Data transfer from GGUS to SNow
Data transfer from GGUS to SNow is done using SOAP web services provided by SNow. As SNOW is queuing the SOAP requests GGUS does push a ticket to SNow only once. However a delay in the synchronization process may occur.
Due to incompatible data types in several fields GGUS implemented a wrapper tool for covering this issue. The wrapper tool is implemented in PHP.
Used operations are:
- insert,
- update,
- get.
Incidents and requests
If a GGUS 'incident' becomes a GGUS 'change request' nothing will change in the related SNow ticket. It will continue its life as an incident INC999999.
If a GGUS ticket becomes a 'Change request' in GGUS before transferring it to SNow, GGUS will create a "Request" in SNow.
The ticket synchronization will be the same as for incidents.
For further information on SNow SOAP API for requests see also Media:IT_SNowRequestFulfillment.pdf.

Data transfer from SNow to GGUS
Data transfer from SNow to GGUS is depending on SNow internal business rules. SNow tickets with visibility classified as "sensitive" are not visible via the ticket URL in GGUS history. Updates on sensitive tickets are not propagated to GGUS.
Technically the data transfer from SNow to GGUS is done using SOAP web services provided by GGUS system.
Incidents and requests
If a SNow 'incident' INC999999 becomes a SNow "Request" REQ888888, its number will be sent to GGUS and, in the same web service call, the GGUS field " Ticket category" will change value automatically (triggered by SNow) from 'incident' into 'change request'. GGUS will synchronize with the SNow request from now on.
Used operations are:
- TicketModify.
