SAP SolMan ServiceNow Integration

Integrate SAP Solution Manager (SolMan) and ServiceNow to automatically convert SAP monitoring alerts into ITSM incidents

What Can I Integrate Between SAP SolMan and ServiceNow?

ZigiOps can integrate any SAP SolMan alert type with any ServiceNow table, enabling custom workflows tailored to your SAP monitoring and ITSM processes.

Out of the box, ZigiOps provides ready-made integration templates for the most common SAP SolMan to ServiceNow scenarios, including:

• SAP SolMan Alerts - ServiceNow Incidents

• SAP SolMan Alerts - ServiceNow Incidents (Backsync)

These templates serve as preconfigured starting points and can be customized or extended to support additional alert types, ServiceNow tables, and business-specific workflows.

Common SAP SolMan entities	Common ServiceNow entities	Common fields typically synchronized
Alert	Incident	Node/CI, Title/Short Description, Severity/Priority, Status/State, Category, Description, Attachments
Any SAP SolMan alert type	Any ServiceNow table	Standard + custom fields, Status/State mappings, Correlation ID (recommended)

ZigiOps supports synchronization of all standard and custom fields. The table above lists only the most commonly used fields.
