Mastering ServiceNow: Unpacking the Top Problem Management Questions

In the dynamic world of IT Service Management (ITSM), particularly within the robust ServiceNow platform, understanding the nuances of Problem Management is crucial for ensuring service stability and minimizing user impact. Whether you’re a seasoned ServiceNow administrator, a developer, or an aspiring ITSM professional gearing up for an interview, grasping the core concepts and practical applications is key. This article delves into some of the most frequently asked questions surrounding ServiceNow’s Problem Management module, offering practical explanations, real-world examples, and valuable insights for your journey.

Navigating the ServiceNow Landscape: Versions and User Management Fundamentals

Before we dive deep into problem management specifics, it’s essential to establish a foundational understanding of the ServiceNow environment itself. This includes its versioning, user administration, and core data structures.

Current and Past ServiceNow Versions

Keeping up with ServiceNow’s release cycle is vital for leveraging the latest features and security enhancements. When asked about your experience, being specific demonstrates your engagement with the platform’s evolution.

• Current Version: The latest release is Washington DC. This indicates you’re working with the most up-to-date functionalities and fixes.
• Versions Worked On: A comprehensive list like Rome, San Diego, Tokyo, Utah, Vancouver, and Washington DC showcases a breadth of experience across significant platform updates. This experience is invaluable for understanding how features have matured.

User and Group Permissions: The Best Practice

Managing user access and permissions is a cornerstone of security and operational efficiency. In ServiceNow, this often revolves around roles assigned to users and groups.

• Adding Permissions: You can add permissions (roles) to users and groups both manually and programmatically using scripts (like GlideRecord).
• Best Practice: The recommended approach is to grant permissions to groups. When an employee leaves the organization, simply removing them from the relevant group automatically revokes their associated permissions. This significantly simplifies user lifecycle management and reduces the risk of orphaned access.

Core User and Group Tables

Understanding the underlying tables that store user and group information is fundamental for scripting and data manipulation.

• User Table: The primary table for user information is sys_user.
• Group Member Table: The table that links users to groups is sys_user_group. This is a common point of confusion; remember that sys_user_group stores the groups themselves, while the relationship is often managed via a join table.

Scripting User and Group Management

For automated provisioning or de-provisioning, scripting plays a crucial role. Here’s how you can create user and group accounts programmatically.

• Creating User Accounts:

  
  var userGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
  userGr.initialize();
  userGr.username = 'jdoe';
  userGr.firstname = 'John';
  userGr.lastName = 'Doe';
  userGr.email = 'jdoe@example.com';
  userGr.insert();
  

• Creating Groups:

  
  var newGr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_group');
  newGr.initialize();
  newGr.name = 'New Project Team';
  newGr.manager = '62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'; // sys_id of the manager
  newGr.email = 'new.project.team@example.com';
  newGr.description = 'Team responsible for the new project initiative.';
  newGr.insert();
  

Adding Permissions via Script

When you assign a role to a user or group, ServiceNow creates records in specific tables. Knowing these tables is key for scripting role assignments.

• User Roles: Permissions for users are managed in the sys_user_has_role table.

  
  var userRole = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');
  userRole.setValue('user', '62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'); // sys_id of the user
  userRole.setValue('role', '2831a114c611228501d4ea6c309d626d'); // sys_id of the role
  userRole.insert();
  

• Group Roles: Permissions for groups are managed in the sys_group_has_role table.

  
  var grpRole = new GlideRecord('sys_group_has_role');
  grpRole.setValue('group', '477a05d153013010b846ddeeff7b1225'); // sys_id of the group
  grpRole.setValue('role', '2831a114c611228501d4ea6c309d626d'); // sys_id of the role
  grpRole.insert();
  

User Delegation: Empowering Collaboration

User delegation is a powerful feature that allows one user to act on behalf of another, typically during absences. This ensures business continuity.

• What is User Delegation? It’s the process of granting another user the permission to perform tasks, access resources, and act on behalf of the original user. This is commonly used for vacation, leave, or extended absences.
• How it Works: Within the original user’s record, under the “Delegates” related list, you can specify who will be the delegate, the start and end dates of the delegation, and the specific permissions they will inherit (assignments, notifications, approvals).
• Example: An employee going on vacation can delegate their approval tasks to a colleague. This ensures that approvals are processed promptly, preventing workflow bottlenecks.

