A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

How to Populate UCMDB with Data from ServiceNow

To populate UCMDB with data from ServiceNow, do the following:

Configure queries

The population TQL query is created in UCMDB to indicate the data that needs to be populated from ServiceNow.

For the details of Population Queries, you can refer to Developer Reference > Creating Discovery and Integration Adapters > Developing Generic Adapters > Achieving Data Population using the Generic Adapter. The Generic Adapter works in instance mode (meaning it does not work with single CI types, but with collections of CIs grouped together by a main root CI).

The adapter comes with the following set of OOTB TQL queries that can be found under the Modeling Studio > Queries > Integrations > ServiceNow > Population folder.

Create XML Mapping Files.

The XML mapping file describes the topology that should be pulled from the ServiceNow instance and how it should be mapped to the UCMDB class model. Mapping files for population are created in ServiceNowGenericAdapter/mappings/population/<name of the mapping file>.xml.
Define a synchronization schedule for the integration job, if desired.

Jobs can also be run manually, without a schedule.
