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.

So changing the update_synch attribute will allow it to be captured, but does the importing system have to have that attribute set on the same table for it to apply from the update set as well?

More often than not we use scheduled jobs like time-based Business Rules. That they aren't captured in Update sets by default baffles me. But then again, take assessment responses, these are records that are linked to actual data (like changes for example) and are captured for some strange reason.
