Why teams connect Actian Vector and ServiceNow

Get the data locked inside ServiceNow into Actian Vector as live tables, and send results back where ServiceNow can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever ServiceNow is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB), Users and Groups from ServiceNow into tables in Actian Vector continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Actian Vector can also be written back into fields in ServiceNow where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • 02 Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • 03 Keep reporting tables in Vector refreshed from production databases on a schedule.
  • 04 Publish aggregates computed in Vector back to operational tools that business teams use.

Common sync patterns

Where ServiceNow accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Actian Vector sync back onto records in ServiceNow, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Actian Vector preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of ServiceNow or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on ServiceNow's data

Records and events from ServiceNow land in Actian Vector as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Actian Vector and ServiceNow

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Actian Vector objects ServiceNow objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Roles Database principals used to grant the sync connection least-privilege access. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones. Users and Roles is specific to Actian Vector and Custom Tables to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers targeted by a sync connection. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs. Databases is specific to Actian Vector and Incidents to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced tables. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling. Schemas is specific to Actian Vector and Change Requests to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables that serve as sync sources or destinations. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting. Tables is specific to Actian Vector and Problems to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views readable as query-backed sync sources. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems. Views is specific to Actian Vector and Service Catalog Requests to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Typed columns mapped field-by-field during schema mapping. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases. Columns is specific to Actian Vector and Configuration Items (CMDB) to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Actian Vector and ServiceNow

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Actian Vector ServiceNow Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Actian Vector for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to ServiceNow through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

ServiceNow Actian Vector Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ServiceNow for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Actian Vector as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Actian Vector: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput depends on cluster resources and query concurrency.
  • ServiceNow: Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators.
