can define the recommendation for messaging, display, and
actions for the specified trends. You can also prioritize recommendations to ensure that the best
recommendations appear in a logical order for multiple trends.
Agent Workspace form updates

• Administrators can add highlighted values to the secondary values in the form header.
Reference fields that display as secondary values open the corresponding record in a child
tab.
• Administrators can use Workspace View Rules to control which form view renders for their
users. Conditions can be set on roles or field values.
• Agents can add tags to records. Tag visibility can be set to all users, visible only to specific
groups or users, or visible to a single user.
• Agent Workspace supports uploading file attachments via drag and drop, uploading multiple
file attachments, and previewing an image attachment before upload.

Agent Workspace list updates

• List UI actions: By enabling new OOB UI actions on full lists, agents can multi-edit records and
assign records to themselves. For scalability, the New list UI action administers through the

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

new Declarative Action framework. You can exclude New UI actions from tables using the
Action Assignment module, which replaces the task of adding tables to the New Button List
Exclusions table.
• List multi-edit: Agents can update multiple records in a list at one time.
• List export: List records can export into CSV, XLSX, JSON, or PDF files. Agents can choose to
download the file or send via email.
• List quick edit: Agents can view record information and the activity stream and also apply
changes to a single record without leaving their list.
• List grouping: Agents can group lists by a single column.
• List column filtering: Agents can quickly filter a list via column headings without having to
open the advanced filter.

Quick actions (slash commands) in chat


Set up shortcuts in Agent Workspace chat so agents can work more efficiently with their
customers. Agents can trigger a quick action by entering the slash (/) followed by a command
shortcut in the chat message box. For example, agents can enter the quick action command
/ta <agent name> to transfer a chat to another agent or /tq <queue name> to transfer the
chat to another queue.
Response templates
Create response templates that define standard messages or information that agents can see
when they are working on cases or incidents, or when they are chatting with customers in Agent
Workspace. For example, in the chat message box, agents enter the quick action command
(/r) followed by a message shortcut to display a list of standard response templates. Users with
the quick_action_admin role can create response templates and activate base system response
templates.
Antivirus scanning
Use antivirus scanning to protect against virus infections from file attachments. After you upload
a file, the system automatically scans all files for viruses. You cannot view or download a file with
a virus.
Phone e164 support
Phone e164 field types support international phone numbers. This functionality supports
international country codes, which makes it easier for agents to properly store and use contact
information.

Changed in this release

Combine Agent Assist with Predictive Intelligence in the contextual sidebar


Agent Assist and Predictive Intelligence now merge into one component, which makes it easier
for agents to find information to resolve incidents and cases. These components use machine
learning and similarity trend recognition to identify the most relevant major incidents, incidents,
problems, changes, cases, knowledge articles, catalog items, or community content.
Preview image attachments
You can preview an image attachment before downloading from the Agent Workspace Activity
Stream or from the attachment section in the contextual side panel.

Configuration Management Database (CMDB) release notes


ServiceNow® Configuration Management Database (CMDB) product enhancements and
updates in the New York release.
With Configuration Management Database (CMDB), you can build logical representations of
assets, services, and the relationships between them that make up the infrastructure of your
organization. Details about these components are stored in the CMDB. Use the CMDB to monitor
the infrastructure, which helps to ensure integrity, stability, and continuous service operation.

New York upgrade information

For pre-existing duplicate CIs, the master CI is unknown. The discovery data source is also
unknown because the discovery_source attribute was set to ‘Duplicate’. After the upgrade,
the duplicate_of attribute for those duplicate CIs is set to ‘Unknown’ and the discovery_source
attribute remains ‘Duplicate’.
After the upgrade, some pre-existing identification inclusion rules that are configured for the
duplicate metric, might conflict with newly created health inclusion rules for the duplicate metric.
After the upgrade, create new corresponding health inclusion rules to replace any pre-existing
identification inclusion rules that you used exclusively with the CMDB Health dashboards.

New in the New York release

Quick start tests for Configuration Management Database (CMDB)


After upgrades and deployments of new applications or integrations, run quick start tests to
verify that CMDB still works. If you customized CMDB, copy the quick start tests and configure
them for your customizations.

Changed in this release

Duplicate CIs

• Internal processing of duplicate CIs uses the new duplicate_of attribute instead of the
ServiceNow Discovery discovery_source attribute to maintain data integrity that is associated
with duplicate CIs. The Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) no longer changes the
value of the discovery_source CI attribute to ‘Duplicate’ to denote a duplicate CI. Instead,

and/or other countries. Other company names, product names, and logos may be trademarks of the respective companies with which they are associated. 122
ServiceNow New York New York release notes

IRE sets the duplicate_of attribute as a reference to the master CI of the duplicate CI (if
known).
• You can now apply health inclusion rules to the CMDB Health duplicate metric instead of
using an identification inclusion rule. The CMDB dashboard then shows a smaller subset of
duplicate CIs that require remediation. This is supported only in the global domain.

CMDB Query Builder

• Include a non-CMDB table in a CMDB query. For example, including the Task or the Request
table in a CMDB query lets you query for CIs that are associated with incidents. You can use
the glide.cmdb.query.non_cmdb.black_listed_tables property to exclude non-CMDB tables
from the list that appears in Query Builder. The default non-CMDB tables list includes common
tables such as Task, Request, and Incident.
• Export a query definition that you previously saved to an XML file for importing in another
environment. For example, you can import a query definition from a test environment to a
production environment.
• Toggle between list view and card view in the Saved Queries tab of the CMDB Query Builder.
• Enable the Display Results in New Tab setting to show query results in a new separate tab
instead of underneath the Query Builder canvas.

CMDB property pages


View and edit properties for CMDB features in a centralized user interface. Navigate to
Configuration > CMDB Properties to access:
• Identification/Reconciliation properties
• Query Builder properties
• Duplicate CI Remediator properties
• Baseline properties
• Dependency Views properties

CMDB Identification and Reconciliation

• When constructing an input payload in Identification Simulation , use the Copy Script button
to copy JSON scripts to the clipboard. You can then paste that script into a third-party
software or to another screen of the identification simulation, and run it.
• When applying CI Identification and Reconciliation to import sets, you can configure a target
table per record in the import set. If you specify different target tables, records from the same
import set are imported to multiple target tables.
• Improved performance of the identification engine: For optimization, allow local caching
of the default number of query result entries for independent CIs. This number is set by the
system property glide.identification_engine.independent_items_local_cache_count.

Tables added to the CMDB


The following tables are added.
Class Label Class Name
DRS VM Config cmdb_ci_drs_vm_config
Information Object cmdb_ci_information_object

MID Server release notes


ServiceNow® MID Server product enhancements and updates in the New York release.

New York upgrade information

If you have installed your own Java Runtime Environment (JRE), the upgrade process takes the
following actions to ensure that the MID Server is using a supported JRE:
• If an unsupported version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is running on a MID Server
when it is upgraded, the upgrade process replaces that JRE with the OpenJDK that is bundled
with the MID Server installer.
• If a supported JRE is running on the MID Server host, the upgraded MID Server uses that Java
version.

The auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in New York has changed. The MID Server no longer
receives its upgrade through the instance, as it did in previous releases. All MID Server host
machines now require access to the download site at install.service-now.com to enable
auto-upgrades. For additional details about how MID Server upgrades are managed and where
to look for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
In the New York release, only one Windows MID Server service is permitted per executable path.
Upgraded Windows MID Servers that have multiple services pointing to the same installation folder
are prevented from starting. See MID Server fails to start for more information.
For more information about MID Server upgrades, see:
• MID Server pre-upgrade check: Describes how the AutoUpgrade monitor tests the MID Server's
ability to upgrade on your system before the actual upgrade.
• Upgrade the MID Server manually: Describes how to upgrade your MID Servers manually.

Inbound Email trigger in Flow Designer


Start a flow when your instance receives an email. Inbound email flows take priority over inbound
email actions. If you create flows with inbound email triggers, emails are first processed by the
inbound email triggers before they are processed by inbound email actions.
Get Email Header action in Flow Designer
Access an email header value as a data pill in a flow.
Move Email Attachments to Record action in Flow Designer
Move attachments from an email to a record so that the files are available to your users when
they view the record.
Look up email attachments action in Flow Designer
Look up files that are attached to an email so that you can perform an action on the files.
Performing the action generates a list of Email Attachment [sys_email_attachment] records,
which you can access as a data pill.
Associate Record to Email action in Flow Designer
Associate a record with an Email [sys_email] record so that you can track which record is
affected by the email.
Email Attachments [sys_email_attachment] table
Track attachments that come from emails by reviewing the Email Attachments table. The
Attachment field references a file in the Attachments [sys_attachment] table, and the Email field
references the Email [sys_email] record to which the file is attached. If populated, the Action
field indicates what action was taken on the email attachment.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Attachments are assigned unique identifiers


Refer to an attachment more precisely by using its hash. A hash is a 64-character identification
number that uniquely identifies the content of an attachment. You can use the hash to target
specific attachments in Flow Designer. Also, if you script an inbound email action to attach files
to a record, email attachments are not attached to the target record if an attachment with an
identical hash exists. A record is created in the Email Attachments [sys_email_attachment] table.
This record contains the attachment file name and the reason that it was filtered from the target
record. The file remains in the Email [sys_email] record.

Changed in this release

Inbound email attachments that exceed size constraints do not attach to the target record
When an attachment for an inbound email exceeds the size limit, the attachment is discarded.
A record is created in the Email Attachments [sys_email_attachment] table containing the
discarded file name and the reason it was discarded. The discarded file remains in the Email
[sys_email] record.
Attachment handling in email client configuration
By default, attachments that are sent from the email client are attached to the target record.
Instead, you can select to attach files to the Email [sys_email] record, or you can set conditions
that define which email client attachments are added to the target record.
Email Client Quick Message Author role
A new role has been created to let more users write quick messages for the email client. Assign
the email_client_quick_message_author role to business managers so that they can create quick
messages for users in their group.
Variable for current users in the email client
The ${current_user} variable in quick messages or email client templates lets users reference
themselves in emails that they send from the email client.
Condition field in Email Client Quick Message
A condition field has been added in the quick messages form to let authors identify the target
record in which the quick message is available in the email client.

Removed in this release

The glide.ui.email_client.attach_to_email_record_until_sent system property, which controls how


attachments are handled in email client, is deprecated. As of the New York release, you can
configure attachment handling in the Email Client Configuration module.

Now Platform User Interface release notes


ServiceNow® user interface product enhancements and updates in the New York release.

New York upgrade information

Starting with the New York release, ServiceNow encodes the URIs associated with the modules
in the navigation pane. When upgrading to New York, existing URIs for custom modules might
break if you used arguments with non-URL-encoded characters, for example, an equals (=)
sign. Arguments and filter conditions become part of the URI. If an argument started with an
ampersand (&), or if you used a conditional filter and an argument but did not prepend the
argument with a caret (^), the module URIs may break. A simple revision can prevent that from
happening. For more information, see Encoding module URIs.

Activation information

The user interface is part of the core platform and does not require special activation.

Integration upgrade information


• Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Prior to London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, the Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration used an identifier from
the Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse that was not unique across multiple data warehouses.
Starting with London v6.2 and Kingston v5.1, the nexpose_id, which is globally consistent,
replaced it.
If you have an existing Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version earlier than London v6.2 or
Kingston v5.1, and you upgrade to the latest Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version, you may
get a "Import relies on nexpose_id" error. In that case, you need to update the SQL query sent
to your Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse with the nexpose_id. Without it, various features
of Vulnerability Response and Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration will not work properly. See
KB0751331 to add the nexpose_id to the SQL import query.

Note: This is true for a Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse upgrade or to migrate from the
Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse to Rapid7 InsightVM.
• Qualys Vulnerability Integration
To reduce upgrade time, if you have the Qualys product or a third-party integration installed,
delete all attachments on your integration data sources. You can find the attachments
by navigating to System Import Sets > Administration > Data Sources and searching by
integration. See Manage attachments for more information.

• For releases prior to Kingston, during upgrade the Vulnerable Item table is reparented to
improve performance. If you have a large number of vulnerable items, the upgrade process
may take additional time. No special handling is needed, however, stop any Vulnerability
Response activities prior to upgrade and record your vulnerable item count.
• Once complete, verify that your pre- and post-upgrade vulnerable item counts
match. For more information on the impact of reparenting, see the Upgrade impact of
reparenting change in the Kingston release [KB0680550] article in the ServiceNow® HI
Knowledge Base. For information on the upgrade impact to existing instances, see the

override a software model that's specified with the next version.

Note: Once you upgrade, you may see a change in your reconciliation results.
Downgrade rights that are added by Content on license entitlements are used to
evaluate the rights needed for compliance.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

• When downgrade rights or next version is set, a new software model is created if one
doesn’t exist. This creation could result in duplicate software models because the Version
and Edition values on the existing software model are used to check if a software model
exists.

• Any existing entitlements with Per Core (Physical Core) and Per Core (Virtual OSE) license
metrics are upgraded to the new Per Core license metric.

Note: Once you upgrade, you may experience a change in your reconciliation
results. Rights are calculated for both Per Core (Physical Core) and Per Core (Virtual
OSE). The results display the option that results in the lowest number of rights needed.
• On the Software Entitlement form, the Agreement type None is no longer supported and
any agreements with this value are upgraded to the type Generic.

• Citrix Publisher pack


• Software that's delivered through Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop is licensed based on
potential access rather than actual usage. During the upgrade, all existing installations for
software delivered through Citrix are deleted. However, the referenced Discovery models
are not deleted. On the next execution of discovery, after the upgrade, all the installations
based on potential access are created and associated to the existing ServiceNow®
Discovery models. Discovery must be executed within three weeks of the upgrade.

Note: If Discovery isn't run during the three-week time frame, an existing scheduled
job deletes any orphan Discovery models without installation records. Recreating
these Discovery models causes unnecessary rework.

• SAP publisher pack


• Download the latest SAP ABAP code from the Downloads menu under the SAP Compliance
and Optimization module. ABAP code deployed in an SAP environment should be
compatible with the ServiceNow release.

• A new field, License under management, has been added to software models, which
indicates whether the software model is included in the Software Asset Management license
compliance reports. This field value is set to true for all upgraded software models; this value
doesn't impact compliance reports.
• To unlock the new SaaS License Management features, enable the following new plugins:
• SaaS License Management (included with the Master plugin)
• SaaS License Management Integrations (included with the Master plugin)
• Spend Detection (you must first get the Software Spend Detection SKU at no additional cost,
before you request this plugin in ServiceNow® HI)

• In-flight transfer orders created for fulfillment of IT equipment requests, created as part of
the HR Onboarding flow, are upgraded to include the fulfillment tasks - Ready for fulfillment,
Prepare for shipment, Ship, Receive, and Deliver. Tasks completed before the upgrade for
the transfer order line to reach that stage are closed. For example, if a transfer order line is in
Shipment Preparation stage, then the tasks for Ready for fulfillment and Prepare for shipment
are closed. These tasks would have been completed before the upgrade.

Note: Once you upgrade, you see that new open fulfillment tasks appear in the transfer
order. Close these tasks to move the transfer order through the fulfillment process.

