Integration of MySQL and ServiceNow

MySQL and ServiceNow can be integrated to provide users with various benefits.ServiceNow includes a built-in MySQL connector; therefore, it can work with both MySQL and PostgreSQL. The connector enables organizations to integrate their ServiceNow environment with relational databases and NoSQL databases seamlessly. The connector provides the ability to create tickets from MySQL events, workflow from MySQL events, trigger actions from MySQL events, monitor MySQL health status, execute SQL commands from ServiceNow Workbench, query MySQL from ServiceNow and vice versa, and more.ServiceNow also integrates with other databases like Oracle, DB2, Sybase ASE, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, etc., through additional connectors available in the marketplace. For example, the Oracle adapter extends ServiceNow’s functionality by providing a secure way to access Oracle databases. The adapter supports communication between Oracle databases and ServiceNow by using an SSO-based authentication mechanism that requires users to authenticate once against Oracle’s WebLogic server and then be able to use ServiceNow without reauthenticating.Using the MySQL connector along with the Oracle adapter enables organizations to use ServiceNow to access information stored in both Oracle and MySQL databases. Users can also create dashboards using data stored in these databases.DB2 can be integrated with ServiceNow using a connector that uses DB2’s native user authentication mechanism or Kerberos for SSO. Users can connect to DB2 directly from ServiceNow’s graphical interface or via SOAP APIs.DB2 is one of the most widely used database systems in businesses around the world. DB2 offers high performance through parallel processing by distributing workloads across multiple servers. The DB2 connector for ServiceNow provides users with a way to access DB2 from within ServiceNow’s graphical interface or SOAP API to perform functional tasks like creating dashboards using data stored in DB2 databases.ServiceNow’s data integration capabilities enable businesses to combine various enterprise data sources into a single view for better business decision making. It also allows users to connect to data sources such as MySQL and DB2 to view and analyze data from different perspectives.