Managing Group Membership via Script

Automating the addition and removal of users from groups is essential for dynamic access control.

• Adding a Group Member:

  
  var grMem = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember'); // Correct table name is sys_user_grmember
  grMem.user = '62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'; // sys_id of the user
  grMem.group = '477a05d153013010b846ddeeff7b1225'; // sys_id of the group
  grMem.insert();
  

• Removing a Group Member:

  
  var grMem = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
  grMem.addQuery('user', '62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1'); // sys_id of the user
  grMem.addQuery('group', '477a05d153013010b846ddeeff7b1225'); // sys_id of the group
  grMem.query();
  if (grMem.next()) {
      grMem.deleteRecord();
  }
  

ServiceNow User Interfaces and Web Services Users

Understanding different user interface paradigms and specific user account types is crucial for administration.

• User Interfaces: ServiceNow has evolved through several UI versions, including UI15, UI16, and the modern “Next Experience UI.”
• Web Services User: A “web services user” is a specific type of user account designed for third-party applications to integrate with ServiceNow programmatically. These users cannot log in to the ServiceNow instance through a standard user interface. They are typically used for API integrations.

Accessing Current User Information

Retrieving information about the currently logged-in user is a common requirement for both client-side and server-side scripting.

• Client-Side: Use the global g_user object.

  
  var currentUserId = g_user.userID; // e.g., '6816f79cc0a8016401c5a33be044e441'
  

• Server-Side: Use the gs (GlideSystem) object.

  
  var currentUserId = gs.getUserID();
  

• Checking Group Membership:

  
  if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf('ITIL Users')) {
      // User is a member of the 'ITIL Users' group
  } else {
      // User is not a member
  }
  

Security Administration and Impersonation

These concepts are vital for testing and ensuring proper access controls are in place.

• Security Admin Role: The security_admin role is required to work with Access Control Lists (ACLs), which define record-level security.
• Impersonation: This feature allows an administrator to log in as another user for testing purposes. It’s an indispensable tool for verifying permissions and troubleshooting user-specific issues without needing to share credentials.

User Preferences

Users can personalize their ServiceNow experience through preferences. These settings are specific to each user and do not affect the global instance.

Deep Dive into Incident, Problem, and Change Management

The core of ITSM lies in managing disruptions, identifying root causes, and implementing necessary changes. ServiceNow provides robust modules for Incident, Problem, and Change Management.

Defining Incidents and Problems

Understanding the distinction between an incident and a problem is fundamental to effective ITSM processes.

• Incident: An incident is an unplanned interruption to an IT service or a reduction in the quality of an IT service. The primary goal of incident management is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimize the adverse impact on business operations. Example: Your email client suddenly stops working.
• Problem: A problem is the underlying cause of one or more incidents. Problem management aims to identify the root cause of incidents, provide workarounds, and prevent recurring incidents. If the same issue affects multiple users simultaneously, it’s often categorized as an incident with many child incidents stemming from a single root cause that needs a problem record to be investigated. Example: A widespread network connectivity issue affecting multiple users is a problem, with each user’s inability to access resources being an incident.

The Relationship Between Incident, Problem, and Change

These three modules are intrinsically linked, forming a crucial workflow for IT service restoration and improvement.

The typical flow is:

1. Incident: An end-user reports an issue (an incident).
2. Problem: If the same or similar incidents occur repeatedly, or if a single incident’s root cause is unknown and requires deep investigation, a Problem record is created to diagnose and find a permanent solution.
3. Change Request: Once the root cause is identified and a fix is determined, a Change Request is created to implement the necessary modifications to the IT infrastructure or software.

Example: A user reports that their application crashes sporadically (incident). The support team investigates and finds that this happens due to a specific data corruption issue (problem). To fix this, they need to deploy a patch to the application’s database, which is then managed through a change request.

Creating Records Programmatically (Incidents, Problems, Changes)

Automating the creation of these core ITSM records can streamline workflows and data entry.

