Day 9: DDIS - Creating custom tables in the global scope
Scan Check Type: Table Check [sys_db_object]
ServiceNow recommends creating custom tables in scoped applications. Creating custom tables has licensing implications.
Avoid creating custom tables in the global scope. Use scoped applications instead.
This scan was developed using a table check with condition to identify any table records with a prefix of ‘u_’ which uniquely identifies custom global tables. This check is inspired by QualityCloud’s product. With ServiceNow changing their licensing to counting custom table usage, it is especially important to have a good handle on any custom tables and being able to map them back to the proper application.
Download and import the XML to check it out in your instance! At the end of the month I will be bundling all the checks together.
