What Are Workflow Data Fabric Usage Credits, and Do MID Server Transactions Count Against Them?Summary<!-- /*NS Branding Styles*/ --> .ns-kb-css-body-editor-container { p { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--text-primary, #000000); } span { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--text-primary, #000000); } h2 { font-size: 24pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--text-primary, black); } h3 { font-size: 18pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--text-primary, black); } h4 { font-size: 14pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--text-primary, black); } a { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: var(--now-color--link-primary, #00718F); } a:hover { font-size: 12pt; color: var(--now-color--link-primary, #024F69); } a:target { font-size: 12pt; color: var(--now-color--link-primary, #032D42); } a:visited { font-size: 12pt; color: var(--now-color--link-primary, #00718f); } ul { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; } li { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; } img { display: ; max-width: ; width: ; height: ; } } Workflow Data Fabric (WDF) usage is metered using Data Fabric Credits — an annual burn-down balance that decrements as qualifying actions are performed on your instance. Different product actions within the WDF umbrella (Integration Hub transactions, RPA bot executions, Document Intelligence processing, etc.) each consume credits at defined ratios per the Data Fabric Credit Overview in your contract. What Counts as an Integration Hub Transaction? The Integration Hub transaction is the most common WDF credit consumer in integration-heavy environments. Per the official Integration Hub and Workflow Data Fabric Overview addendum, a transaction is defined as: Any outbound call originating from Integration Hub, Flow Designer, Remote Tables, and/or Orchestration — including any operation, action, or orchestration resulting in an outbound call from those surfaces. Do MID Server Transactions Count? The MID Server is a transport mechanism, not a billing unit. Whether a MID Server-involved call consumes WDF credits depends entirely on what initiated the call, not the fact that a MID Server was used. ScenarioCounts Against WDF Credits?Flow Designer step using a MID Server connection (SSH, PowerShell, SFTP, JDBC)YES — the step originates from Flow Designer/IHClassic Orchestration activity executed via MID ServerYES — Orchestration is explicitly included in the IH transaction definitionRESTMessageV2 call outside of Flow Designer (even if routed via MID)NO — legacy web service calls outside Flow Designer are excludedDiscovery probes / ECC queue interactions (ITOM/Discovery)NO — Discovery is a separate product subscription, not billed under WDFRemote Instance Spoke transactionsNO — explicitly excluded from transaction entitlement Key Takeaways If your MID Server is being invoked by a Flow Designer step or an Orchestration activity, those executions count as IH transactions and will draw down your WDF credit balance.If your MID Server is running Discovery probes, handling ECC queue operations for ITOM, or being called by legacy scripted REST outside of Flow Designer, those do not count.When in doubt about a specific integration pattern, review your Data Fabric Credit Overview schedule (referenced in your contract) or engage your ServiceNow account team for written confirmation before deploying at scale.
