Activate database rotation
Learn how to activate database rotation.
Before you begin
Role required: admin
About this task
There are two database rotation plugins.
- The Database Rotations (com.snc.db.rotation) plugin activates Table Rotation and Table Extension without any tables automatically included.
The Database Rotations Default Tables (com.snc.db.rotation_default_tables) plugin applies Table Rotation and Extension to specific tables.
Note: Deployment of this plugin should be executed in partnership with a ServiceNow representative.
For new instances, database rotation is active by default. If you are upgrading from a previous version, users with the admin role can activate the Database Rotations (com.snc.db.rotation) plugin if it isn't already active.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Applications > All Available Applications > All.
Find the plugin using the filter criteria and search bar.
You can search for the plugin by its name or ID. If you cannot find a plugin, you might have to request it from ServiceNow personnel.
Select Install to start the installation process.
Note: When domain separation and delegated admin are enabled in an instance, the administrative user must be in the global domain. Otherwise, the following error appears:
Application installation is unavailable because another operation is running: Plugin Activation for <plugin name>.You will see a message after installation is completed. For information about the components installed with a plugin, see Find components installed with an application.
What to do next
Do not activate the Database Rotations Default Tables (com.snc.db.rotation_default_tables) plugin. Instead, specify the tables manually, after consulting a ServiceNow representative.