• Creating Incident:

  
  var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
  gr.initialize();
  gr.caller_id = '86826bf03710200044e0bschbe5d94'; // sys_id of the caller
  gr.category = 'inquiry';
  gr.subcategory = 'antivirus';
  gr.cmdb_ci = 'affd3c8437201000deeabfc8bcbe5dc3'; // sys_id of the Configuration Item
  gr.short_description = 'Antivirus scan failed on user workstation';
  gr.description = 'The scheduled antivirus scan failed to complete on the user\'s machine. Manual intervention required.';
  gr.assignment_group = 'a715cd759f2002002920bde8132e7018'; // sys_id of the assignment group
  gr.insert();
  

• Creating Problem:

  
  var gr = new GlideRecord('problem');
  gr.initialize();
  gr.caller_id = '86826bf03710200044e0bschbe5d94'; // sys_id of the caller
  gr.category = 'network';
  gr.subcategory = 'connectivity';
  gr.cmdb_ci = 'affd3c8437201000deeabfc8bcbe5dc3'; // sys_id of the CI
  gr.short_description = 'Intermittent network connectivity issues reported';
  gr.description = 'Users in the marketing department are experiencing intermittent network connectivity loss, impacting productivity.';
  gr.assignment_group = 'a715cd759f2002002920bde8132e7018'; // sys_id of the assignment group
  gr.insert();
  

• Creating Change Request:

  
  var gr = new GlideRecord('change_request');
  gr.initialize();
  gr.category = 'normal'; // e.g., normal, standard, emergency
  gr.subcategory = 'software_update';
  gr.cmdb_ci = 'affd3c8437201000deeabfc8bcbe5dc3'; // sys_id of the CI
  gr.short_description = 'Apply critical security patch to Web Server';
  gr.description = 'Deploying the latest security patch to mitigate CVE-XXXX-XXXX vulnerability.';
  gr.assignment_group = 'a715cd759f2002002920bde8132e7018'; // sys_id of the assignment group
  gr.insert();
  

Automating Workflows: Business Rules in Action

Business Rules are server-side scripts that run when records are displayed, inserted, updated, or deleted. They are crucial for automating complex logic.

• Auto-Closing Child Incidents: When a parent incident is closed, it’s good practice to close its associated child incidents to maintain data integrity.

  Logic: An after update Business Rule on the incident table.

  
  // Business Rule: Auto-Close Child Incidents
  // When: After Update
  // Condition: current.state.changesTo(7) && current.parent == '' // Assuming state 7 is 'Closed'
  if (current.state == 7 && current.parent == '') {
      // GlideRecord to find child incidents
      var grChild = new GlideRecord('incident');
      grChild.addQuery('parent', current.sys_id);
      grChild.query();
      while (grChild.next()) {
          // Avoid re-triggering the BR by checking if state is already closed
          if (grChild.state != 7) {
              grChild.state = 7; // Set the state to Closed
              grChild.update(); // Update the child incident
          }
      }
  }
  

  Troubleshooting Auto-Close: Ensure the `state` value for ‘Closed’ is correct for your instance. Also, check if the `parent` field is truly empty on parent incidents. A recursive loop could occur if not handled carefully; adding a check for the child’s current state prevents this.
• Preventing Incident Closure with Open Tasks: You can block an incident from being closed if associated incident tasks are still open.

  Logic: An before update Business Rule on the incident table.

  
  // Business Rule: Prevent Incident Closure with Open Tasks
  // When: Before Update
  // Condition: current.state.changesTo(7) // Assuming state 7 is 'Closed'
  var grTask = new GlideRecord('incident_task');
  grTask.addQuery('incident', current.sys_id);
  grTask.addQuery('state', '!=', 3); // Assuming state 3 is 'Closed'
  grTask.query();
  if (grTask.hasNext()) {
      gs.addErrorMessage('Cannot close the incident because there are open incident tasks.');
      current.setAbortAction(true); // Prevent the update
  }
  

  Troubleshooting Task Closure Prevention: Verify the correct state values for ‘Closed’ on both incident and incident_task tables. The `setAbortAction(true)` is critical for stopping the closure.
• Auto-Closing Incidents When a Problem is Closed: A common requirement is to close all related incidents when the problem they stem from is resolved.

  Logic: An after update Business Rule on the problem table.

