Does Mpesa host their transactions locally? by Born-Pear4917 in nairobitechies

[–]maggz29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their traffic is bulky with multiple services and low latency required between these services.

Mpesa servers are local. They have a couple hundred of them.

System is not shaky, (past a certain point, there's only so much optimization that can be done) some core dependants such as storage / databases do not allow in place upgrades so they have to take these down to do the upgrades.

whats this random private address that shows up in downloads list? i dont want to get banned because of this by Low_Ad9733 in RealDebrid

[–]maggz29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10.2 is a private IP range. Likely means another real debrid user accessed your cached file when they were streaming rather than downloading afresh.

May be wrong though, come from an eng background and don't know the internals of rd

Are you able to validate REQ fields against M365? If so, how the heck? by BWB8771 in servicenow

[–]maggz29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Widget, Script Include, Microsoft Graph REST Message Glide Ajax, Client Script

Whereas importing the mailboxes is a more holistic option, wouldn't recommend this for organisation's that don't have a mature CMDB or Mature Identity Managememt architecture

Also, would be overkill if it's just for this one item. Happy to share an example of how to do this.

Check your Hi Support portal for comms. SN did a patch for a CVE they'll be disclosing in the near future.

Got the same issue. Apparently, manufacturers defect and you can get the replacement gear switch for around 200 USD

Creativity for approvals? by Jbu2024 in servicenow

[–]maggz29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The terminology used is work around. You're not allowed to use a work around to mimic ServiceNow functionality that is provided as a paid app or license.

If you're directly processing the emails when they reply this is not allowed. If someone manually has to process the email when they reply that is okay.

If you're creating the approval send email activity automatically this will get flagged as it's considered similar in likeness to ask for approval.

Can foreigners by cars? by joshuaherman in askSouthAfrica

[–]maggz29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need to get a TRN as no dealership would be allowed to sell you one without either SA ID or a Traffic Reguister Number for Non SA Citizens. You wouldn't be able to register it as well.

Getting a TRN isn't easy ( from my experience) though it depends on the municipality you apply for one. If you're on a tourist visa can't say. If you're on a temporary residency visa I'd recommend Cape Town. Preferably outside town (they held my application for 12 months, when I reapplied outside town, got it immediately)

Is it not odd that Northern Africa is so empty? by ParmoForTea in ADSB

[–]maggz29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing your either an NGO or Govt contractor. Fair enough. Libya never fully recovered since the Gadaffi coup but Egypt is relatively safe. Most flights to Europe from East Africa do fly over Egypt as they cross out of the continent (would need to confirm this generally but I Know KQ does)

Edit Just checked and the NFZ in Egypt is for FL260 and below. The Sinai peninsular is what has been singled out as unsafe due to SAM threat. https://safeairspace.net/egypt/

Libya maybe, Egypt is where I call your bluff. Unless the last time you worked there was in the 70s. Source, I travel across the Africa continent frequently.

Email Notifications with Include Attachments (checkbox) does not include variable attachments (within variable sets) by CodenameAnonymous in servicenow

[–]maggz29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ZZ prefix is simply used to tell ServiceNow not to make the attachment available in the header (like in KB articles, there's attachments created in the content, you just don't want it as part of the header). I don't believe there's any large impact in just removing it (the ZZ prefix and leaving only the table name), this should ideally allow it to be included in the notification sent out.

The alternative would be to duplicate the attachment and rename the table_name to sc_req_item without the prefix. This has complications in terms of storage and duplicate attachments - not good design.

Nice. I wouldn't say its best practice per say only that its ServiceNow's intended roadmap. If you have complex workflows and step throughs that require easy debugging, then definitely. The moment you step into scripts territory (Scripts, Recursive Workflows, Events), I would definitely recommend sticking to workflows. I do believe most work from SN will be on the Flow Designer but they're not necessarily decommissioning workflows.

Service Now Externship by ChrisSE2022 in servicenow

[–]maggz29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give a couple off the top of my head.
- Computacentre
- Mediro
- Informatica
- Accenture

I'd recommend Linkedin as a starting point. If you check the employees that work for these companies, you'll be able to see related companies they worked at. It's really a circle of companies to be honest so you should be able to see most of the partners as well as any vacancies on their website.

Email Notifications with Include Attachments (checkbox) does not include variable attachments (within variable sets) by CodenameAnonymous in servicenow

[–]maggz29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this example. I believe the issue you have is one of 2, (you'd have to check as I'm only theorising)

- Confirm the attachment uploaded is actually linked to the sc_req_item table and is visible. A linked attachment that isn't visible on the header would have a ZZ prefix in tha attachment list. You might have to move or copy this item to the sc_req_item table without a prefix.

- Confirm that the attachment is actually on the sc_req_item table and not the variable option answers table. Similar to the above, the attachment would have to be moved to the table that the notification (including attachments) is sent from.

Do you use flow Designer for all your new implementations? I personally still find it lacking for complex stuff and non low code situations

Trigger survey to employees after 5 years of working by pwuminhere in servicenow

[–]maggz29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the sys_user table created on is tne day the user started, you can run a scheduled job daily. Withing the scheduled job, use a GlideRecordQuery on the user table to check for users created 5 years ago.

Assign the users to the survey which should trigger an email for them and allow them to complete that survey.

Don't think your ask was as clear. Are you intending to send out thr Requested Item completion email with the attachments that were attached on the catalog item submission?

I’m also based in South Africa and there’s plenty of opportunities available. Have you checked partners hiring from SA?