Upgrade and migration information

Before you upgrade to New York, review the upgrade information for any products you may have.
Some products require you to complete specific tasks before you upgrade.
Application or feature Details

Advanced Work If you are using Connect Support and want to move to Advanced Work
Assignment Assignment and Agent Chat, see Migrate from Connect Support to
Advanced Work Assignment and Agent Chat.

Agent Workspace For the New York release, you can use the Declarative Actions framework
to exclude New UI actions, instead of adding tables to the New Button List
Exclusions [sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table. A migration script runs when
you upgrade your instance, so any tables in the New Button List Exclusions
[sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table migrate to the new framework. If you want
to exclude additional tables, use the Action Assignment module.
If your instance partially upgrades from the Madrid release to the New York
release, your instance runs Agent Workspace on the Madrid release.

Antivirus Scanning Antivirus Scanning scans all the document types that are supported by the
Now Platform® in New York. Some attachments might be unavailable for
downloading if the security scan fails, or if the attachment is vulnerable.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details

Asset Management • In-flight transfer orders created to fulfill IT equipment requests are
upgraded to include the following fulfillment tasks: Ready for fulfillment,
Prepare for shipment, Ship, Receive, and Deliver. These in-flight transfer
orders are created as part of the HR Onboarding flow. Stages of the
fulfillment tasks that were completed before the transfer orders were
upgraded are closed. For example, if a transfer order line is in the
Shipment Preparation stage, then the Ready for fulfillment and Prepare
for shipment stages are closed because the tasks were completed
before the upgrade.

Note: Once you upgrade, you see that new open fulfillment
tasks appear in the transfer order. Close these tasks to move the
transfer order through the fulfillment process.

Authentication If you are upgrading an instance that uses the Multi-SSO plugin for SAML,
you should contact ServiceNow Customer Support for guidance before
you upgrade.

Automated Test Copy and customize ServiceNow platform-provided quick start tests
Framework to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration
changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.

Cloud Management • Upgrade from any version of Cloud Management version 2 (starting in
the Kingston release) is supported.
• Catalog items created from cloud-native templates in releases prior
to the Madrid release are treated as blueprint-based catalog items.
As a result, you cannot modify the underlying template. There is no
workaround.

Configuration For pre-existing duplicate CIs, the master CI is unknown. The discovery
Management data source is also unknown because the discovery_source attribute
Database (CMDB) was set to ‘Duplicate’. After the upgrade, the duplicate_of attribute for
those duplicate CIs is set to ‘Unknown’ and the discovery_source attribute
remains ‘Duplicate’.
After the upgrade, some pre-existing identification inclusion rules that are
configured for the duplicate metric, might conflict with newly created
health inclusion rules for the duplicate metric. After the upgrade, create
new corresponding health inclusion rules to replace any pre-existing
identification inclusion rules that you used exclusively with the CMDB Health
dashboards.

Dashboards Responsive dashboards enabled by default on upgrade to New York


Responsive dashboards are now enabled automatically upon upgrade
to New York. Responsive dashboards have a more intuitive interface and
are easier to share and edit than non-responsive dashboards. For more
information, see the following topics:
• Differences between homepages and responsive and non-responsive
dashboards
• Working with responsive dashboards

If your instance requires non-responsive dashboard functionality, you can


disable responsive dashboards.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details

Discovery During upgrade to the New York release, the April 2019 (1.0.39) release
of Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns is automatically installed for
Discovery customers.

Important: It may make the upgrade time longer depending


on your CMDB size. To decrease the upgrade time, install the
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns from ServiceNow Store
before upgrading to the New York release.

The process of upgrading from Madrid to New York deactivates all


Discovery schedules for cloud resources (VM). Schedules deactivated
during the upgrade appear in the list view of the Discovery Schedule
[discovery_schedule] table with a Run status of undefined. These schedules
cannot be used to discover cloud resources either when run immediately
or on the day and time configured. After upgrade, open your cloud
schedules in the Discovery Manager and re-activate them.

Event Management The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create
upgrade plans and test your upgrade on non-production instances before
upgrading your production instance.

Field Service When you upgrade your mobile application, you may have to migrate
Management customizations from earlier releases manually or using ServiceNow Studio.
The CMS portal plugin (com.snc.work_management.cms) is planned for
deprecation.

Flow Designer • During upgrade, a fix script converts the system


property com.snc.process_flow.reporting.enabled to
com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level. The former system property value
of false is converted to the new value of Off. The former system
property value true is converted to the new value Flows Actions
and Steps.
• Record-based flows created before the Madrid release continue to run
as the System user after upgrade. To change how upgraded flows run,
edit the flow properties. By default, new flows you create run as the user
who triggers the flow.
• Flows created before the Madrid release that use the Always trigger
option instead use the Only if not currently running trigger option after
upgrade. To change when upgraded flows run, edit the flow trigger
options.

ITOM Health The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create
upgrade plans and test your upgrade on non-production instances before
upgrading your production instance.

MID Server The auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in New York has changed. The
MID Server no longer receives its upgrade through the instance, as it did
in previous releases. All MID Server host machines now require access to
the download site at install.service-now.com to enable auto-
upgrades. For additional details about how MID Server upgrades are
managed and where to look for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
In the New York release, only one Windows MID Server service is permitted
per executable path. Upgraded Windows MID Servers that have multiple
services pointing to the same installation folder are prevented from starting.
See MID Server fails to start for more information.
For more information about MID Server upgrades, see:
• MID Server pre-upgrade check: Describes how the AutoUpgrade
monitor tests the MID Server's ability to upgrade on your system before
the actual upgrade.
• Upgrade the MID Server manually: Describes how to upgrade your MID
Servers manually.

Mobile platform During the upgrade to the New York release, the instance is updated to use
the new mobile hierarchy, which includes new features such as application
launchers and a configurable navigation bar. Any unmodified base system
mobile applications that are installed on your instance are automatically
updated to work with the new design and can be used with Studio right
away. For more details on the mobile hierarchy, see ServiceNow mobile
app configuration.
Modified base system applications and applications that you have created
in Studio will continue to work after the upgrade, but they will not be
configurable in Studio until after you run the mobile migration script. For
additional details on the migration script, see Migration from Madrid to New
York mobile.

Application or feature Details

Operational Intelligence After you upgrade all the Operational Intelligence ServiceNow® MID
Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to New York, restart the MID
Servers in the cluster:
1. Stop all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster.
2. Wait for all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to be
stopped.
3. Start all the Operational Intelligence MID Servers, one MID Server at a
time.

Some data might be lost between the time that the MID Servers upgrade
starts and until the completion of the MID Servers restart after upgrade. If
you are using connectors, then you can minimize this data loss by disabling
the metric connectors before starting the upgrade. After the upgrade
completes:
1. Set the max_fetch_interval_min parameter to the time length that the
connectors were down.
2. Enable the connectors to pull the missing data.

Password Reset • The Password Reset application is a platform feature and is upgraded
by default.
• The new Password Reset Spoke plugin [com.sn.password_reset.ah] is
activated by default.
• The Password Reset application is not available during the upgrade
process.
• If you are using the Local ServiceNow credential store: For new
installations and updates to instances that are not domain-separated
and where Password Reset workflows have not been modified: The
instance will use IntegrationHub subflows to perform Password Reset
operations. The Password Reset workflows that were used in earlier
releases are no longer used.
• If you are using an Active Directory (AD) credential store: For new
installations and updates to instances where:
• The instance is not domain-separated and
• Password Reset workflows have not been modified and
• The Microsoft AD spoke is activated on the instance

The instance will use IntegrationHub subflows to perform Password Reset


operations. The Password Reset workflows that were used in earlier
releases are no longer used.
• For updates to instances where Password Reset workflows have been
modified or where the instance is domain-separated, IntegrationHub
subflows are not implemented. Password Reset operations continue

Agile execution type.
• If there are only tasks associated with the project, then existing
projects with the Null execution type are migrated to the Waterfall
execution type.
• If there are tasks and stories associated with the project, then existing
projects with the Null or Waterfall execution type are migrated to the
Hybrid execution type.
After the migration of existing projects upon upgrade, the related
lists and links on the Project form and widgets in the Analytics tab of
the Planning Console also change based on the updated project
execution type.

Service Portal • By creating an Agent Chat portal configuration, your end users can
initiate and maintain an Agent Chat conversation in any portal page.
This feature replaces the Virtual Agent Service Portal widget. If your
portal includes this widget, remove Virtual Agent Service Portal widget
instances and configure Agent Chat support for a portal instead. See
Configure Agent Chat in Service Portal.
• The Now Platform collects search data and analytics that generate
search suggestions. If you are upgrading from a previous release, the
search analytics do not contain any data yet. To immediately provide
suggestions to your users, you can populate the search suggestions
using data from either the Text Searches [text_search] table or the
Service Portal Log Entries [sp_log] table. For more information, see
Populate search suggestions in Service Portal.
• If you have custom search widgets, they do not automatically collect
search data and analytics to generate suggestions. To benefit from
this new feature, you can either migrate search to use the base system
Faceted Search widget, or configure your search widget to collect
search data using the GlideSPSearchAnalytics API. For API reference,

administration.

Note:
Once enabled, Application administration cannot be disabled.

Integration upgrade information


• Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Prior to London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, the Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
used an identifier from the Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse that was
not unique across multiple data warehouses. Starting with London
v6.2 and Kingston v5.1, the nexpose_id, which is globally consistent,
replaced it.
If you have an existing Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version earlier
than London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, and you upgrade to the latest
Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version, you may get a "Import relies
on nexpose_id" error. In that case, you need to update the SQL query
sent to your Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse with the nexpose_id.
Without it, various features of Vulnerability Response and Rapid7
Vulnerability Integration will not work properly. See KB0751331 to add the
nexpose_id to the SQL import query.

Note: This is true for a Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse


upgrade or to migrate from the Rapid7 Nexpose data
warehouse to Rapid7 InsightVM.
• Qualys Vulnerability Integration
To reduce upgrade time, if you have the Qualys product or a third-party
integration installed, delete all attachments on your integration data
sources. You can find the attachments by navigating to System Import
Sets > Administration > Data Sources and searching by integration. See
Manage attachments for more information.

Vulnerability Response Features available from the ServiceNow Store:

Vulnerability Solution Management


Version 8.0: Automatically correlate the vulnerabilities in your environment
with the solutions that would remediate them. Identify the remediation
actions that apply to your environment and prioritize them by the greatest
reduction in vulnerability risk. Available as a separate subscription within
Vulnerability Response, Vulnerability Solution Management contains
solution integrations such as the Microsoft Security Response Center
Solution Integration.

Note:
Preferred Solutions in vulnerability, vulnerable item, and
vulnerability group records are derived from the Microsoft Security
Response Center Solution Integration imports and not third-party
vulnerability integrations.
Tenable and some Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE)
vulnerabilities with long summaries can cause excessive cell
heights in the vulnerability list view on solution records.

Risk Score calculator enhancements


Version 8.0: Configure your calculators with finer granularity. These
calculators provide consistent risk scores across all vulnerable items so you
can effectively prioritize the vulnerabilities in your environment.
The Default Risk Calculator and Vulnerability Severity calculators are
shipped with the base system.
Vulnerability Calculators have replaced Vulnerability Calculator Groups
for calculating the base Risk Score.

Remediation Owner Role


Version 8.0: Automatically receive access to vulnerability
entries and solutions assigned to you or your group using the
sn_vul.remediation_owner role. By default, the itil role contains the
sn_vul.remediation_owner role.
Mobile experience for Vulnerability Response
Version 8.0: Access the VR application on your Now Platform instance
directly from your mobile device with the Vulnerability Response mobile
app.
• View vulnerability groups. You can view and update your vulnerability
groups to drive the vulnerability group through its remediation process.
• Notifications: You can set up your mobile device to receive
notifications about your most current business-critical vulnerability
items. You can view and edit the related vulnerability group assigned
to you or your team directly from the notification.

New in existing integrations


Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Tenable for Vulnerability Response v2.0
Version 8.0
• When Tenable for Vulnerability Response v2.0 vulnerabilities are
imported before their corresponding NVD entries, those vulnerabilities
are not associated with the NVD vulnerabilities later. Ensure that NVD
imports are up-to-date, and periodically re-import the full Tenable
Knowledge Base (KB).

Advanced Work Monitor work items with multiple Performance Analytics dashboards
Assignment
Let your managers monitor agent conversations and tasks so that their
agents can better support requests. Previously, managers could track
chat and case work items on a single Performance Analytics dashboard.
Now your managers can monitor work items that are routed through
any one of your service channels — on two different dashboards. One
dashboard contains data for Task [task] work items and the other contains
data for Interaction [interaction] work items.
Set the maximum wait time for chat queues
Help your agents fulfill requests more efficiently by setting the maximum
amount of time that an agent has to accept or reject a chat request.
When the time runs out, the requester receives a message saying that no
agent is available to chat.
Track work item queues according to their record numbers
Reference a work item queue more precisely by referring to its number.
Previously, queue records were not numbered, but now queue records
have numbers that start with QUE. You can search for queues by their
number, and agents can transfer conversations to another queue when
they type /tq "<queue_number>" in Agent Workspace chat. For more
information on inserting slash commands in agent conversations, see
Quick actions in Agent Workspace chat.

Agent Workspace Combine Agent Assist with Predictive Intelligence in the contextual
sidebar
Agent Assist and Predictive Intelligence now merge into one component,
which makes it easier for agents to find information to resolve incidents
and cases. These components use machine learning and similarity trend
recognition to identify the most relevant major incidents, incidents,
problems, changes, cases, knowledge articles, catalog items, or
community content.
Preview image attachments
You can preview an image attachment before downloading from the
Agent Workspace Activity Stream or from the attachment section in the
contextual side panel.

Removed features and products in New York


Cumulative release notes summary on features that were removed from New York features and
products.

Removed features

Some features were removed as part of New York product updates.


Application or feature Details

Agile Development 2.0 From the Agile Development application navigator, removed the:
• Planning menu option. For release planning, use the Backlog Planning

• Daily Stand Up Boards menu option. Track the progress of your scrum
tasks in the Task Board view on the Sprint Tracking tab.
• Backlog and Release Backlog menu options. Create a personalized
backlog using the Personal backlogs menu option.

Cloud Management • Because the Cloud Management application uses an improved


discovery process, you no longer perform discovery on an entire cloud
account. Instead, in the Cloud Admin Portal, you schedule discovery
for each service account. See Schedule discovery of all resources in a
service account.

Contextual Search • In the Table configurations form, the When to display section does not
appear when the UI type is Workspace. The message Agent Assist
Display Condition has been moved to Declarative
Action Assignments appears.
• Recommendation is no longer included in the list of additional
resources.

Facilities Service Space management, facilities move management, and interactive facility
Management maps are no longer available for new customers. ServiceNow still supports
these features for existing customers.

Financial Management The following functionalities are no longer available unless you have an
ITBM Analyst license:
• Create, clone, or download cost models.
• Ability to modify cost model segment hierarchy.
• Financial Charging application.