  
  // Business Rule: Close Incidents on Problem Closure
  // When: After Update
  // Condition: current.state.changesTo(7) // Assuming state 7 is 'Closed'
  if (current.state == 7) {
      // GlideRecord to find incidents associated with the problem
      var grIncident = new GlideRecord('incident');
      grIncident.addQuery('problem_id', current.sys_id);
      grIncident.addQuery('state', '!=', 7); // Assuming 7 is the state value for 'Closed'
      grIncident.query();
      while (grIncident.next()) {
          // Avoid re-triggering the BR by checking if state is already closed
          if (grIncident.state != 7) {
              grIncident.state = 7; // Set the state to Closed
              grIncident.update(); // Update the incident
          }
      }
  }
  

Creating Change Requests from Incidents

When a support engineer identifies that a permanent fix requires a change to the system, they can initiate a change request directly from the incident.

This is typically handled through client-side scripting (e.g., on a button or UI action) or server-side logic that creates a new change_request record, linking it back to the incident.

ServiceNow Table Structure and Customization

A deep understanding of ServiceNow’s table structure, field types, and customization options is essential for effective platform development and administration.

Out-of-the-Box vs. Custom Tables

ServiceNow provides a vast array of pre-built tables to support its ITSM processes. Understanding what constitutes an OOTB table is important.

• Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) Tables: These are tables provided by ServiceNow that do not start with x_ or u_. Examples include incident, problem, change_request, cmdb_ci, etc. Tables starting with x_ or u_ typically indicate tables created within scoped applications or custom applications, respectively.

Base Tables and Extended Tables

ServiceNow utilizes an object-oriented approach to table design, where tables can inherit properties from parent tables.

• Base Tables: These are tables that are not extended by any other table but are extended by many other tables. They serve as foundational structures. Examples include task (which incident, problem, and change_request extend) and cmdb_ci (the base table for Configuration Items).
• Examples of Task Tables: incident, problem, and change_request are all examples of tables that extend the task table, inheriting common fields like assignment group, state, and caller.

Access Controls (ACLs) and Table Creation

When you create a new table in ServiceNow, security is a primary concern. By default, ServiceNow automatically generates Access Control Lists (ACLs) to manage permissions.

• Default ACLs: When creating a new table, if the “Create ACLs” checkbox is selected (which is usually checked by default), ServiceNow automatically generates four ACLs: create, delete, read, and write. These provide basic access control for the new table. If you uncheck this box, you’ll need to manually create your ACLs.

Field Types and Number Fields

ServiceNow supports a wide variety of field types to capture different kinds of data. Number fields, like incident numbers, have specific configuration options.

• Creating Number Fields (e.g., Incident Number): To create a field that automatically generates sequential numbers (like INC0010001), you configure this in the table’s “Control” settings. You define a prefix (e.g., “INC”) and the number of digits to be used. The “Auto Number” field must be checked.
• Ten Common Field Types:
  1. Reference
  2. String
  3. List
  4. Choice
  5. Email
  6. Date/Time
  7. Date
  8. Boolean
  9. Integer
  10. Journal
  11. Attachment

Table Extension: Inheriting Properties

When a table extends another table, it inherits fields and behaviors. This is a core principle of ServiceNow’s data model.

• What Happens When You Extend a Table: The child table does not duplicate the fields from the parent. Instead, it references them. Fields defined in the parent table (like sys_created_on, sys_updated_on, etc.) are automatically available in the child table. A special field called class is added to the parent table to track which child table a record belongs to. This prevents redundant creation of fields and maintains a single source of truth for common attributes.

Temporary vs. Normal Tables

ServiceNow distinguishes between tables that store data persistently and those for short-term storage.

• Temporary Tables: These tables are designed for short-term data storage, typically for data staging or import processes. They often extend the import_set_row table and have data retention policies (e.g., data is automatically purged after 7 days).
• Normal Tables: These tables store data permanently until it is manually deleted or archived.
• Increasing Retention Period for Temp Tables: Yes, you can extend the data retention period for temporary tables using archive rules.

Remote Tables vs. Normal Tables

The way data is accessed and stored differs between these table types.

• Remote Tables: These tables provide access to live data from an external data source without copying the data into ServiceNow. The data remains in its original location.
• Normal Tables: These tables store data directly within the ServiceNow instance’s database.

