Explanation

ServiceNow best practice recommends planning time before an import to cleanse the source data - removing obsolete, duplicate, or inaccurate records (D). This prevents bad data from polluting the target tables and the CMDB. Adjusting transform maps after data is already loaded (A) is reactive and error-prone. Using extremely large single Import Sets (B) is discouraged because smaller, manageable sets are easier to troubleshoot and reprocess. Creating a new Import Set table for every data load (C) is unnecessary and creates table sprawl - reusing existing staging tables is preferred.