Flow Designer The com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level system property replaces the


com.snc.process_flow.reporting.enabled system property. A fix script
converts this property and its values during upgrade.

Mobile platform • Folders are no longer used to organize applets. You can now use
applets in Application Launcher pages.

Notifications The glide.ui.email_client.attach_to_email_record_until_sent system


property, which controls how attachments are handled in email client, is
deprecated. As of the New York release, you can configure attachment
handling in the Email Client Configuration module.

available to provide a better experience.

Software Asset • The following charts are removed from Citrix Publisher Overview:
Management
• Top 5 Products Installed: this chart is replaced by the Software
Products in the Citrix Farms chart.
• Application Usage Trend: this chart is removed because licensing is
based on potential access instead of actual usage.

• The Per Core (Physical Core) and Per Core (Virtual OSE) metrics are
deprecated from the New York release. Any existing entitlements
using Per Core (Physical Core) and Per Core (Virtual OSE) metrics are
replaced with the Per Core metric. You may see a change in your

Upgrade to New York


The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow release version. Understand the
difference between upgrading and patching, release definitions, rollback and backup options,
and how to test your non-production and production instance upgrades.

Important: For an in-depth explanation of the upgrade process, refer to Upgrade your
instance.

Before you begin the upgrade process, read the New York release notes and review the upgrade
and migration tasks for your applications and features.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

System upgrades can be significant projects. Each ServiceNow feature release includes major
additions, and you should always consider the impact of new functionality on an instance.
Upgrading implements enhancements to all features that are part of the base system or are
already active, unless the feature is customized on your instance. For a list of all available plugins
and whether they are active by default on the base system, see List of plugins (New York).
Careful preparation and knowledge of the available software, tools, and resources can
contribute to a successful upgrade. In addition to the materials provided by ServiceNow,
it is important to understand how your ServiceNow instance is currently operating and the
performance level of key business functionality. Set the expectation with IT and business users that
time must be dedicated to preparing for, implementing, and testing ServiceNow upgrades.
If you have any issues during the upgrade process, contact ServiceNow Customer Support.
ServiceNow Customer Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you with any
questions or issues.
For additional help with upgrades, ServiceNow also offers various Production Readiness Services.
These services specifically address challenges with instance upgradability, manageability,
scalability, and performance. The reviews are performed by a ServiceNow-certified professional
consultant, who provide recommendations to align customer configurations with ServiceNow best
practices. Contact your ServiceNow sales representative for more details.

Upgrade and update durations in New York


The upgrade process takes a significantly shorter time for both updates and upgrades. (An
update occurs when an instance moves from one patch or hotfix to another within the same
release family. An upgrade occurs when an instance moves from one release family to another).
As always, test your upgrades, but don't assume from the much faster completion time that the
update or upgrade wasn't successful.

Supported upgrades

You can upgrade directly to the latest release family. If multiple software versions are involved in
your upgrade, be sure to consult the release notes for each version between your current version
and the target version. For more information about release terminology and availability phases,
see the ServiceNow Release Cycle [KB0547244] article in the HI Knowledge Base.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Upgrades and the ServiceNow Store

The ServiceNow Store includes official applications that are developed and released by
ServiceNow. Users can download, access, and configure ServiceNow Store apps on their
instances.
Starting in the Madrid release, new versions for a ServiceNow Store app can be defined in patch
and family releases. This includes the ability to define a minimum version and/or a hotfix for a
version you already have installed. From Madrid onwards, if your instance has an installed app
version below the defined minimum version, the app will be upgraded to the minimum required
version. Similarly, if your instance has an installed app below the defined hotfix version, your app
will be upgraded to the hotfix version.
For example, consider an application that defines these versions in a release: 1.7.1, 2.4.0, and 3.0.1.
In this example, version 1.7.1 is the minimum version. Versions 2.4.0 and 3.0.1 are hotfix versions.
When an instance upgrades to the release version, the following behavior occurs:

Minimum version upgrades

Version installed before the upgrade Expected version after the upgrade
1.0.0 1.7.1 - The version upgrades to the minimum
version
1.3.2 1.7.1 - The version upgrades to the minimum
version
1.7.1 1.7.1 - The version stays the same, because the
instance was already on the minimum version
1.7.2 1.7.2 - The version stays the same, because the
instance was already ahead of the minimum
version

Hotfix version upgrades

Version installed before the upgrade Expected version after the upgrade
1.8.0 1.8.0 - The version stays the same, because the
instance was already ahead of the defined hotfix
version
2.0.0 2.4.0 - The version upgrades to the defined hotfix
version
2.6.0 2.6.0 - The version stays the same, because the
instance was already ahead of the defined hotfix
version
3.0.0 3.0.1 - The version upgrades to the defined hotfix
version
3.0.5 3.0.5 - The version stays the same, because the
instance was already ahead of the defined hotfix
version
4.0.0 4.0.0 - The version stays the same, because there
are no hotfix versions defined for 4.0.0+.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Upgrades vs. updates

ServiceNow organizes its releases into families. A family is a set of releases that are named after
a major city, such as New York. Families also contain patches and hot fixes. For example, the
following releases are both part of the Madrid family:
• Madrid Patch 4
• Madrid Patch 3 Hot Fix 2

Upgrading is the act of moving to a release that is in a different family than your current release.
For example, a move from London Patch 7 to Madrid Patch 3 is an upgrade because London and
Madrid are different families.
Updating is the act of moving from one patch or hotfix to another within the same release family.
For example, a move from Madrid Patch 1 to Madrid Patch 3 is a update because both versions
are part of the London family.
In both cases, the target release is Madrid Patch 3. It is the difference between your current and
target release family that determines whether you are upgrading or updating.

Features, patches, and hot fixes

Each release family contains features, patches, and hotfixes.


A feature provides a complete solution that customers can implement to add value to their
organization. New features are generally only available as part of a feature release. Features are
supported with patches and hot fixes.

Type Scope
Feature • Introduces new features
• Includes all available fixes to existing functionality
• Is production-oriented; quality and stability are of the highest priority
throughout the life cycle

Patch • Supports existing functionality with a collection of problem fixes


• Generally does not include new features

Hot Fix • Supports existing functionality with a specific problem fix for a feature
release
• May or may not include any previous fixes for a given release
• Does not include new features

For more information about release terminology and availability phases, see the ServiceNow
Release Cycle [KB0547244] article in the HI Knowledge Base.

Rollbacks and backups

When you plan an upgrade, remember that ServiceNow does not provide a universal rollback
option. Rollbacks are available for upgrades (for example, New York patch-to-patch and New
York patch-to-hotfix). The rollback window is 10 days by default. You can customize this window by
modifying the glide.rollback.expiration_days property. To request a rollback, contact ServiceNow
Customer Support.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Avoid restoring a production instance from backup, when possible, due to downtime and data
loss. When a problem cannot be solved using other methods, restoring a production instance from
backup is a final option. ServiceNow can restore an instance to any point in time, regardless of
when a backup is completed. ServiceNow provides customer support 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week for assistance with critical post-upgrade issues.

Note: ServiceNow does not perform on-demand backups. Instances are automatically
backed up daily during non-peak business hours on schedules defined by ServiceNow. The
timing of existing backup schedules is not adjusted.

Testing throughout upgrades

Testing is an integral portion that occurs after each instance is upgraded. After you upgrade an
instance, test and validate it.
This instance naming convention assumes that you have three ServiceNow instances. If you have
three instances, upgrade your instances in this order:
1. Development
2. Test
3. Production

If you have more or less than three instances, or if you are using Team Development, these
instance labels will be different. In general, upgrade your instances furthest from production
towards your production instance.

Instance Type of testing required


Development • Conduct smoke tests.

Test • Use the ServiceNow Automated Test Framework to assist you in testing
your non-production instances.
• In the Madrid release, Automated Test Framework quick start tests were
introduced. Many products include testing suites to help you jump start
your testing before and after upgrades. For a list of available tests and
activation information, see Quick start tests.
• For extra testing coverage, you can also conduct user acceptance
testing (UAT) on your non-production instances.

Production • Conduct UAT.

Note: The Automated Test Framework is intended for use on non-


production instances. On your production instance, conduct UAT
only.

If you encounter any post-upgrade issues, document the issue's conditions, steps to reproduce the
issue, and your customizations. Contact ServiceNow Customer Support to open an incident for
each issue, and provide this information accordingly. ServiceNow Customer Support is available
24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you with any questions or issues.

Upgrade your instance


Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning, testing, and validation. To ensure a safe
and effective upgrade, read the release notes, create upgrade plans, and test your upgrade on
non-production instances before upgrading your production instance.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Important: These topics contain in-depth explanations about upgrades. For a step-by-step
reference of upgrade steps, refer to the Upgrade planning checklist (New York).

Phase 1 - Read the release notes and plan your upgrade


Before you begin the upgrade process, it is essential to read the release notes for
your target version so you understand the required upgrade and migration tasks.
This information helps you plan a safe and effective upgrade.

Phase 2 - Prepare for the development instance upgrade


For a better understanding of your production upgrade duration, request a full
clone of your production instance (including large tables and attachments) onto
a non-production instance. Confirm your current and target release versions,
because you will later use this information when scheduling your upgrade in HI.

Phase 3 - Verify your upgrade configurations and schedule the development


instance upgrade in HI
Check the configuration of the Upgrade scheduled job to view how often and
when it runs. Review information about timing your upgrade in coordination with
the Upgrade scheduled job. Then, schedule your upgrade in HI.

Phase 4 - Upgrade and validate the development instance


Track the progress of your upgrades with the Upgrade Monitor. For your first non-
production instance upgrade (your development instance), use the Upgrade
Monitor to process the skipped list of records that were not addressed in the
upgrade. Then identify your update sets and perform functional testing.

Phase 5 - If applicable: Upgrade and validate your other non-production instances,


such as your test instance
If you have any other non-production instances in addition to your development
instance, such as a test instance, request to upgrade these instances. Request
these upgrades after you have configured and refined your development
instance. Immediately after the upgrade is complete, apply the post-upgrade
changes made to your development instance, including activating optional
plugins, installing and upgrading applications, and applying update sets.

Phase 6 - Prepare to upgrade the production instance


After you have configured and refined your test environment to be a good
representation of your production environment, prepare to upgrade your
production instance.

Phase 7 - Upgrade the production instance


After you have upgraded your development, non-production, and test instances,
© 2019 ServiceNow, Inc. All rights reserved. upgrade your production instance last. Then validate that the upgrade was

acceptance testing (UAT).
ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Phase 1 - Read the release notes and plan your upgrade


Before you begin the upgrade process, it is essential to read the release notes for your target
version so you understand the required upgrade and migration tasks. This information helps you
plan a safe and effective upgrade.

Important: If multiple software versions are involved in your upgrade, be sure to consult the
release notes for each version between your current version and the target version.

1. Read the release notes for your target version. Review upgrade and migration tasks that you
will need to complete before or after your upgrade.
ServiceNow provides release notes for every release. The release notes offer valuable
information about new functionality, notable changes, and fixes available in a particular
version. Read the New York release notes to determine whether the upgrade contains
functionality you need and fixes that resolve any issues affecting your instance. The release
notes can also help you determine whether items you previously customized are being
upgraded. For New York-specific upgrade considerations, see Pre- and post-upgrade tasks
for various products.For a downloadable, sortable version of New York fixed problems, see
KB0748891.
2. Complete the preparation and planning tasks in Phase 2 of the Upgrade planning checklist
(New York).
The checklist contains a list of planning tasks that guide you through various aspects of
upgrade preparation. You are guided through tasks such as scoping, gathering stakeholders,
identifying features to disable and enable, and creating test plans to use throughout the
upgrade. Follow these steps to ensure that all aspects of your organization are ready for the
upgrade.
3. To better prepare for the upgrade, evaluate the level of customizations on your instances.
For information on customization best practice guidelines, refer to the Customer Success
Center's Define business case guidelines page.

Complexity score Customization examples


Low • Modification to form layout/design
• Add fields and/or UI policies to forms
• Build simple custom integration
• Extend an existing table (such as incident) in scope with new
fields only

Low-medium • Extend an existing table (such as incident) in scope with some


scripting
• Extend an existing table (such as incident) as the basis for a
different application, such as HR

Medium Build a new scoped application


Medium-high Build a new global application
High • Change baseline business rules (such as modifying the SLA
process)
• Build a complex custom integration

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

4. Create a comprehensive test plan that includes test cases for all core instance functionality
and integrations, including any customizations you may have.
To efficiently test and evaluate system functionality, create a set of detailed test scripts for
your testing team to use. You will use this test plan throughout each instance upgrade.

Instance Type of testing required


Development • Conduct smoke tests.

Test • Use the ServiceNow Automated Test Framework to assist you in


testing your non-production instances.
• In the Madrid release, Automated Test Framework quick start tests
were introduced. Many products include testing suites to help
you jump start your testing before and after upgrades. For a list of
available tests and activation information, see Quick start tests.
• For extra testing coverage, you can also conduct user
acceptance testing (UAT) on your non-production instances.

Production • Conduct UAT.

Note: The Automated Test Framework is intended for use


on non-production instances. On your production instance,
conduct UAT only.

Phase 2 - Prepare for the development instance upgrade


For a better understanding of your production upgrade duration, request a full clone of your
production instance (including large tables and attachments) onto a non-production instance.
Confirm your current and target release versions, because you will later use this information when
scheduling your upgrade in HI.
1. On your production instance, create a system clone and select your development instance
as the Target instance.
The clone provides you with an exact copy of production. Performing an upgrade on
your clone allows you to simulate an upgrade on your production configuration in a non-
production environment. Refer to System clone for details.

Important:
For effective upgrade testing, use this clone to test on a system that reflects the
production instance as closely as possible. If your non-production and production
instances are the same size, include the production audit log and the attachment
data on your production clone. To ensure that all production data is included with the
clone, make sure that you clear all the Exclude check boxes on the Request Clone
form. On your non-production instance, replicate typical user behaviors that occur on
your production instance to enhance an estimate of your upgrade duration.

2. Set expectations for performance during upgrades.


During an upgrade, your performance may be impacted because your nodes initiate
the distribution upgrade. All nodes are restarted during an upgrade, but your multi-node
instances are available during an upgrade because ServiceNow instances operate on a
multi-node system. This multi-node system staggers node distribution upgrades, ensuring that
there is at least one active pair of nodes for multi-node instances during an upgrade.

© 2019 ServiceNow, Inc. All rights reserved.

and/or other countries. Other company names, product names, and logos may be trademarks of the respective companies with which they are associated. 389
ServiceNow New York New York release notes

To help you set accurate expectations for performance during upgrades, be aware of the
differences between the nodes on your non-production and production instances. Instances
with one node experience a short period of downtime during the upgrade, but multi-node
instances do not have UI downtime. For details on your nodes and their status, see the
Upgrade Progress.

