Cleaning Previous Synchronization Data
To clean previous synchronization data:
1. From the Synchronize menu, click Clear.
2. Select a cleaning option for the relevant mapping.
Remove invalid is the safest option to clean the database. It removes any mapping data referencing an object that no longer exists.
Reset is advised when you have added or modified fields in a mapping and you want to bring new data. Objects will be resynchronized at the next synchronization, even if they have not been modified.
Delete is to be used carefully. It removes all correspondences between HOPEX and ServiceNow. It is advised if you need to initialize a new mapping (e.g. if you have changed the source or the target object of a mapping).
*Clean Everything is to be used carefully: it removes all correspondences between HOPEX and ServiceNow for all the mappings (e.g. you need to restart from zero using a different database).
