Activation and other requirements

Activation information

Data Management is a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default.

Upgrade information
  • After upgrading a self-hosted instance to Yokohama, the sys_physical_table_stats table doesn't display the latest data for table size, with the sample_period_start column showing dates prior to the upgrade. To see the correct table size, you can set the com.glide.stats.storage_disk_usage.information_schema system property to true, which allows the statsGatherer job to use the information schema to generate the required database statistics.

  • A data management policy record is automatically created for each table that is configured with an archive rule or a table cleaner rule prior to the upgrade.
