Paris Release
It is ServiceNow’s new release season! With the Paris release in Early Access, we will show some enhancements targeted around being more effective and efficient as a developer. To get access to these new things, you have to upgrade! This article will be about a new feature in IntegrationHub. To view the whole list, check out the release docs.
Connection Manager Dashboard
The connections dashboard is a new interface inside Flow Designer to manage connections.
I’ve got three more Flow Designer enhancements to make your lives a bit easier. They are:
Action instance ordering Ghost actions Duplicate action instance Action instance ordering The first is pretty straight forward. Prior to Paris, action numbering was “outline based”. Every time you added a new if, for each, or other action that created an indent level, a decimal was added on to your action numbers. While this may seem innocuous at first, it could make inline scripting challenging when referencing action 3.
Flow Designer received many new features and enhancements in the Paris release, and I’m going to focus on the intersection of Flow Designer and Service Catalog for this post. Flow Designer is an important component in automating the process behind Service Catalog requests, and every release brings a tighter integration and additional support for the catalog in Flow Designer.
Submit Catalog Item Request action The first enhancement is a new action that ships with Paris called Submit Catalog Item Request.

Run with Roles One new enablement is Run with Roles in the trigger settings for a flow.
Use Branches on Make a decision Flow Designer continues to improve in the Paris release. If you haven’t at least started exploring Flow Designer, or made the commitment to create your new business logic using Flow, we’ve got a couple more features in the Paris release to tempt you to take another look. Existing Flow advocates are going to love this too!
First, the Make a decision logic has been improved to include a simple checkbox labeled Use Branches.

Upgrade Center New in Paris is the Upgrade Center.
The Automated Test Framework received some incremental updates in the Paris release aimed at increasing test coverage and making testing a little easier for custom UIs.
Add Attachments to Form (SP) Test Step The first of our Paris ATF enhancements is fairly straightforward, but really helpful if you need to write an automated test for attaching a file to a record through the form widget in the Service Portal. This would work on a record producer, catalog item, or record form using the form widget.

Global Scoped Applications Support for Source Control You might be aware that scoped application development was enhanced in Orlando with the addition of:
Selective / Partial Commits Editing outside platform / Branching & Merging Automation for deployment from source control If you are unfamiliar with source control or wish to learn what ServiceNow resources are available, you can find them here.
The Script Debugger enables users with the script_debugger role to debug server-side JavaScript and should be your primary strategy for debugging Business Rules and other synchronous server-side scripts.
If you’re not yet familiar with the script debugger or need a review, the Server-side Scripting Module on the Developer site has a section on the script debugger updated for Paris you can work through.
New in Paris - The Console In the Paris release, a console has been added to the script debugger that allows developers to evaluate script expressions in real-time.
