We recommend customers using outbound OAuth use this scheduled job script to ensure outbound OAuth connections remain alive, as explained in this KB Article from ServiceNow.
Without this job, the refresh token will eventually expire which means ServiceNow will no longer be able to retrieve an access token. This in turn will cause outbound requests to fail.
If your OAuth service is including refresh tokens with each access token request, this job may not be required.
This script has been reformatted from the KB Article for ease of use.
