MID Server installation The installation of the MID Server requires you to satisfy certain connection prerequisites and create a MID Server user before you download and install the MID Server service on a host machine. You can perform the installation prerequisites and install the MID Server manually or use the MID Server Guided Setup utility, which streamlines the entire process and allows you to set up a basic MID Server quickly. The manual process requires these setup tasks, performed in the order shown here: Configure communication between the MID Server and the instance on the appropriate port and enable required web services. See Configure MID Server connection prerequisites for details. Create the MID Server user and grant that user the mid_server role. Download the installer file for the host machine. Install the MID Server on a Linux or Windows host. Test the MID Server connection to the instance. Validate the MID Server to ensure that it is trusted to access credentials used by the instance for automations. Use guided setup for MID Server and DiscoveryDiscovery guided setup provides a sequence of tasks that help you configure Discovery on your ServiceNow® instance.Configure MID Server connection prerequisitesYou must perform several prerequisite tasks to allow the MID Server to connect to the instance. Create the MID Server user and grant the roleCreate the MID Server user ID and grant this user the role it needs to communicate with the instance.

Test MID Server connectivityConfirm network connectivity to the MID Server for automatic upgrades, and then ensure that the MID Server can communicate with the instance.Validate the MID ServerYou must manually validate the MID server after it is installed and launched for the first time. It cannot execute any automation tasks until it is validated.Multiple MID Server deploymentsDepending upon how you use the MID Server (for an external integration, Discovery, Service Mapping or Orchestration) and the load placed on it, you might find it necessary to deploy multiple MID Servers in your network.Uninstall a MID ServerThe MID Server runs as a stand-alone service. You can remove a stand-alone MID Server service to accommodate such tasks as redeploying the MID Server to another host machine or changing the unique name of a MID Server when deploying multiple MID Servers.
