custom application and updatesets

[CV1]

Hello Everyone,

We have a custom application "App N" . when changes are made we publish the application via studio and install the app ver in production.

we have "App N ver" 1.0.6. installed in prod  after that other developers created updatesets and these were deployed as part of the application scope "App N ". 

• What can be done to have a new version of App N with all the changes deployed as update sets  together as a new version.
• The application "App N" has various flows with endpoints (diff for prod and dev) .when we are going he route of publishing application how should the diff endpoints (Dev/Prod) be handled. Currently updatesets are created with prod endpoint on dev and deployed to Prod then immediately the endpoint is changed on dev .

Please advise.

TIA

Hi @CV1 

Deploying applications via Update Set is not a recommended practice. Instead, you could publish the application to application repository and install it on your prod instance through that. Refer https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/build/applications/task/t_Publ...

Also, the information like endpoints which is configurable should be set to one or more system properties which could be tweaked as per the environment (Dev or Prod) and referred inside the flows.

Thanks & Regards
