The ServiceNow Live Connect enables you to access your ServiceNow instance data through ODBC and JDBC drivers. Using SQL API, you can directly access your instance data from third-party BI tools and other data analysis applications without exporting or replicating your data.

Activation information
Live Connect is a ServiceNow feature that is available with the activation of Live Connect plugin (com.glide.rest.sqlapiserver). The ServiceNow instance requires RaptorDB Pro entitlement to activate the SQL API server-side plugin. The SQL API drivers are freely available for download by anyone with a valid account to the ServiceNow Store. However, the SQL API client would not be able to connect to the ServiceNow instance until the server-side plugin is enabled. For more information, see Install Live Connect on your ServiceNow instance.
Important: Live Connect is available in the ServiceNow Store. For details, see the “Activation information” section of these release notes.