Phase 3 - Verify your upgrade configurations and schedule the development


instance upgrade in HI
Check the configuration of the Upgrade scheduled job to view how often and when it runs.
Review information about timing your upgrade in coordination with the Upgrade scheduled job.
Then, schedule your upgrade in HI.
You must check the configuration of the Upgrade and Check Upgrade Script sys_triggers, which
are essential to making sure your instance upgrades to the correct target version.
sys_trigger Function
Upgrade • Queries HI to ask whether an upgrade is going to happen in a given
time interval, which is determined by the configuration for the Upgrade
scheduled job.
• Asks whether the instance should be running a different version. If so, the
distribution for that version is downloaded, and your instance upgrades
to the target version.

Check Upgrade Script • Runs after the distribution has been upgraded.
• Performs the database upgrade.

Important: Your upgrades are orchestrated out of your instance, not HI.

HI keeps records of what version you should be running, and your instance periodically queries HI
to check its assigned version. When you designate a time for your upgrade, your instance begins
the upgrade at that time. For example:
Action Result
You schedule an upgrade to New York Patch 8 to HI changes its records to reflect that you should
take place on June 10 at 3:00pm. be on New York Patch 8 on June 10 at 3:00pm.
HI waits to get pinged by your instance after the Your instance continues to operate on its current
scheduled time on June 10. release version, and it periodically pings HI.
After the scheduled time on June 10, HI receives HI tells your instance that it should be on New York

Phase 4 - Upgrade and validate the development instance


Track the progress of your upgrades with the Upgrade Monitor. For your first non-production
instance upgrade (your development instance), use the Upgrade Monitor to process the skipped
list of records that were not addressed in the upgrade. Then identify your update sets and perform
functional testing.

© 2019 ServiceNow, Inc. All rights reserved.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

The Upgrade Monitor module: Upgrade an individual instance helps you upgrade an individual
instance. You can monitor the progress of an upgrade and resolve conflicts between the
upgrade and customizations.
1. Using the Upgrade Monitor, monitor the upgrade to your instance and validate that the
upgrade to your development instance is complete.
2. After the upgrade for your development instance is complete, process the skipped records list
in the Upgrade Monitor.
As you are processing the skipped list, you may merge and revert records, resolve conflicts for
an individual record, and make additional customizations. These changes go into the latest
version, which goes into your current update set.
3. Identify your update sets.
You need these update sets for your subsequent non-production instances. If there are issues
that must be addressed after the upgrade, make the appropriate changes and they will go
into your current update set. Collect the update sets that:
• Were created while reviewing the skipped updates list.
• Were created while changing customizations to work with the latest release.
• Must go live immediately after your next upgrade.

Gathering these update sets before your upgrade expedites the process of exporting,
importing, and committing them onto your other instances. After the correct update sets are
identified, follow the standard process for moving and applying those update sets. Refer to
System update sets for details.
4. Before and after upgrading, conduct smoke tests on your development instance. Use your
comprehensive test plan to perform functional testing.
After upgrading, track any defects or deviations from the pre-upgrade testing results. Defect
tracking can help identify root causes and create fixes. When a fix is identified, capture the
fix in a single update set. The resulting update sets hold the cumulative fixes that should be
applied to the production instance.
To help automate your testing and validation on non-production instances, use the
Automated Test Framework. In the Madrid release, Automated Test Framework quick start
tests were introduced. Many products include testing suites to help you jump start your testing
before and after upgrades. For a list of available tests and activation information, see Quick
start tests.

Phase 5 - If applicable: Upgrade and validate your other non-production


instances, such as your test instance
If you have any other non-production instances in addition to your development instance, such
as a test instance, request to upgrade these instances. Request these upgrades after you have
configured and refined your development instance. Immediately after the upgrade is complete,
apply the post-upgrade changes made to your development instance, including activating
optional plugins, installing and upgrading applications, and applying update sets.
This instance naming convention assumes that you have three ServiceNow instances. If you have
three instances, upgrade your instances in this order:
1. Development
2. Test
3. Production

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

If you have more or less than three instances, or if you are using Team Development, these
instance labels will be different. In general, upgrade your instances furthest from production
towards your production instance.
After you have applied your development update sets to your test instance, perform the following
tasks on your test instance (and other non-production instances, if applicable).
1. Create a system clone down from your production instance.
2. Schedule the non-production upgrade in HI and verify your upgrade configurations.
3. Validate that the upgrade to your non-production instance is complete.
4. Install any optional plugins that were installed on your development instance.
5. Install any custom applications and post-upgrade fix scripts that you need.
6. Install update sets.
Use these update sets to move your initial changes into your subsequent non-production
instances.
7. Perform functional testing and monitor the performance of your instance.
Reproduce the typical user activities that occur on your production instance. The Automated
Test Frameworkcan greatly assist you in testing your non-production instances. In the Madrid
release, Automated Test Framework quick start tests were introduced. Many products include
testing suites to help you jump start your testing before and after upgrades. For a list of
available tests and activation information, see Quick start tests. For extra testing coverage,
you can also conduct user acceptance testing (UAT).

Phase 6 - Prepare to upgrade the production instance


After you have configured and refined your test environment to be a good representation of your
production environment, prepare to upgrade your production instance.
To ensure that all stakeholders in your company are prepared for the final production upgrade,
complete the administrative planning tasks in Phase 6 of the Upgrade planning checklist (New
York). When upgrading a production instance:
• Obtain confirmation from IT and management that all non-production instance defects have
been fixed, validated, and included in an update set.
• Use the change management process established by your organization to track the upgrade.
• Communicate effectively with your user community regarding changes, new features, and
process updates resulting from the upgrade.
• Negotiate a suitable upgrade time for all users of the ServiceNow system.
For example, schedule the upgrade after hours, to minimize impact to your users. Remember
to schedule the upgrade to occur 15–20 minutes before the Upgrade scheduled job interval.
• Allow time in your change window to run all test cases and validate that all integrations,
key business functionality, and system performance are acceptable. Add a time buffer for
responding to errors without breaching the change window.

1. Profile the performance of your instance before upgrading.


Pre-upgrade instance validation can provide a reliable benchmark of the current operating
environment and alert you to any issues that may appear after the upgrade. For example,
it sometimes appears that specific functionality is broken by an upgrade. Analysis might
show that the functionality did not work properly in the production instance, even before the
upgrade.
Before performing the upgrade, analyze the current operating environment. Specifically,
review:
• Key functionality

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

• Integrations
• Instance performance

2. Use the ServiceNow Performance homepage to document the performance of your instance
before the upgrade.
You will later compare and contrast this information during your post-upgrade validation and
testing. Benchmarks will be different for each of your instances.
To access the ServiceNow Performance homepage:
a) Log in to your instance.
b) From the list in the top left of the instance homepage, select ServiceNow Performance.

3. On your clone, perform functional testing and monitor the performance of your instance.
Replicate typical user behaviors that occur on your production instance. Assign a consistent
core team of power users and key stakeholders to validate important functionality in the
ServiceNow instance before and after upgrades.

Phase 7 - Upgrade the production instance


After you have upgraded your development, non-production, and test instances, upgrade your
production instance last. Then validate that the upgrade was complete, apply update sets and fix
scripts, and perform post-upgrade user acceptance testing (UAT).
1. Schedule the upgrade in HI.
a) Log in to HI.
b) Click Instances in the left navigation menu.
c) Select Manage Instances.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Some applications or features require that some tasks are completed before and after your
upgrade to a new release version. In some cases, products migrations also require additional
steps. Complete the upgrade tasks where necessary to prepare for an upgrade, and complete
appropriate migration tasks after the upgrade to protect your data and customizations from
changes to the system.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details

Cloud Management • Upgrade from any version of Cloud Management version 2 (starting in
the Kingston release) is supported.
• Catalog items created from cloud-native templates in releases prior
to the Madrid release are treated as blueprint-based catalog items.
As a result, you cannot modify the underlying template. There is no
workaround.

Configuration For pre-existing duplicate CIs, the master CI is unknown. The discovery
Management data source is also unknown because the discovery_source attribute
Database (CMDB) was set to ‘Duplicate’. After the upgrade, the duplicate_of attribute for
those duplicate CIs is set to ‘Unknown’ and the discovery_source attribute
remains ‘Duplicate’.
After the upgrade, some pre-existing identification inclusion rules that are
configured for the duplicate metric, might conflict with newly created
health inclusion rules for the duplicate metric. After the upgrade, create
new corresponding health inclusion rules to replace any pre-existing
identification inclusion rules that you used exclusively with the CMDB Health
dashboards.

Dashboards Responsive dashboards enabled by default on upgrade to New York


Responsive dashboards are now enabled automatically upon upgrade
to New York. Responsive dashboards have a more intuitive interface and
are easier to share and edit than non-responsive dashboards. For more
information, see the following topics:
• Differences between homepages and responsive and non-responsive
dashboards
• Working with responsive dashboards

If your instance requires non-responsive dashboard functionality, you can


disable responsive dashboards.

Discovery During upgrade to the New York release, the April 2019 (1.0.39) release
of Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns is automatically installed for
Discovery customers.

Important: It may make the upgrade time longer depending


on your CMDB size. To decrease the upgrade time, install the
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns from ServiceNow Store
before upgrading to the New York release.

The process of upgrading from Madrid to New York deactivates all


Discovery schedules for cloud resources (VM). Schedules deactivated
during the upgrade appear in the list view of the Discovery Schedule
[discovery_schedule] table with a Run status of undefined. These schedules
cannot be used to discover cloud resources either when run immediately
or on the day and time configured. After upgrade, open your cloud
schedules in the Discovery Manager and re-activate them.

Event Management The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create
upgrade plans and test your upgrade on non-production instances before
upgrading your production instance.

Field Service When you upgrade your mobile application, you may have to migrate
Management customizations from earlier releases manually or using ServiceNow Studio.
The CMS portal plugin (com.snc.work_management.cms) is planned for
deprecation.

Flow Designer • During upgrade, a fix script converts the system


property com.snc.process_flow.reporting.enabled to
com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level. The former system property value
of false is converted to the new value of Off. The former system
property value true is converted to the new value Flows Actions
and Steps.
• Record-based flows created before the Madrid release continue to run
as the System user after upgrade. To change how upgraded flows run,
edit the flow properties. By default, new flows you create run as the user
who triggers the flow.
• Flows created before the Madrid release that use the Always trigger
option instead use the Only if not currently running trigger option after
upgrade. To change when upgraded flows run, edit the flow trigger
options.

ITOM Health The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create

(com.glideapp.knowledge2) is planned for deprecation. This plugin
contains Knowledge Management V2 features only. KCS features are not
being deprecated and are available in Knowledge Management V3 or
Service Portal.

MID Server The auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in New York has changed. The
MID Server no longer receives its upgrade through the instance, as it did
in previous releases. All MID Server host machines now require access to
the download site at install.service-now.com to enable auto-
upgrades. For additional details about how MID Server upgrades are
managed and where to look for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
In the New York release, only one Windows MID Server service is permitted
per executable path. Upgraded Windows MID Servers that have multiple
services pointing to the same installation folder are prevented from starting.
See MID Server fails to start for more information.
For more information about MID Server upgrades, see:
• MID Server pre-upgrade check: Describes how the AutoUpgrade
monitor tests the MID Server's ability to upgrade on your system before
the actual upgrade.
• Upgrade the MID Server manually: Describes how to upgrade your MID
Servers manually.

Application or feature Details

Mobile platform During the upgrade to the New York release, the instance is updated to use
the new mobile hierarchy, which includes new features such as application
launchers and a configurable navigation bar. Any unmodified base system
mobile applications that are installed on your instance are automatically
updated to work with the new design and can be used with Studio right
away. For more details on the mobile hierarchy, see ServiceNow mobile
app configuration.
Modified base system applications and applications that you have created
in Studio will continue to work after the upgrade, but they will not be
configurable in Studio until after you run the mobile migration script. For
additional details on the migration script, see Migration from Madrid to New
York mobile.

Operational Intelligence After you upgrade all the Operational Intelligence ServiceNow® MID
Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to New York, restart the MID
Servers in the cluster:
1. Stop all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster.
2. Wait for all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to be
stopped.
3. Start all the Operational Intelligence MID Servers, one MID Server at a
time.

Some data might be lost between the time that the MID Servers upgrade
starts and until the completion of the MID Servers restart after upgrade. If
you are using connectors, then you can minimize this data loss by disabling
the metric connectors before starting the upgrade. After the upgrade
completes:
1. Set the max_fetch_interval_min parameter to the time length that the
connectors were down.
2. Enable the connectors to pull the missing data.

Integration upgrade information


• Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Prior to London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, the Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
used an identifier from the Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse that was
not unique across multiple data warehouses. Starting with London
v6.2 and Kingston v5.1, the nexpose_id, which is globally consistent,
replaced it.
If you have an existing Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version earlier
than London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, and you upgrade to the latest
Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version, you may get a "Import relies
on nexpose_id" error. In that case, you need to update the SQL query
sent to your Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse with the nexpose_id.
Without it, various features of Vulnerability Response and Rapid7
Vulnerability Integration will not work properly. See KB0751331 to add the
nexpose_id to the SQL import query.

Note: This is true for a Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse


upgrade or to migrate from the Rapid7 Nexpose data
warehouse to Rapid7 InsightVM.
• Qualys Vulnerability Integration
To reduce upgrade time, if you have the Qualys product or a third-party
integration installed, delete all attachments on your integration data
sources. You can find the attachments by navigating to System Import
Sets > Administration > Data Sources and searching by integration. See
Manage attachments for more information.

List v3 is no longer available for new deployments. If you are already using List v3, you can
continue to do so. There are several aspects of list administration that are specific to List v3.

UI16
The UI16 interface provides an updated look and usability improvements.
Notable features include real-time form updates, user presence, a redesigned application
navigator with tabs for favorites and history, and enhanced activity streams. UI16 is the default
user interface for new instances. For upgraded instances, an administrator must activate UI16.

UI16 components

Component Description
Banner frame Runs across the top of every page and contains a
logo and the following information, controls, and
tools.
• User menu provides options to access your
profile and preferences. Administrators can
impersonate users and elevate their security
role.

Connect sidebar icon ( ): Lets you


begin or continue conversations. This icon is
available if Connect is enabled.

Global text search icon ( ): Finds records


from multiple tables.

Help icon ( ): Opens the help panel with


embedded help, where available. If there
is no embedded help, it offers help search
options.

Gear icon ( ): Opens the System settings


for the user interface (UI).

Application navigator Also called the left-navigation bar. Provides links


to all applications and modules. See Application
navigator.
Content frame Displays information such as lists, forms,
homepages, and wizards.
The Edge The Edge is removed in UI16. The collapsed view
of the UI16 application navigator is similar to the
Edge.

List v3 in New York

List v2 is the default version of lists and is supported in all versions of the UI. Even when List v3 is
activated, some UI16 lists may display in List v2. For details, see List v3 compatibility.
List v3 performance is different from performance in List v2. Based on your instance configuration
and the complexity of the query, List v3 may load records more slowly than List v2.
In List v2, the list editor does not enforce client scripts or UI policies. In List v3, the list editor enforces
UI policies and mandatory dictionary attributes, but not client scripts. Allowing list editing with
client scripts running on fields in a form can result in incorrect data being saved to the record. For
more information on list administration and using business rules and client scripts, see List editor
administration.

