Are Scheduled jobs captured by update sets?

Hi Soni,

Good Day

Scheduled Jobs are not considered as customizations (based on the absence of the "update_synch" attribute on the table), and they are not captured in update sets.

Basically, you need to modify the Dictionary entries for each table with the update_synch attribute.

System Update Sets - ServiceNow Wiki

Update set record is a point in time XML snapshot of the record. an update set works by writing changes to the customer update table(sys_update_xml). whatever you do customize on your application or on instance that will be capture in update set , record will not be capture in update set.

Please check the screenshot below for your reference,

Please mark it as Helpful/Like/Correct based on the impact.

Thanks,

They don't, but there's a great share app that adds a UI Action you can use to manually push a job to an update set.

That link just takes me directly to the share site and not he app in question. What is it called in case that happens to anyone else?

Ughh, sometimes share drives me nuts. It's called Add to Update Set Utility published by Ben Hollifield.

Ditto and not sure how I missed that one on Share but I'm adding it now. Thanks for posting it

Hi Brad,
Great suggestion, app relevant to this day, however DELETE scenarios are still painful.

Use case: Scheduled Job is no longer needed and we want to transfer DELETE via update sets instead of manually fixing it afterwards in each environment.
