    • A data domain is a collection of information objects. Relate an information object to the database catalog of a database instance to collect the physical data. ServiceNow Discovery finds the database catalog that lists all the catalog objects, or databases, discovered for an instance of a database.

    Before you begin

    Important:

    Starting with the Xanadu release, the data domains module is moved to the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see Manage data domains.
