About Data Integrity & Sources

Data Integrity covers how software data flows into ServiceNow, Discovery integration, normalization processes, publisher packs for specific vendors, and third-party data source integration.

Why This Matters for Your Exam

This domain is 28% of the exam - the second largest. Expect questions on SCCM integration, publisher packs (Adobe, Citrix, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, VMware), discovery models, software installations, and IRE API usage.

Key Concepts to Master

Understand the difference between software models and discovery models. Know the primary key fields for matching installations to discovery models (Publisher, Display Name, Version). Master publisher pack capabilities and when to use each.

Exam Tips

Discovery models cannot be created manually - they're auto-created during discovery. The IRE API is used for third-party discovery integration. SCCM plugins are being deprecated in favor of Service Graph Connectors. Each publisher pack has specific license metrics.
