In ServiceNow, when importing data from an external source (e.g., CSV, Excel, or an external database), the records first go into astaging areabefore being transformed and inserted into their final destination table.
TheImport Set Row Table(sys_import_set_row) is where records are temporarily stored during an import.
This table holds raw data from theImport Set Table (sys_import_set), allowing transformation and validation before writing to the target table.
Load Data→ Records are loaded into theImport Set Row Table (sys_import_set_row).
Transform Data→ ATransform Mapprocesses and moves data to the target table.
Clean Up→ Processed records are removed from thestaging tableafter transformation.
A. Transform Table →Incorrect
