`glide.soap.import_set_insert_serialized`

Serializes simultaneous web service inserts into import sets to keep transforms accurate. The default is true, which processes inserts one at a time across nodes; setting it to false can improve speed but risks duplicate target records when coalesce values overlap.

Default: true
Type: boolean
Application: Not stated
Category: Import, Export & Data Management

Key questions about this property

The answers below summarize the purpose, scope, default effect, and review scenarios for this property.

What does it do?	When true, processes simultaneous web service inserts into an import set table one at a time across nodes; when false, transforms run simultaneously and can create duplicate target records if coalesce values overlap.
What area does it affect?	SOAP web service imports
What does the default mean?	The default value is "true", which means this behavior is enabled by default.
When should you review it?	Review when tuning import performance or changing transform maps that use coalesce values.

Property record

Facts stated in the ServiceNow documentation. No out of the box record has been read from an instance yet.

Property name	`glide.soap.import_set_insert_serialized`
Type	boolean
Application	Not stated
Default value	`true`
Description	Controls the processing of web service inserts. If true, the instance processes multiple simultaneous inserts one at a time (serially across nodes) to ensure an accurate transform. Serialized processing slows the speed at which the instance processes inserts. If false, multiple simultaneous inserts into an import set table result in simultaneous transforms that may produce duplicate target records due to the coalesce value being created at the same time. Note: Set this value to false only to optimize performance when the related transform map does not have a coalesce value that may be present simultaneously.
