    Validate domain hierarchy

    By default, the instance validates the domain hierarchy every time you change the domain table, change the query method, or reset the records to the global domain.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    Domain hierarchy validation might take an excessive amount of time if there are a large number of records in a table.

    About this task

    The Domain Progress Workers list displays any currently running domain tasks. Use the following procedure to manually start the validation process.
    Note: Domain paths are used for all customers on Helsinki and later. Domain numbering is no longer used. ServiceNow Technical Support can assist in the upgrade. When you create a domain or update the parent of a domain, the system runs a scheduled job to recalculate domain paths. The result of the scheduled job, use the following URL: https://<your-instance-name>/syslog_domain_list.do

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Domain Admin > Configuration.
    2. Click Validate domains hierarchy.
    3. After the validation process completes, review the Domain Alerts section for any renumbering or path conversion errors.
      The domain validation process automatically fixes some validation errors and provides information about errors that cannot be automatically fixed.

    What to do next

    If domain hierarchy validation takes an excessive amount of time due to a large number of records in a table, you can exclude these tables from the validation process. To do so,
    1. Add this property to the System Properties [sys_properties] table: glide.sys.domain.validation_skip_threshold.
    2. Set the integer value to the maximum number of records that a table can have for it to be validated. Tables with a larger number of records than this value are not validated. The default value is 10000000.

    You can also view the domain log by click a domain log record.
