Instance Data Replication

Instance data replication in ServiceNow is a mechanism that allows for the copying of data updates from one ServiceNow instance to one or more other instances. This process can be one-directional or bi-directional, ensuring that data is consistently synchronized across multiple instances. Instance Data Replication (IDR) is ServiceNow’s native approach, which allows for partial or complete data replication. It supports use cases such as data migration, synchronization, and disaster recovery, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to consistent and up-to-date data. However, IDR has limitations, such as the need for manual configuration and potential performance impacts when replicating large data volumes.
