    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    If you previously installed the ServiceNow SDK on your system, you can upgrade to use the latest version. Upgrading the ServiceNow SDK doesn't update any applications you have previously created or converted with the ServiceNow SDK.

    This procedure uses the ServiceNow SDK command-line interface (CLI). From a command-line tool, enter now-sdk --help to get information about the available commands and global options. To get additional information about a command and its parameters, enter the command and --help or -h. For example, now-sdk auth --help. For more information about the CLI, see ServiceNow SDK CLI.
