# Use a local data store to pull data from

# Use a local data store to pull data from {#ariaid-title1}

If a large amount of data needs to be queried often, and the data does not need to be
real-time, perform a sync of the ServiceNow table that you're interested in
with your integrating application's data store.

## Data push

* Using a scheduled job, ServiceNow can generate a csv/xml from a report and have it emailed to a specific location. The receiver might have a trigger to take the email attachment, parse it, and populate an internal table from which the application can communicate when the data is needed.
* Using a schedule job, ServiceNow can generate a csv/xml from a report and FTP it to an public FTP/FTPS location. The integrating product would consume this csv file on a regular basis and populate an internal table from which the application can communicate when the data is needed.

Note:  
Currently, the platform does not provide a method for extracting very large amounts of data and sending the output to an FTP server. However, a customization to perform that function is described at [here](http://www.servicenowguru.com/integration/exporting-report-ftp/). The customization was developed for use in specific ServiceNow instances, and is not supported by ServiceNow Customer support. The method is provided as-is and should be tested thoroughly before implementation. Post all questions and comments regarding this customization to our community [forum](http://community.service-now.com/forum).

## Data pull

Using a cron job, a machine internal to your network can make a wget call to pull csv/xml
data from any table within ServiceNow. The integrating product would consume this csv/xml file on a regular basis and populate
an internal table from which the application can communicate when the data is needed.
Examples of the wget command that would be used:

* wget --user=itil --password=itil --no-check-certificate https://\<instance name\>.service-now.com/incident_list.do?CSV
* wget --user=itil --password=itil --no-check-certificate https://\<instance name\>.service-now.com/incident_list.do?XML