Table Relationships: One-to-One and One-to-Many

Understanding how tables relate to each other is crucial for building complex applications.

• One-to-Many Relationship: This is the most common relationship. A record in one table can be associated with multiple records in another table, but each record in the second table is linked to only one record in the first.
  • Example: A User (sys_user) can have many Incidents (incident). Each incident, however, is typically assigned to only one user. The `caller_id` field on the incident table establishes this link.
• Many-to-Many Relationship: In this relationship, records in one table can be associated with multiple records in another table, and vice-versa. This is typically implemented using a “join” or “many-to-many” table.
  • Example: Incidents (incident) and Groups (sys_user_group). An incident might require input from multiple groups (e.g., Network Team, Server Team), and a group might be involved in resolving many different incidents. The task_group table (or similar mechanisms) often facilitates this.

Ways to Create Records

ServiceNow offers multiple avenues for creating new records within its tables.

• Record Producer: A form that allows users to create records in a specific table, often triggered from the Service Portal.
• Email: Incoming email can be configured to create records (e.g., creating an incident from an email to support@example.com).
• GlideRecord: Server-side scripting using GlideRecord to programmatically insert records.
• Form: The standard ServiceNow form interface for manual record creation.
• Excel Sheet: Importing data from an Excel spreadsheet using import sets.
• External System: Using APIs or integration platforms to push data into ServiceNow.

Controlling Field Behavior: Mandatory, Read-Only, Display

ServiceNow provides several mechanisms to control how fields behave on forms and in scripts.

• Mandatory, Read-Only, Display: These properties can be set using:
  • Dictionary Properties: Directly on the field’s dictionary entry.
  • Dictionary Overrides: To change a parent table field’s behavior on a child table.
  • UI Policies: Client-side logic that dynamically changes field attributes based on conditions.
  • Data Policies: Similar to UI Policies but can also enforce rules on the server-side.
  • g_form.setMandatory()/g_form.setReadOnly(): Client-side JavaScript to control these properties dynamically.
• Display Fields: A table can have multiple fields, but only one field should be designated as the “display” field. This field is typically used in reference fields to show a meaningful value instead of just the sys_id. Having more than one display field can lead to confusion and inconsistent behavior in searches and lookups.

Understanding `current` Object and Setting Field Values

The `current` object is fundamental for server-side scripting.

• What is the `current` Object? It’s a server-side object that represents the record currently being processed by a script (e.g., in a Business Rule, Script Include, or Workflow script). It allows you to get and set values on that record.
• Setting Field Values on the `current` Form:
  • Using setValue(): This sets the actual value of the field. For reference fields, you must provide the sys_id of the referenced record.

    
    // For a string field
    current.setValue('short_description', 'New value for description');
    
    // For a reference field (e.g., assignment_group)
    current.setValue('assignment_group', 'a715cd759f2002002920bde8132e7018'); // sys_id of the group
    

  • Using setDisplayValue(): This sets the human-readable display value for a field, often used for reference fields. ServiceNow will try to find the correct `sys_id` based on the display value provided.

    
    // For a reference field
    current.setDisplayValue('assignment_group', 'IT Support'); // Sets the group with the display name 'IT Support'
    

Reference Qualifiers: Filtering Reference Fields

Reference Qualifiers are powerful tools to dynamically filter the records shown in reference fields, making user selection more precise.

• Purpose: To restrict the data available in reference and list fields.
• Types of Reference Qualifiers:
  1. Simple: Uses a fixed query condition directly in the dictionary entry.
     • Example: To show only active users, you’d set active=true.
  2. Dynamic: Leverages pre-defined “Dynamic Filter Options” (System Definition > Dynamic Filter Options) which can use relative dates, user information, etc.
     • Example: Displaying items from the current user’s department.
  3. Advanced (JavaScript): Uses custom JavaScript code to define complex filtering logic. This offers the most flexibility.
     • Example: Filtering incidents to show only those assigned to the current user’s assignment group and with a priority less than 3.

       
       javascript: 'assignment_group=' + current.assignment_group + '^priority<3';
       

• Differences:
  • Simple vs. Dynamic: Simple uses static conditions; Dynamic uses context-aware options.
  • Dynamic vs. Advanced: Dynamic relies on pre-configured options; Advanced allows for custom, complex JavaScript logic for maximum control.
  • Simple vs. Advanced: Simple is for basic filters; Advanced is for complex, custom logic that can involve multiple conditions, user context, and other dynamic factors.