Visual differences between List v2 and List v3

If you are unsure whether a list is v2 or v3, look for the following identifiers.
• The personalize list gear icon appears in the upper left corner of v2 lists. The personalize list
option is located in the List title menus.
• Page controls appear in the list title bar of v2 lists.
• The list mode toggle appears in the list title bar of v3 lists. You can switch between the standard
list mode, called Grid mode, and a Split list and form mode.
• Avatars appear by user names in v3 lists.
• Page controls appear in a footer at the bottom of the page for v3 lists.
• The response time indicator does not appear on the bottom, right of v3 lists. You can create a
property to display the response time in milliseconds (ms) on the lower left in the List v3 footer.

menus in List v3. Administrators can customize list
field menu options by editing UI actions.
Detail rows Detail rows do not appear in List v3.
Composite fields Links do not display in composite fields, and the
different field values may appear on the same
line in List v3.
Limiting access to list column personalization Administrators cannot disable list column
personalization or control which user roles can
personalize list columns in List v3.
Administering certain list editor capabilities Administrators cannot configure which field types
are editable and cannot enable single-click list
editing for v3 lists. In List v3, the list editor enforces
UI policies and mandatory dictionary attributes.
Configuring when related lists load When List v3 is enabled for related lists, all related
lists load asynchronously after the form loads,
even if there are no v3 related lists on the form.
Creating default filters for related lists The Set as Default Filter button is not available in
the filter interface for v3 related lists.

Agent Intelligence These ML Solution Definition templates are deprecated in the New York
(Renamed to Predictive release and are replaced by a Classification Template:
Intelligence in New
York) • Assignment Template
• Category Template
• Priority Template

This new template prompts you to choose specific record fields that you
can use to build a classification solution.
If you upgrade to the New York release and you have existing solutions
that use one of these deprecated templates, you must update and retrain
the solutions to use the new Classification Template. For more information
on how to update these solutions in New York, see Create and train a
classification solution.

Agent Workspace For the New York release, you can use the Declarative Actions framework
to exclude New UI actions, instead of adding tables to the New Button List
Exclusions [sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table. A migration script runs when
you upgrade your instance, so any tables in the New Button List Exclusions
[sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table migrate to the new framework. If you want
to exclude additional tables, use the Action Assignment module.
If your instance partially upgrades from the Madrid release to the New York
release, your instance runs Agent Workspace on the Madrid release.

Antivirus Scanning Antivirus Scanning scans all the document types that are supported by the
Now Platform® in New York. Some attachments might be unavailable for
downloading if the security scan fails, or if the attachment is vulnerable.

Application Portfolio Application Portfolio Management integrates with Service Mapping


Management differently from what it was. The application Instances tab has been
removed and the application instances [apm_app_instance] table is no
longer used to store application instances data. The application instances
table is replaced with the Business Services [cmdb_ci_service] table
(if Service Mapping is not installed) or the Discovered Business Service
[cmdb_ci_discovered_service] table (if Service Mapping product is
installed). Any data in the application instances table for service mapping
integration must be migrated to the business service table. If you are
upgrading to the New York release, then contact ServiceNow personnel for
help with migrating the data.

Asset Management • In-flight transfer orders created to fulfill IT equipment requests are
upgraded to include the following fulfillment tasks: Ready for fulfillment,
Prepare for shipment, Ship, Receive, and Deliver. These in-flight transfer
orders are created as part of the HR Onboarding flow. Stages of the
fulfillment tasks that were completed before the transfer orders were
upgraded are closed. For example, if a transfer order line is in the
Shipment Preparation stage, then the Ready for fulfillment and Prepare
for shipment stages are closed because the tasks were completed
before the upgrade.

Note: Once you upgrade, you see that new open fulfillment
tasks appear in the transfer order. Close these tasks to move the
transfer order through the fulfillment process.

If you have the ITSM Software Asset Management feature


enabled using the existing Software Asset Management
(com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin on a release prior to New
York, you can continue to use the Software Asset Management plugin.
To migrate from the Software Asset Management
(com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin to the Software Asset
Management Foundation (com.snc.sams) plugin, consult your service
manager.

Warning: If you upgrade to Software Asset Management


Foundation plugin (com.snc.sams) from Software Asset
Management plugin (com.snc.software_asset_management),
you cannot revert back to Software Asset Management plugin
(com.snc.software_asset_management).

Authentication If you are upgrading an instance that uses the Multi-SSO plugin for SAML,
you should contact ServiceNow Customer Support for guidance before
you upgrade.

Automated Test Copy and customize ServiceNow platform-provided quick start tests
Framework to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration
changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.
The Run Server Side Script test step supports version 3.1 of the Jasmine
testing framework. You can upgrade individual test steps from Jasmine
version 1.3 to Jasmine version 3.1. See Run Server Side Script.
By default, the system property that is used to run automated tests is
disabled to prevent you from accidentally running these tests on a
production system. To avoid data corruption or an outage, run tests only
on development, test, and other non-production instances. See Enable or
disable executing Automated Test Framework tests.

Application or feature Details


Change management After you upgrade, you can:
• Use the new
com.snc.change_management.enforce_data_requirements property
that provides additional controls along with the existing UI policy
and client scripts. When true, it ensures that any updates made from
a change request form, such as Workflow, REST/SOAP, JavaScript,
or GlideRecord updates adhere to the same mandatory data
requirements. This property is installed with Change Management -
Core and is set to False by default for upgrade customers. Change the
property value to True to use this feature.
• Activate the Change Management - Approval Policy plugin so that you
can use the new change approval policies. Configuration details are
described in Change approval policies.

• Upgrade from any version of Cloud Management version 2 (starting in


the Kingston release) is supported.
• Catalog items created from cloud-native templates in releases prior
to the Madrid release are treated as blueprint-based catalog items.
As a result, you cannot modify the underlying template. There is no
workaround.

If you are upgrading, to the current release, from a release prior to


Jakarta with the cloud plugins (com.snc.azure, com.snc.aws, and
orchestration.vmware) activated on your instance and you decide to
activate the Cloud Management plugin (com.snc.cloud.mgmt), then
the cloud plugins activated prior to Jakarta may not work correctly.
Do not use the cloud plugins (com.snc.azure, com.snc.aws, and
orchestration.vmware) because they are deprecated. You must migrate all
configurations, discovery schedules, and catalog items to the post-Jakarta
Cloud Management plugin (com.snc.cloud.mgmt).

Configuration For pre-existing duplicate CIs, the master CI is unknown. The discovery
Management data source is also unknown because the discovery_source attribute
Database (CMDB) was set to ‘Duplicate’. After the upgrade, the duplicate_of attribute for
those duplicate CIs is set to ‘Unknown’ and the discovery_source attribute
remains ‘Duplicate’.
After the upgrade, some pre-existing identification inclusion rules that are
configured for the duplicate metric, might conflict with newly created
health inclusion rules for the duplicate metric. After the upgrade, create
new corresponding health inclusion rules to replace any pre-existing
identification inclusion rules that you used exclusively with the CMDB Health
dashboards.

Connect If you are currently using the legacy chat feature to provide help desk
support, close any open help desk chats before activating Connect
Support. Legacy chat and Connect Support cannot be used concurrently.
When you activate Connect Support, the system automatically sets the
state of all Chat Queue Entry [chat_queue_entry] records to Closed
Complete. This ends any open help desk chats.

Credentials Upgrading Connection information: The JDBC connection
[jdbc_connection] and JMS connection [orch_jms_ds] tables extend
from the Connection [sys_connection] table. They move from the
Orchestration run time plugin (com.snc.runbook_automation.runtime)
to the Centralized Connection and Credential plugin
(com.snc.core.automation.connection_credential). The upgrade process
obtains JDBC and JMS connection information and creates corresponding
connection aliases and assigns the alias to its corresponding connection.
Upgrading Credential tagging: The upgrade process migrates credential
tags to credential aliases. All credential tags in the Credentials table have
a corresponding credential alias, comprised of:
• Name: alias name
• Scope: global
• ID: alias name

The credential tag field type changes from string to GlideList in the
Credential table and the credential alias field refers to the created alias
records.

Customer Service Before you upgrade, read the information in KB0640006. Upgrading to
Management Kingston from any previous release also requires an upgrade to OpenFrame
version 1.0.2. Data migration: To use the new dashboards for existing case
records, you must perform a one-time data migration. The procedure
populates the new Case Report table. Perform the procedure during off-
hours. The process can take several hours, depending on data volume.

Note: The Case Report table includes three new calculated


metrics: Agent Reassignment Count, First Contact Resolution,
and Reopen Count, as described in Customer Service Manager
dashboard. To add the Case Report column to the Cases list,
navigate to Customer Service > Cases Customer ServiceCases
and add the Case Report field.

1. Navigate to System Definition > Schedule Job.


2. Open the CaseDataMigrationForCaseReports record and click Execute
Now.
3. When the process finishes, the instance generates a record in the
syslog table with the Message column populated with the text "Case
column migration completed".

Dashboards
Responsive dashboards enabled by default on upgrade to New York
Responsive dashboards are now enabled automatically upon upgrade
to New York. Responsive dashboards have a more intuitive interface and
are easier to share and edit than non-responsive dashboards. For more
information, see the following topics:
• Differences between homepages and responsive and non-responsive
dashboards
• Working with responsive dashboards

If your instance requires non-responsive dashboard functionality, you can


disable responsive dashboards.

Review Dashboards upgrade information for information about responsive


canvas and dashboard versions of homepages. Responsive dashboards
are enabled by default on new instances. On upgrading instances,
responsive canvas must be enabled by an administrator.

Edge Encryption Upon an upgrade, the newly installed proxy has the same folder
name as the previous proxy folder name, and the previous
proxy folder is renamed. For example, the previous proxy folder
is renamed from EdgeProxy_16001 to backup.dist-
upgrade_20181204-144650461, and the new proxy folder is named
EdgeProxy_16001.
• Java is no longer included in the Edge Encryption proxy server
distribution. The host machine installing or running the Edge Encryption
proxy server must maintain a supported version of Java:
• Java 8 update 121 (8u121)
• Java 8 update 141 (8u141) and later

Note: Java 8 update 131 (8u131) is not supported. Before


installing the Edge Encryption proxy server, check that the
$JAVA_HOME variable is pointing to a supported version of Java
for each user that runs the proxy server. For example, if installing
the proxy server as a local administrator on Windows, check
that the $JAVA_HOME variable is pointing to the correct version
of Java system-wide. If installing on Linux, check that each user
that will run the proxy server has this variable correctly defined.
If a supported version of Java is not found, the proxy server will
not run.
• If using AES 256-bit encryption, copy the Java Cryptography Extension
(JCE) jurisdiction policy files into the system Java home directory of
each Edge Encryption proxy server host. Add these files to the <Java-
home-directory>/jre/lib/security folder before performing
a scheduled or manual upgrade. To install the 256-bit encryption policy
files, see Optionally enable AES 256-bit encryption.
• When you upgrade from previous releases, you may encounter an
issue during Edge Encryption proxy server upgrades because the proxy
has not yet been upgraded to handle newly introduced request and
response codes. During the proxy upgrade, a message like the following
may appear in the proxy logs:

Error:
2018-05-25 09:48:44,758 WARN Unexpected
response code 555 from the ServiceNow instance
"10.11.87.4:16001". Will try again in 5 seconds.
2018-05-25 09:48:44,784 ERROR Update stats

response code 555 from the ServiceNow instance
"10.11.87.4:16001". Will try again in 5 seconds.

The solution is to restart the proxy and then retry the proxy upgrade.

Event Management The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release

Field Service When you upgrade your mobile application, you may have to migrate
Management customizations from earlier releases manually or using ServiceNow Studio.
The CMS portal plugin (com.snc.work_management.cms) is planned for
deprecation.
When you upgrade from a previous release, six event type schedule entries
are available by default. You can choose to activate these event type
configurations to create schedule entries. You must deactivate any existing
Events configuration that overlaps with the newly created schedule entries.
For more information on configuring event types, see Configure the agent
calendar.
You can optimize the agent task routes for the current date. However, if the
SMTaskRouting script was modified in an earlier release, the agent route is
optimized, but it does not take the agent schedule and agent time off into
consideration. For more information on optimizing task routes, see Route
optimization.

Financial Management The upgrade instructions do not apply to Project Portfolio Planning (Portfolio
Budget Model) as it is automatically upgraded as part of the New York
upgrade. Financial Management is no longer dependent on its use of IT
DataMart. The DataMart Definitions have been upgraded to Financial
Management Segments in Istanbul. New segments required for cost model
or budget model must henceforth be created in Financial Management
Segments.

Flow Designer • During upgrade, a fix script converts the system


property com.snc.process_flow.reporting.enabled to
com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level. The former system property value
of false is converted to the new value of Off. The former system
property value true is converted to the new value Flows Actions
and Steps.
• Record-based flows created before the Madrid release continue to run
as the System user after upgrade. To change how upgraded flows run,
edit the flow properties. By default, new flows you create run as the user
who triggers the flow.
• Flows created before the Madrid release that use the Always trigger
option instead use the Only if not currently running trigger option after
upgrade. To change when upgraded flows run, edit the flow trigger
options.

GRC: Policy and The GRC: UCF Import (com.snc.ucf_import_add_on) plugin was
Compliance deprecated and replaced by the new GRC: Compliance UCF
Management (com.sn_comp_ucf) plugin.

Note: If your GRC entitlement date is before December 1, 2016,


you are entitled to a free UCF CCH account for the period of
December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2018. For customers on
Helsinki (Patch 7 and above), or Istanbul and whose effective GRC
entitlement date start on Dec 1, 2016 or after, you need to sign up
for a UCF CCH account and customize your basic subscription to
include API Access. For more information about establishing a UCF

setup is introduced in this release. The ITSM Guided Setup plugin
(com.snc.guided_setup_metadata.itsm) is active by default for new
customers. Upgrading customers can activate the plugin to view the new
version of guided setup.
One or both versions appear as modules in the navigation pane or as links
on the System Administration homepage. They appear as ITSM Guided
Setup or ITSM Guided Setup (Old). ITSM Guided Setup (Old) takes you
to the guided setup created in the Helsinki and Istanbul releases. The
administrator can hide the version that you do not want to use.

Note: The plugin name, ITSM Guided Setup, is the same for both
old and new versions, but the plugin ID is different.

Guided Tour Designer The Guided Tour Designer was first introduced in the Jakarta release with
support for guided tours on the standard platform UI. For new instances
created in Jakarta and beyond, guided tours are active by default. For
instances originating from pre-Jakarta, guided tours are inactive by default.
See Enable guided tours to enable the feature on your instance.
With the New York release, you can also enable guided tours to run on
Service Portal pages. When you upgrade your instance to New York, the
following results occur.
• For instances that are new in New York, the Guided Tours for Service
Portal feature is active by default.
• For pre-New York instances that you upgrade to New York, the Guided
Tours for Service Portal feature is inactive by default.
• To run guided tours on Service Portal pages, ensure the
com.glide.guided_tours.enable and glide.sp.guided_tours.enable

Some of the key differences between Legacy Knowledge and Knowledge
v3 are:
• Multiple knowledge bases (instead of one knowledge base)
• Separate customizable workflows available for each knowledge base
(instead of a single lifecycle shared by all articles)
• Category structure that supports any number of levels (instead of a two-
level organizational structure using Topic and Category)
• Permissions defined per knowledge base and article, using user criteria
(instead of per article, using roles and ACLs)

For additional upgrade considerations, see the links under Migrate.

