Batch Update - Plugins

Alistair Brice

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to batch updating plugins in ServiceNow. I've been a part of a couple upgrades now and updating all the plugins (~150 at this stage) is a huge pain point as it takes a few hours per instance. I've seen some posts suggesting CI/CD APIs or CI/CD Flows, I'm wanting to know if I may be overcomplicating the situation or if there's any additional reading I could do before choosing a path to go down. If anyone has some advice I'd really appreciate it.

Did you pull the one off of Share site that was referenced in Mark's article https://www.servicenow.com/community/servicenow-store-releases/finding-newer-store-application-versi...

they are different between the two flows. The share is creating a Story, the other in this post its creating a installation schedule. 

Maybe I didn't spend enough time on this (just quickly tried to get it running in my PDI), but I've got the same challenge. What's the solution for this scope access issue?