Dependent Values: Cascading Dropdowns

Dependent values enable cascaded dropdowns, where the choices in one field are filtered based on the selection in another.

• How it Works: You configure a “Dependent Field” attribute on the dependent field’s dictionary entry, pointing to the parent field. Then, in the choice list for the dependent field, you define which choices appear based on specific parent field values.
• Example:
  • Parent Field: Category (choices: Hardware, Software, Network)
  • Dependent Field: Subcategory (dependent on Category)
  • If Category is ‘Hardware’, Subcategory shows: ‘Laptop’, ‘Desktop’, ‘Printer’.
  • If Category is ‘Software’, Subcategory shows: ‘Operating System’, ‘Application’, ‘Database’.

Calculated Values and Attributes

These features allow for dynamic field population and behavior modification.

• Calculated Value: If a field’s value needs to be computed based on other fields, you can use a “Calculated” dictionary property. This typically involves a simple JavaScript expression or a reference to a script include.
• Attributes: Attributes are key-value pairs added to dictionary entries (fields or tables) to modify their behavior.
  • Examples:
    • no_email: Prevents email notifications for updates to this field.
    • no_attachment: Disables attachments for this field.
    • tree_picker: Renders a field as a tree-like structure.
• Enabling/Disabling Attachments: You can disable attachments on a form by adding the no_attachment attribute to the collection field (which represents the table itself) in its dictionary entry.

Dictionary Overrides: Customizing Parent Fields

Dictionary overrides are essential for tailoring inherited fields to the specific needs of child tables.

• Purpose: To change the behavior or default value of a field inherited from a parent table in a child table.
• Example: The priority field might have a default value of 4 in the task table. You can use a dictionary override on the incident table to change this default to 5 or make it mandatory if it wasn’t in the parent.
• Properties You Can Override: Pretty much any property defined on the original dictionary entry, including: Display, Max Length, Mandatory, Read Only, Default Value, Choice List Specification, Attributes, etc.

Application Menus and Process Flow

These concepts relate to how users navigate and interact with ServiceNow applications.

• Application Menus: These define the navigation structure within ServiceNow. They group modules (links to forms or lists) under specific application headings in the left-hand navigator. This is how end-users access forms and lists.
• Process Flow: Visually represents the stages or states a record goes through during its lifecycle. It helps users understand where they are in a workflow or process.

Data Lookups and UI Policies/Data Policies

These mechanisms automate data population and control field behavior.

• Data Lookup Rules: These allow you to automatically populate field values based on the values of other fields on the form. They are configured in a separate table and are triggered when specific conditions are met.
• UI Policies: Client-side scripts that dynamically change field visibility, mandatory status, read-only status, and execute scripts based on form conditions.
  • Global Checkbox: When checked, the UI Policy applies to all views of the form. When unchecked, you can specify a particular view.
  • Reverse if False: If checked, the actions of the UI Policy are reversed when the condition evaluates to false. For instance, if a field is made mandatory when the condition is true, it becomes optional when the condition is false.
  • On Load Checkbox: If checked, the UI Policy runs as soon as the form loads. If unchecked, it only runs when a field value changes that triggers the UI Policy’s conditions.
  • Inherit Checkbox: If checked, the UI Policy will also apply to tables that extend the current table.
  • Can you write scripts in UI Policy? Yes, by enabling the “Run scripts” checkbox in the UI Policy Action.
• Data Policies: Similar to UI Policies but can enforce rules on both the client-side and server-side, ensuring data consistency regardless of how the record is accessed.
• Converting UI Policy to Data Policy: Yes, you can convert UI Policies to Data Policies. There’s usually a “Convert to Data Policy” option.
• Cases Where UI Policy Cannot Be Converted: You generally cannot convert UI Policies that heavily rely on:
  • Controlling data visibility (show/hide fields).
  • Controlling views.
  • Controlling related lists.
  • Complex client-side script execution that doesn’t have a direct server-side equivalent.