MetricBase Legacy triggers are available only to upgraded instances. New activations
of the MetricBase application do not include legacy triggers.

Application or feature Details


MID Server The auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in New York has changed. The
MID Server no longer receives its upgrade through the instance, as it did
in previous releases. All MID Server host machines now require access to
the download site at install.service-now.com to enable auto-
upgrades. For additional details about how MID Server upgrades are
managed and where to look for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
In the New York release, only one Windows MID Server service is permitted
per executable path. Upgraded Windows MID Servers that have multiple
services pointing to the same installation folder are prevented from starting.
See MID Server fails to start for more information.
If an unsupported version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is running
on a MID Server when the MID Server is upgraded, the upgrade process
replaces that JRE with the OpenJDK that is bundled with the MID Server
installer. If a supported JRE is running on the MID Server host, the upgraded
MID Server uses that Java version.
MID Server hosts for instances upgraded from London do not require
connection to the download site at install.service-now.com. The
auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in Madrid is handled through the
instance. However, upgrades from Kingston or earlier require that each
MID Server host machine have access to the download site. For additional
details about how MID Server upgrades are managed and where to look
for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
For additional information about MID Server upgrades, see:
• MID Server pre-upgrade check: Describes how the AutoUpgrade
monitor tests the MID Server's ability to upgrade on your system before
the actual upgrade.
• Upgrade the MID Server manually: Describes how to upgrade your MID
Servers manually.

• There is a new process for accessing the install.service-


now.com download site for MID Server upgrades. New ServiceNow®
instances handle all traffic from the download site, which
eliminates the need for MID Server host machines to connect with
install.service-now.com. However, instances upgraded to the
London release require their MID Servers to send their initial upgrade
requests through install.service-now.com. After the first
upgrade, MID Servers can send subsequent auto-upgrade requests
directly to the instance, when the mid.download.through.instance
system property is set to true. For details, see MID Server upgrades.
• The change to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installation
procedure for new MID Servers does not affect upgrades of existing MID
Servers. These MID Servers receive the supported JRE version when they
upgrade.
• For additional information about MID Server upgrades, see:
• MID Server pre-upgrade check: Describes how the AutoUpgrade
monitor tests the MID Server's ability to upgrade on your system
before the actual upgrade.
• Upgrade the MID Server manually: Describes how to upgrade your
MID Servers manually.

mobile applications that are installed on your instance are automatically
updated to work with the new design and can be used with Studio right
away. For more details on the mobile hierarchy, see ServiceNow mobile
app configuration.
Modified base system applications and applications that you have created
in Studio will continue to work after the upgrade, but they will not be
configurable in Studio until after you run the mobile migration script. For
additional details on the migration script, see Migration from Madrid to New
York mobile.

Notifications This release introduces a new Email Client Configuration feature and a
Connection Security option on the Email Account form for choosing the
secure connection for your email server. These features are enabled in new
and upgraded instances. When you upgrade to this release, the following
items are migrated if you previously set them in your instance:
• The secure connection mode that you selected for your email server in
the Email Account form (Enable TLS and Enable SSL fields).
• The email client property settings for controlling:
• Email address autocomplete
(glide.ui.email_client.autocomplete.group)
• From and Reply To email addresses displayed in the email client
(glide.ui.email_client.from and glide.ui.email_client.reply_to)
• Email address recipient qualifiers
(glide.ui.email_client.email_adresss.disambiguator and
glide.ui.email_client.email_address.disambiguator_search)

The email client property settings are preserved in a default


email client configuration created during upgrade. You can view
the default configuration in the new Email Client Configuration
[sys_email_client_configuration] table.
These email client properties are also deprecated in this release
because these features can be set using email client configurations.

If you want to enable randomized watermarks in email notifications


for upgraded instances, activate the Random Watermark Support
plugin (com.glide.email.random_watermark). This plugin includes
system properties for managing a watermark transition period, during
which the system recognizes both randomized watermarks and non-
randomized watermarks in emails created before upgrading. For details,
see Notifications upgrade information.

Application or feature Details


Notify The legacy Notify-Twilio driver (com.snc.notify.twilio) plugin is now being
replaced by a Notify-Twilio Direct driver (com.snc.notify.twilio_direct). A
Migrate Now button for one-click migration from the legacy driver to the
new Notify-Twilio Direct driver is provided.
The Notify core plugin now provides JS Telephony Driver support that
enables you to code your own integrations in JavaScript by using the
platform capability of JS Extension Point.
In prior releases, the Notify-Twilio Driver (com.snc.notify.twilio) enabled
voice and SMS services provided by Twilio. This driver has been replaced
by the Notify-Twilio Direct Driver (com.snc.notify.twilio_direct). Both the
drivers work simultaneously provided they are configured with two separate
accounts.
The migration to the new driver has the following impact.
1. Notify participant records will remain inactive until a participant joins a
conference. Previously, they were set to active by default.
2. If you are using the previous driver, the participant record is activated
after a minor delay.

Note: New customers will have access only to the new Notify-Twilio
Direct driver plugin.

If the Legacy Notify plugin (com.snc.notifynow) is activated on the


instance:
• The Legacy Notify plugin and the Notify plugin (com.snc.notify) can
coexist and work independently because they use different tables,
properties, and API namespaces. You must also use two different Twilio
accounts for both plugins to work.
• The Legacy Notify plugin and the Notify plugin (com.snc.notify) can
be simultaneously instantiated on the same instance. However, the
applications must be configured with different Twilio accounts or sub-
accounts.
• Notify account setup can be configured for a single number within an
account (Legacy Notify) or for multiple numbers (Notify).
• Conference call flow is hard-coded in Legacy Notify. Notify uses a
workflow-driven conference call approach.
• Legacy Notify and Notify use independent properties and schemas.
• Legacy Notify modules are moved to the Notify menu in the application
navigator.
• Notify includes the notifynow_admin user role.
• Updates the Category field for all workflow activity to display Legacy
Notify rather thanNotifyNow.

If the Incident Alert Management plugin (com.snc.iam) is activated on the


instance:
• And Notify is activated for the first time, the appropriate scripts are
installed for Notify integration.
• And Legacy Notify has been previously configured with Incident
Alert Management and the Notify plugin is activated, Incident Alert
Management continues to use Legacy Notify properties.
• To switch to the Notify plugin, configure the Twilio account and upgrade
the Incident Alert Management plugin.

If the On-Call Scheduling plugin (com.snc.on_call_rotation) is activated on


the instance, the appropriate files related to On-Call Scheduling and Notify
are installed.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details


On-Call Scheduling Upgrading from previous versions is automatic, and all events are recorded
in the upgrade logs (System Diagnostics > Upgrade History).
• The existing On-Call plugin has been changed. When you upgrade, the
plugin changes are applied automatically (this action is not optional).
• The group device functionality is deprecated in favor of a Catch All
person.
• On-call Scheduling replaces the existing business rules for escalations
with escalations based on Graphical Workflow.
• The workflow uses Notification Activities, so it sends emails and not SMS
messages. It must be modified to use Create Events activities to send
SMS messages.

Operational Intelligence After you upgrade all the Operational Intelligence ServiceNow® MID
Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to New York, restart the MID
Servers in the cluster:
1. Stop all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster.
2. Wait for all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to be
stopped.
3. Start all the Operational Intelligence MID Servers, one MID Server at a
time.

Some data might be lost between the time that the MID Servers upgrade
starts and until the completion of the MID Servers restart after upgrade. If
you are using connectors, then you can minimize this data loss by disabling
the metric connectors before starting the upgrade. After the upgrade
completes:
1. Set the max_fetch_interval_min parameter to the time length that the
connectors were down.
2. Enable the connectors to pull the missing data.

After upgrading to New York, the default Event Management binding


workflow which binds nodes to host CIs, is disabled for metric events. If you
relied on this binding before the upgrade, then to allow host binding for
metric events after upgrade, explicitly create a host binding event rule as
described in Create an event rule to bind metric events to host CIs.

Project Portfolio • Ideas:
Management
Convert an idea directly to a story, epic, or project instead of just
creating a demand. Upon upgrade, the Create Task button enables
you to directly create a task from the idea or you can just click Accept.
After the upgrade, migrate from the legacy Ideas feature to the new
Idea portal. For more information, see Migrate from legacy Ideas to the
new Idea Portal .
• Project Management:
If you are upgrading to New York, your existing projects are migrated as
follows:
• Your existing Hybrid, Agile, or custom projects remain unchanged.
• If there are only stories associated with the project, then existing
projects with the Null or Waterfall execution type are migrated to the
Agile execution type.
• If there are only tasks associated with the project, then existing
projects with the Null execution type are migrated to the Waterfall
execution type.
• If there are tasks and stories associated with the project, then existing
projects with the Null or Waterfall execution type are migrated to the
Hybrid execution type.
After the migration of existing projects upon upgrade, the related
lists and links on the Project form and widgets in the Analytics tab of
the Planning Console also change based on the updated project
execution type.

Two new dashboards have been added with the new Performance
Analytics – Content Pack – Project Portfolio Suite with Financials
(com.snc.pa.pmo_dashboards) plugin. If you are upgrading and you
activate the new plugin, two new navigation links are available in PPM:
• Portfolio dashboard
• Program dashboard

The following pre-New York navigation links are still available after
upgrading. Review the existing and the new dashboards and deactivate
the older ones if required.
• Portfolio manager dashboard
• Program manager dashboard
• PMO dashboard

• Planning Console: If you are upgrading, the Client side planning


console functionality for project scheduling is disabled. To enable the
functionality, you must:
1. Set the project property Enable firing of Business Rules on save from
Planning Console to false, if it was set to true before upgrade.
2. Set the Enable Client Side Planning check box to true.

Note:

• Resource Management: Changes made to allocated hours now


ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details


Project Portfolio Suite • After you upgrade the instance, the default value of the Retain start on
with Financials constraint on tasks after adding relations property is now set to true and
cannot be changed back to false. As a result, the upgraded instances
that had the property set to false can experience a change in behavior
of time constraint when a relation is added to a task. After relations are
added to a task, the start date of the task is not affected.
• A default flow formatter has been enabled in the Project form in the
Kingston release. If you have configured flow formatter before upgrade
to Kingston, you need to revisit the configuration. You can disable
the stages either from the existing custom formatter or from the newly
added formatter as needed.

Reporting Report Charting v2 is automatically used, and Reporting v1 can no longer


be used after an instance is upgraded.
The Report Charting v2 plugin uses the Highcharts charting library to
generate reports on the client. This plugin generates all the reports in the
ServiceNow report set.

Note: Scheduled reports, custom charts, and reports saved as PDF


are generated on the server using the Highcharts charting library.
As a result, these types of reports sometimes appear differently
than reports generated on the client side.

Schedules Domain separation functionality is introduced for schedules.


Security Incident Application administration Application administration Application
Response administration is enabled for Security Incident Response by default. If you
are upgrading from a version earlier than Jakarta, verify whether you have
added custom tables to Security Incident Response. If so, and your custom
tables rely on global ACLs, you may need to recreate those global ACLs
in the Security Incident Response scope after the upgrade. If you added
custom roles or custom ACLs, retest them after the upgrade and ensure
the assignable by attribute on the roles is set correctly to allow access to
application administration.
After you upgrade, but prior to configuring the Splunk - Incident
Enrichment integration or any other integrations that support sighting
search (for example, Elasticsearch, HPE ArcSight, McAfee ESM, and IBM
QRadar), please contact ServiceNow support to manually activate the
com.snc.core.automation.api plugin. The configuration will not function
properly if this action is not taken.
If you are upgrading directly from Jakarta or Kingston to this release
(skipping the London release), navigate to System Definition > Fix Scripts,
and run the Update integrations to multi domain fix script to allow certain
integrations to have multiple configurations defined. For example, if you
have multiple Splunk instances, you can create connections and queries
that run sighting searches across multiple Splunk instances. After the fix
script has run, return to System Definition > Fix Scripts and deactivate the
fix script. It is important that the script is not allowed to run more than one
time.

Service Catalog Before upgrading, you should be aware of changes that were made to the
underlying Service Catalog data model. These changes affect the way
that you implement multiple service catalogs. For details, see Upgrade to
multiple service catalogs. If you are upgrading from a version prior to the
Fuji release, see Migrate cart layouts.

Application or feature Details


Service Level After you upgrade, you can activate the Service Portfolio Management
Management SLA Commitments plugin (com.snc.service_portfolio.sla_commitment) to
use the Service Commitment flag in the SLA Definition record. With this flag,
you can differentiate between an SLA definition tied to a Service Offering
commitment and an SLA definition that is not tied to a Service Offering
commitment.

Service Mapping After you upgrade from a previous release, complete the following tasks:
• Make sure that discovery errors are categorized by rediscovering CIs
that were discovered before the upgrade with errors. For details, see .
• Make sure that discovery errors hidden before the upgrade do not
reappear in business maps. To resolve these errors, rediscover all CIs
using the All Applications schedule.

from a previous release, enable search facets by activating a record in
the Page Route Maps [sp_page_route_map] table. See Enable search
facets.
• Validate user input in a specific field type using a validation script.
In new instances, Service Portal includes XML, Script, Script (Plain),
Email, and Version validation scripts by default. If upgrading from a
previous release, the Mobile and Service Portal version is not active by
default. You must activate the Mobile and Service Portal version of the
validation script to validate user input in the Service Portal. See Activate
Service Portal validation scripts.
• In new instances, guided tours in Service Portal are enabled by
default. If upgrading from a previous release, you must enable the
com.snc.guided_tours.sp.enable system property to create a guided
tour in Service Portal. See Activate guided tours for Service Portal.
• Announcements are active on new instances. To activate
announcements after upgrade, activate the Service Portal
Announcements plugin (com.glide.service-portal.announcements).
• The Font Awesome library has been upgraded to version 4.7 and
includes new icon names and syntax changes. If your Service Portal
implementation includes custom use of the Font Awesome library, you
may need to update icon names in your custom widgets. For more
information, see the Font Awesome GitHub upgrade guide.

Service Portfolio If you are an existing Service Portfolio Management user on a release prior
Management to New York, you are using the legacy application. Upgrading to New York
retains your Service Portfolio Management legacy data, while adding new
features and functionality.

Virtual Agent • Migrating Virtual Agent topics: Conversation topics created in the
Madrid release are fully supported in this release and do not change
during upgrade. After upgrade, you can continue to develop and use
keyword-based topics as in previous releases.
Or, you can enable new features, such as applying a Natural Language
Understanding (NLU) model to your Virtual Agent conversations. NLU
models provide your virtual agent with the information it needs to
understand and process user statements in a conversation. The CSM, HR
Service Delivery, and ITSM applications provide prebuilt ServiceNow NLU
models, along with predefined conversation topics. To learn more, see
Get Started with NLU in Virtual Agent.
• Defining a Service Portal Agent Chat Configuration: After upgrading, if
you define a Service Portal Agent Chat configuration, you must remove
any previously installed Virtual Agent Service Portal widgets from portal
pages.
The Service Portal Agent Chat configuration enables users to run Virtual
Agent and Live Agent on all pages of selected service portals. This
means you no longer need to retain the legacy Virtual Agent Service
Portal widget on individual portal pages.
For details, see Migrate from the Virtual Agent Service Portal widget.

