Do new Group creation gets captured in an update set or not?

[HrishabhKumar]

I have to create a new Group, new Role and a user criteria. And I want to capture that in an update set, but somehow that is not working.

What I have done:

1) create an update set, make it current.

2) create a group in sys_user_group table.

But the creation is not captured in my update set.

Questions:

1) Are groups captured in an update set?

2) If yes, what am i doing wrong?

Hello @HrishabhKumar ,

Not by default, but there is a utility called Add to Update Set which would allow you to add any kind of record to an Update Set. If you do not want to install this 3rd party solution you would have to export the group as an XML file and import it on your other instance.

Hello @HrishabhKumar,

OOTB groups creation/modification is not captured on update sets. You would need to move those with XML from one instance to another.

What you can do also, to make use of "Add to update set Utility". Which would make available, a related link on each record to capture the records you want on update sets.

You can download the update set in the link provided above, and commit it on your instances to make use of that.

I hope this helps!

Hi @HrishabhKumar 

The update set captured the logic, not the data. Since the group is data here, it will not get captured in the update set.

But, new role creation is also data. Will it get captured? I think roles get captures, how?

Do you mean are you creating a role or assigning a role to a user?
