Copy update set, keep only the records under my name

lightblu · ‎07-22-2016

Hi,

The issue I am having is that all my changes, as well as everyone else's changes, are captured in the "Default - Global" update set. This update set is huge, with thousands of updates. How do I clone the "Default - Global" update set and then only export/keep only the actions/records in the update set which were performed by me?

Also, how do I export an update set as XML? When I right click and export --> XML, it only exports the update set record, not all the things which were part of the update set.

My end goal is to export the Default - Global update set as an XML backup, but only the update entries which were performed by me.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Lightblu,

You can do that. It's pretty much the same process. Use the update set list (sys_update_xml) to sort, filter, etc. and then list edit your way to set the Update Set field to what ever update set you want.

Personally, I like to create a new update set and put them there away from everything else so I know exactly what I'm getting. It's up to you.

I created a Utility called "Copy Update Set" for this purpose.