• Migrating Virtual Agent topics: Conversation topics created in the


London release are fully supported in this release and are not changed
during upgrade. After upgrade, you can update your topics, for
example, to use new features such as the no-code controls available in
Virtual Agent Designer.
• Using Slack Enterprise Grid after upgrading:
• If you have Slack Enterprise Grid workspaces, your end users can
move between those workspaces and use the Virtual Agent bot
from any workspace.
• Your end users must relink their ServiceNow accounts to the Virtual
Agent messaging integration for Slack.
• If you upgrade to Slack Enterprise Grid after upgrading to this
release, an upgrade script runs automatically to complete the
upgrade for the Slack messaging integration.

Vulnerability Response If you are upgrading from a previous version of Vulnerability Response, you
can begin using the Vulnerability Response new features immediately. All
updates to Vulnerability Response are only available in the ServiceNow®
Store.
If you've previously installed Vulnerability Response, you don't need to
install the Dependencies (com.snc.vul_dep) plugin prior to installing the
Vulnerability Response update.
For detailed information on upgrade from Kingston or London to
Vulnerability Response, see Vulnerability Response upgrade information.
Application administration is not enabled, by default, in Vulnerability
Response for upgrades. If you add custom tables that rely on inherited
ACLs, you must recreate the ACLs in that custom table. If you add custom
roles or custom ACLs, and you enable Application administration, retest
those roles and ACLs after upgrading. Ensure that the assignable by
attribute on the roles is set correctly to enable access to application
administration.

Note:
Once enabled, Application administration cannot be disabled.

Integration upgrade information


• Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Prior to London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, the Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
used an identifier from the Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse that was
not unique across multiple data warehouses. Starting with London
v6.2 and Kingston v5.1, the nexpose_id, which is globally consistent,
replaced it.
If you have an existing Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version earlier
than London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, and you upgrade to the latest
Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version, you may get a "Import relies
on nexpose_id" error. In that case, you need to update the SQL query
sent to your Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse with the nexpose_id.
Without it, various features of Vulnerability Response and Rapid7
Vulnerability Integration will not work properly. See KB0751331 to add the
nexpose_id to the SQL import query.

Note: This is true for a Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse


upgrade or to migrate from the Rapid7 Nexpose data
warehouse to Rapid7 InsightVM.
• Qualys Vulnerability Integration
To reduce upgrade time, if you have the Qualys product or a third-party
integration installed, delete all attachments on your integration data
sources. You can find the attachments by navigating to System Import
Sets > Administration > Data Sources and searching by integration. See
Manage attachments for more information.

Walk-up Experience Before upgrading, be aware that the following feature changes can affect
your customizations:
• Your online check-in, as well as the onsite queue and onsite check-in
interfaces are updated to reflect the new data model and features.
• Reports using Queue for grouping should use Location due to a change
in the Interaction [interaction] table. Filtering is done based on Channel
instead of Type.
• Notifications may no longer trigger due to State changes in interactions,
such as the On Hold state. Reevaluate your custom notification
conditions.
• Business rules and other logic running on fields that are deprecated, for
example, Queue on the Interactions form.

in Windows 7.
• In Jakarta and later, Internet Explorer versions prior to IE11 are no longer supported.
• Compatibility mode is not supported.

Browser requirements

Application or feature Details

API Context menu options can be accessed only if the browser supports
SharedWorker. For example, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Agent Workspace If you are using the Firefox browser version 65, there is an issue affecting
accessibility in Agent Workspace when tabbing between elements. There
are no tabbing issues if you use Firefox browser version 66 or later.

Automated Test Automated Test Framework only supports running tests from desktop

the mobile UI. Some desktop browsers require additional configuration. See
Browser recommendations for Automated Test Framework.
Automated Test Framework offers limited support for test design on tablets.

isn't supported in Internet Explorer.

Predictive Intelligence For optimal performance on the ServiceNow platform, use Predictive
Intelligence in the latest release of Chrome.

Service Owner Internet Explorer browser versions prior to IE11 are not supported. Use the
Workspace latest available versions of the Chrome browser, Firefox browser, or Safari
browser to access Service Owner Workspace.

Virtual Agent Use Virtual Agent Designer on modern browsers such as Chrome or Edge.
Virtual Agent Designer is not supported on Safari and older versions of
Internet Explorer (such as IE11) browsers.

New York user interface


List v3 is no longer available for new deployments. If you are already using List v3, you can
continue to do so. There are several aspects of list administration that are specific to List v3.

UI16
The UI16 interface provides an updated look and usability improvements.
Notable features include real-time form updates, user presence, a redesigned application
navigator with tabs for favorites and history, and enhanced activity streams. UI16 is the default

UI16 components

Component Description
Banner frame Runs across the top of every page and contains a
logo and the following information, controls, and
tools.
• User menu provides options to access your
profile and preferences. Administrators can
impersonate users and elevate their security
role.

Connect sidebar icon ( ): Lets you


begin or continue conversations. This icon is
available if Connect is enabled.

Global text search icon ( ): Finds records


from multiple tables.

Help icon ( ): Opens the help panel with


embedded help, where available. If there
is no embedded help, it offers help search
options.

Gear icon ( ): Opens the System settings


for the user interface (UI).

Application navigator Also called the left-navigation bar. Provides links


to all applications and modules. See Application
navigator.
Content frame Displays information such as lists, forms,
homepages, and wizards.
The Edge The Edge is removed in UI16. The collapsed view
of the UI16 application navigator is similar to the
Edge.

List v3 in New York

List v2 is the default version of lists and is supported in all versions of the UI. Even when List v3 is
activated, some UI16 lists may display in List v2. For details, see List v3 compatibility.
List v3 performance is different from performance in List v2. Based on your instance configuration
and the complexity of the query, List v3 may load records more slowly than List v2.
In List v2, the list editor does not enforce client scripts or UI policies. In List v3, the list editor enforces
UI policies and mandatory dictionary attributes, but not client scripts. Allowing list editing with
client scripts running on fields in a form can result in incorrect data being saved to the record. For
more information on list administration and using business rules and client scripts, see List editor
administration.

Visual differences between List v2 and List v3

If you are unsure whether a list is v2 or v3, look for the following identifiers.
• The personalize list gear icon appears in the upper left corner of v2 lists. The personalize list
option is located in the List title menus.
• Page controls appear in the list title bar of v2 lists.
• The list mode toggle appears in the list title bar of v3 lists. You can switch between the standard
list mode, called Grid mode, and a Split list and form mode.
• Avatars appear by user names in v3 lists.
• Page controls appear in a footer at the bottom of the page for v3 lists.
• The response time indicator does not appear on the bottom, right of v3 lists. You can create a
property to display the response time in milliseconds (ms) on the lower left in the List v3 footer.

Features that are not supported in List v3

Feature Details
Hierarchical lists Tables that have hierarchical lists enabled display

Embedded lists Embedded lists display in List v2.
Create a list report in the Report Designer List reports display in List v2.
Customizing list title or list column heading menus Options added to list context menus using the
Context Menu [sys_ui_context_menu] table do
not appear in List v3. Because it is only possible
to customize the list title menu or list column
heading menu by editing records on the Context
Menu table, it is not possible to customize these
menus in List v3. Administrators can customize list
field menu options by editing UI actions.
Detail rows Detail rows do not appear in List v3.
Composite fields Links do not display in composite fields, and the
different field values may appear on the same
line in List v3.
Limiting access to list column personalization Administrators cannot disable list column
personalization or control which user roles can
personalize list columns in List v3.
Administering certain list editor capabilities Administrators cannot configure which field types
are editable and cannot enable single-click list
editing for v3 lists. In List v3, the list editor enforces
UI policies and mandatory dictionary attributes.
Configuring when related lists load When List v3 is enabled for related lists, all related
lists load asynchronously after the form loads,
even if there are no v3 related lists on the form.
Creating default filters for related lists The Set as Default Filter button is not available in
the filter interface for v3 related lists.

Application or feature Details


Agent Intelligence These ML Solution Definition templates are deprecated in the New York
(Renamed to Predictive release and are replaced by a Classification Template:
Intelligence in New
• Assignment Template
York)
• Category Template
• Priority Template

This new template prompts you to choose specific record fields that you
can use to build a classification solution. If you upgrade to the New York
release and you have existing solutions that use one of these deprecated
templates, you must update and retrain the solutions to use the new
Classification Template. For more information on how to update these
solutions in New York, see Create and train a classification solution.
Agent Workspace For the New York release, you can use the Declarative Actions framework
to exclude New UI actions, instead of adding tables to the New Button List
Exclusions [sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table. A migration script runs when
you upgrade your instance, so any tables in the New Button List Exclusions
[sys_aw_crud_exclusions] table migrate to the new framework. If you want
to exclude additional tables, use the Action Assignment module.
If your instance partially upgrades from the Madrid release to the New York
release, your instance runs Agent Workspace on the Madrid release.

Antivirus Scanning Antivirus Scanning scans all the document types that are supported by the
Now Platform® in New York. Some attachments might be unavailable for
downloading if the security scan fails, or if the attachment is vulnerable.

Asset Management • In-flight transfer orders created to fulfill IT equipment requests are
upgraded to include the following fulfillment tasks: Ready for fulfillment,
Prepare for shipment, Ship, Receive, and Deliver. These in-flight transfer
orders are created as part of the HR Onboarding flow. Stages of the
fulfillment tasks that were completed before the transfer orders were
upgraded are closed. For example, if a transfer order line is in the
Shipment Preparation stage, then the Ready for fulfillment and Prepare
for shipment stages are closed because the tasks were completed
before the upgrade.

Note: Once you upgrade, you see that new open fulfillment
tasks appear in the transfer order. Close these tasks to move the
transfer order through the fulfillment process.

Warning: If you upgrade to Software Asset Management


Foundation plugin (com.snc.sams) from Software Asset
Management plugin (com.snc.software_asset_management),
you cannot revert back to Software Asset Management plugin
(com.snc.software_asset_management).

Authentication If you are upgrading an instance that uses the Multi-SSO plugin for SAML,
you should contact ServiceNow Customer Support for guidance before
you upgrade.

Application or feature Details


Automated Test
Framework Note: By default, the system property that is used to run
automated tests is disabled to prevent you from accidentally
running these tests on a production system. To avoid data
corruption or an outage, run tests only on development, test, and
other non-production instances. See Enable or disable executing
Automated Test Framework tests

Copy and customize ServiceNow platform-provided quick start tests


to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration
changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.
The tests can only produce a pass result when you run them with the
default demo data that's provided with the application or feature plugin.
To apply a quick start test to your instance-specific data, copy the quick
start test and add your custom data. See Available quick start tests by
application or feature.
The Run Server Side Script test step supports version 3.1 of the Jasmine
testing framework. You can upgrade individual test steps from Jasmine
version 1.3 to Jasmine version 3.1. See Run Server Side Script.

Change management After you upgrade, you can:


• Use the new
com.snc.change_management.enforce_data_requirements property
that provides additional controls along with the existing UI policy
and client scripts. When true, it ensures that any updates made from
a change request form, such as Workflow, REST/SOAP, JavaScript,
or GlideRecord updates adhere to the same mandatory data
requirements. This property is installed with Change Management -
Core and is set to False by default for upgrade customers. Change the
property value to True to use this feature.
• Activate the Change Management - Approval Policy plugin so that you
can use the new change approval policies. Configuration details are
described in Change approval policies.

Cloud Management • Upgrade from any version of Cloud Management version 2 (starting in
the Kingston release) is supported.
• Catalog items created from cloud-native templates in releases prior
to the Madrid release are treated as blueprint-based catalog items.
As a result, you cannot modify the underlying template. There is no
workaround.

• If you are on Jakarta and above, an upgrade from any version of Cloud
Management platform version 2 (CMPv2) is supported.
• Catalog items created based on cloud-native templates in releases
prior to Madrid on CMPv2, will be treated as blueprint-based catalog
items, which means that the underlying template cannot be modified.

If you are upgrading to the current release, from a release prior to


Jakarta with the cloud plugins (com.snc.azure, com.snc.aws, and
orchestration.vmware) activated on your instance and you decide to
activate the Cloud Management plugin (com.snc.cloud.mgmt), then
the cloud plugins activated prior to Jakarta may not work correctly.
Do not use the cloud plugins (com.snc.azure, com.snc.aws, and
orchestration.vmware) because they are deprecated. You must migrate all
configurations, discovery schedules, and catalog items to the post-Jakarta
Cloud Management plugin (com.snc.cloud.mgmt).

Configuration If you are upgrading Configuration Compliance to London Now
Compliance platform, Patch 5 there is nothing to do to continuing using Configuration
Compliance. Going forward, all updates to London Configuration
Compliance are only available in the ServiceNow Store.
If you are upgrading Configuration Compliance there is nothing to do to
continuing using Configuration Compliance. Going forward, all updates to
Configuration Compliance are only available in the ServiceNow Store.

Configuration For pre-existing duplicate CIs, the master CI is unknown. The discovery
Management data source is also unknown because the discovery_source attribute
Database (CMDB) was set to ‘Duplicate’. After the upgrade, the duplicate_of attribute for
those duplicate CIs is set to ‘Unknown’ and the discovery_source attribute
remains ‘Duplicate’.
After the upgrade, some pre-existing identification inclusion rules that are
configured for the duplicate metric, might conflict with newly created
health inclusion rules for the duplicate metric. After the upgrade, create
new corresponding health inclusion rules to replace any pre-existing
identification inclusion rules that you used exclusively with the CMDB Health
dashboards.
Upgraded instances include the new cmdb_read role. However, the system
does not enforce the requirement to use cmdb_read when an application
reads data from the cmdb_ci table hierarchy. For information about
enforcing the usage of cmdb_read after an upgrade and other related
issues, see the New role to read data from CMDB [KB0694559] article in the
HI Knowledge Base.
The CMDB Workspace plugin (com.cmdb-workspace) is not activated in
an upgraded instance. Activate CMDB Workspace to get the functionality
of CMDB Agent Workspace.

Customer Service Create field-level ACL rules for some of the fields on the Contact
Management (customer_contact) table. For details, see KB0724239.
Dashboards
Responsive dashboards enabled by default on upgrade to New York
Responsive dashboards are now enabled automatically upon upgrade
to New York. Responsive dashboards have a more intuitive interface and
are easier to share and edit than non-responsive dashboards. For more
information, see the following topics:
• Differences between homepages and responsive and non-responsive
dashboards
• Working with responsive dashboards

If your instance requires non-responsive dashboard functionality, you can


disable responsive dashboards.

Responsive dashboards are enabled by default on new instances.


On upgrading instances, responsive canvas must be enabled by an
administrator.

Edge Encryption When you upgrade from previous releases, you may encounter an issue
during Edge Encryption proxy server upgrades because the proxy has not
yet been upgraded to handle newly introduced request and response
codes.
During the proxy upgrade, a message like the following may appear in the
proxy logs:

Error:
2018-05-25 09:48:44,758 WARN Unexpected
response code 555 from the ServiceNow instance
"10.11.87.4:16001". Will try again in 5 seconds.
2018-05-25 09:48:44,784 ERROR Update stats received
error code : 555 : ServiceNow instance is currently
being upgraded
2018-05-25 09:48:49,862 WARN Unexpected
response code 555 from the ServiceNow instance
"10.11.87.4:16001". Will try again in 5 seconds.

The solution is to restart the proxy and then retry the proxy upgrade.
Upon an upgrade, the newly installed proxy has the same folder
name as the previous proxy folder name, and the previous
proxy folder is renamed. For example, the previous proxy folder
is renamed from EdgeProxy_16001 to backup.dist-
upgrade_20181204-144650461, and the new proxy folder is named
EdgeProxy_16001.
Event Management The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create
upgrade plans and test your upgrade on non-production instances before
upgrading your production instance.

Field Service When you upgrade your mobile application, you may have to migrate
Management customizations from earlier releases manually or using ServiceNow Studio.
The CMS portal plugin (com.snc.work_management.cms) is planned for
deprecation.
When you upgrade from a previous release, six event type schedule entries
are available by default. You can choose to activate these event type
configurations to create schedule entries. You must deactivate any existing
Events configuration that overlaps with the newly created schedule entries.
For more information on configuring event types, see Configure the agent
calendar.
You can optimize the agent task routes for the current date. However, if the
SMTaskRouting script was modified in an earlier release, the agent route is
optimized, but it does not take the agent schedule and agent time off into
consideration. For more information on optimizing task routes, see Route
optimization.

Flow Designer • During upgrade, a fix script converts the system
property com.snc.process_flow.reporting.enabled to
com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level. The former system property value
of false is converted to the new value of Off. The former system
property value true is converted to the new value Flows Actions
and Steps.
• Record-based flows created before the Madrid release continue to run
as the System user after upgrade. To change how upgraded flows run,
edit the flow properties. By default, new flows you create run as the user
who triggers the flow.
• Flows created before the Madrid release that use the Always trigger
option instead use the Only if not currently running trigger option after
upgrade. To change when upgraded flows run, edit the flow trigger
options.

• Record-based flows created before the Madrid release continue to run


as the System user after upgrade. To change how upgraded flows run,
edit the flow properties. By default, new flows you create run as the user
who triggers the flow.
• Flows using the Always option for Created or Updated or Updated
trigger types in previous releases use the Only if not currently running
option. Use the For each unique change option to trigger a flow for
every unique change, even if the flow is running.

Guided Tour Designer The Guided Tour Designer was first introduced in the Jakarta release with
support for guided tours on the standard platform UI. For new instances
created in Jakarta and beyond, guided tours are active by default. For
instances originating from pre-Jakarta, guided tours are inactive by default.
See Enable guided tours to enable the feature on your instance.
With the New York release, you can also enable guided tours to run on
Service Portal pages. When you upgrade your instance to New York, the
following results occur.
• For instances that are new in New York, the Guided Tours for Service
Portal feature is active by default.
• For pre-New York instances that you upgrade to New York, the Guided
Tours for Service Portal feature is inactive by default.
• To run guided tours on Service Portal pages, ensure the
com.glide.guided_tours.enable and glide.sp.guided_tours.enable
properties are both set to True. See Enable guided tours to enable the
feature on your instance.

ITOM Health The upgrade process moves your instance to a new ServiceNow® release
version. Upgrading and patching your instance requires planning,
testing, and validation. To ensure a safe and effective upgrade, create

Knowledge The Knowledge Management Service Portal plugin
Management (com.snc.knowledge_serviceportal) is active by default for new or upgrade
customers.
The Knowledge Management Core plugin (com.glideapp.knowledge) is
active by default for new or upgrade customers.
The Knowledge Management with KCS plugin
(com.glideapp.knowledge2) is planned for deprecation. This plugin
contains Knowledge Management V2 features only. KCS features are not
being deprecated and are available in Knowledge Management V3 or
Service Portal.

MetricBase Legacy triggers are available only to upgraded instances. New activations
of the MetricBase application do not include legacy triggers.
MID Server The auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in New York has changed. The
MID Server no longer receives its upgrade through the instance, as it did
in previous releases. All MID Server host machines now require access to
the download site at install.service-now.com to enable auto-
upgrades. For additional details about how MID Server upgrades are
managed and where to look for errors, see MID Server upgrade.
In the New York release, only one Windows MID Server service is permitted
per executable path. Upgraded Windows MID Servers that have multiple
services pointing to the same installation folder are prevented from starting.
See MID Server fails to start for more information.
• There is a new process for accessing the install.service-
now.com download site for MID Server upgrades. New ServiceNow
instances handle all traffic from the download site, which
eliminates the need for MID Server host machines to connect with
install.service-now.com. However, instances upgraded to the
London release require their MID Servers to send their initial upgrade
requests through install.service-now.com. After the first
upgrade, MID Servers can send subsequent auto-upgrade requests
directly to the instance, when the mid.download.through.instance
system property is set to true. For details, see MID Server upgrades.
• The change to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installation
procedure for new MID Servers does not affect upgrades of existing MID
Servers. These MID Servers receive the supported JRE version when they
upgrade.

If an unsupported version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is running


on a MID Server when the MID Server is upgraded, the upgrade process
replaces that JRE with the OpenJDK that is bundled with the MID Server
installer. If a supported JRE is running on the MID Server host, the upgraded
MID Server uses that Java version.
MID Server hosts for instances upgraded from London do not require
connection to the download site at install.service-now.com. The
auto-upgrade process for MID Servers in Madrid is handled through the
instance. However, upgrades from Kingston or earlier require that each
MID Server host machine have access to the download site. For additional
details about how MID Server upgrades are managed and where to look
for errors, see MID Server upgrade.

Mobile platform During the upgrade to the New York release, the instance is updated to use
the new mobile hierarchy, which includes new features such as application
launchers and a configurable navigation bar. Any unmodified base system
mobile applications that are installed on your instance are automatically
updated to work with the new design and can be used with Studio right
away. For more details on the mobile hierarchy, see ServiceNow mobile
app configuration.
Modified base system applications and applications that you have created
in Studio will continue to work after the upgrade, but they will not be
configurable in Studio until after you run the mobile migration script. For
additional details on the migration script, see Migration from Madrid to New
York mobile.

Notifications This release introduces a new Email Client Configuration feature and a
Connection Security option on the Email Account form for choosing the
secure connection for your email server. These features are enabled in new
and upgraded instances. When you upgrade to this release, the following
items are migrated if you previously set them in your instance:
• The secure connection mode that you selected for your email server in
the Email Account form (Enable TLS and Enable SSL fields).
• The email client property settings for controlling:
• Email address autocomplete
(glide.ui.email_client.autocomplete.group)
• From and Reply To email addresses displayed in the email client
(glide.ui.email_client.from and glide.ui.email_client.reply_to)
• Email address recipient qualifiers
(glide.ui.email_client.email_adresss.disambiguator and
glide.ui.email_client.email_address.disambiguator_search)

The email client property settings are preserved in a default


email client configuration created during upgrade. You can view
the default configuration in the new Email Client Configuration
[sys_email_client_configuration] table.
These email client properties are also deprecated in this release
because these features can be set using email client configurations.

Notify The legacy Notify-Twilio driver (com.snc.notify.twilio) plugin is now being
replaced by a Notify-Twilio Direct driver (com.snc.notify.twilio_direct). A
Migrate Now button for one-click migration from the legacy driver to the
new Notify-Twilio Direct driver is provided.
The Notify core plugin now provides JS Telephony Driver support that
enables you to code your own integrations in JavaScript by using the
platform capability of JS Extension Point.
In prior releases, the Notify-Twilio Driver (com.snc.notify.twilio) enabled
voice and SMS services provided by Twilio. This driver has been replaced
by the Notify-Twilio Direct Driver (com.snc.notify.twilio_direct). Both the
drivers work simultaneously provided they are configured with two separate
accounts.
The migration to the new driver has the following impact.
1. Notify participant records will remain inactive until a participant joins a
conference. Previously, they were set to active by default.
2. If you are using the previous driver, the participant record is activated
after a minor delay.

Note: New customers will have access only to the new Notify-Twilio
Direct driver plugin.

Operational Intelligence 1. In New York, user-specified width override values are replaced by
new advanced settings that are used internally to calculate width
values. Width override values are preserved through an upgrade to
New York and are being used internally. However, they do not appear
in the UI and you cannot modify them. When you use the Bounds
Settings wizard in an upgraded instance and you select a metric class
that has a width override value, a notification appears. To use the
new advanced settings in the Bounds Settings wizard, accept the
notification to delete the width override values from an earlier release.
For more information about the Bounds Settings wizard, see Custom
bounds settings.
2. During the upgrade to New York, the Apache Ignite software that
runs on Operational Intelligence MID Servers in MID Server distributed
clusters is upgraded to version 2.5.3. After you upgrade all the MID
Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to New York, restart these
Operational Intelligence MID Servers to complete the Apache Ignite
upgrade.
You might have some data loss during the time that the MID Servers
upgrade starts until the MID Servers are restarted. To minimize
this data loss, before you start the upgrade to New York, disable
the metric connectors. After the upgrade completes, set the
max_fetch_interval_min parameter to how long the connectors were
down and then enable the connectors so that the missing data is
pulled.

After upgrading to New York, the default Event Management binding


workflow which binds nodes to host CIs, is disabled for metric events. If you
relied on this binding before the upgrade, then to allow host binding for
metric events after upgrade, explicitly create a host binding event rule as
described in Create an event rule to bind metric events to host CIs.
After you upgrade all the Operational Intelligence ServiceNow® MID
Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to New York, restart the MID
Servers in the cluster:
1. Stop all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster.
2. Wait for all the MID Servers in the MID Server distributed cluster to be
stopped.
3. Start all the Operational Intelligence MID Servers, one MID Server at a
time.

Some data might be lost between the time that the MID Servers upgrade
starts and until the completion of the MID Servers restart after upgrade. If
you are using connectors, then you can minimize this data loss by disabling
the metric connectors before starting the upgrade. After the upgrade
completes:
1. Set the max_fetch_interval_min parameter to the time length that the
connectors were down.
2. Enable the connectors to pull the missing data.

during upgrade. After upgrade, you can continue to develop and use
keyword-based topics as in previous releases.
Or, you can enable new features, such as applying a Natural Language
Understanding (NLU) model to your Virtual Agent conversations. NLU
models provide your virtual agent with the information it needs to
understand and process user statements in a conversation. The CSM, HR
Service Delivery, and ITSM applications provide prebuilt ServiceNow NLU
models, along with predefined conversation topics. To learn more, see
Get Started with NLU in Virtual Agent.
• Defining a Service Portal Agent Chat Configuration: After upgrading, if
you define a Service Portal Agent Chat configuration, you must remove
any previously installed Virtual Agent Service Portal widgets from portal
pages.
The Service Portal Agent Chat configuration enables users to run Virtual
Agent and Live Agent on all pages of selected service portals. This
means you no longer need to retain the legacy Virtual Agent Service
Portal widget on individual portal pages.
For details, see Migrate from the Virtual Agent Service Portal widget.

1. Migrating Virtual Agent topics: Conversation topics created in the


London release are fully supported in this release and are not changed
during upgrade. After upgrade, you can update your topics, for
example, to use new features such as the no-code controls available
in Virtual Agent Designer.
2. Using Slack Enterprise Grid after upgrading:
• If you have Slack Enterprise Grid workspaces, your end users can
move between those workspaces and use the Virtual Agent bot
from any workspace.
• Your end users must relink their ServiceNow accounts to the Virtual
Agent messaging integration for Slack.
• If you upgrade to Slack Enterprise Grid after upgrading to this
release, an upgrade script runs automatically to complete the
upgrade for the Slack messaging integration.

Application or feature Details


Vulnerability Response If you are upgrading from a previous version of Vulnerability Response, you
can begin using the Vulnerability Response new features immediately. All
updates to Vulnerability Response are only available in the ServiceNow®
Store.
If you've previously installed Vulnerability Response, you don't need to
install the Dependencies (com.snc.vul_dep) plugin prior to installing the
Vulnerability Response update.
For detailed information on upgrade from Kingston or London to
Vulnerability Response, see Vulnerability Response upgrade information.
Application administration is not enabled, by default, in Vulnerability
Response for upgrades. If you add custom tables that rely on inherited
ACLs, you must recreate the ACLs in that custom table. If you add custom
roles or custom ACLs, and you enable Application administration, retest
those roles and ACLs after upgrading. Ensure that the assignable by
attribute on the roles is set correctly to enable access to application
administration.

Note:
Once enabled, Application administration cannot be disabled.

Integration upgrade information


• Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
Prior to London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, the Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration
used an identifier from the Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse that was
not unique across multiple data warehouses. Starting with London
v6.2 and Kingston v5.1, the nexpose_id, which is globally consistent,
replaced it.
If you have an existing Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version earlier
than London v6.2 or Kingston v5.1, and you upgrade to the latest
Rapid7 Vulnerability Integration version, you may get a "Import relies
on nexpose_id" error. In that case, you need to update the SQL query
sent to your Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse with the nexpose_id.
Without it, various features of Vulnerability Response and Rapid7
Vulnerability Integration will not work properly. See KB0751331 to add the
nexpose_id to the SQL import query.

Note: This is true for a Rapid7 Nexpose data warehouse


upgrade or to migrate from the Rapid7 Nexpose data
warehouse to Rapid7 InsightVM.
• Qualys Vulnerability Integration
To reduce upgrade time, if you have the Qualys product or a third-party
integration installed, delete all attachments on your integration data
sources. You can find the attachments by navigating to System Import
Sets > Administration > Data Sources and searching by integration. See
Manage attachments for more information.

ServiceNow New York New York release notes

Application or feature Details


Walk-up Experience Before upgrading, be aware that the following feature changes can affect
your customizations:
• Your online check-in, as well as the onsite queue and onsite check-in
interfaces are updated to reflect the new data model and features.
• Reports using Queue for grouping should use Location due to a change
in the Interaction [interaction] table. Filtering is done based on Channel
instead of Type.
• Notifications may no longer trigger due to State changes in interactions,
such as the On Hold state. Reevaluate your custom notification
conditions.
• Business rules and other logic running on fields that are deprecated, for
example, Queue on the Interactions form.

Exceptions to browser support


Certain applications and features in the New York release have browser requirements that differ
from the list of browsers generally supported by the ServiceNow platform.

Note:
In Jakarta and later, Internet Explorer versions prior to IE11 are no longer supported.

Application or feature Details

API Context menu options can be accessed only if the browser supports
SharedWorker. For example, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

accessibility in Agent Workspace when tabbing between elements. There
are no tabbing issues if you use Firefox browser version 66 or later.

Automated Test Automated Test Framework only supports running tests from desktop
