Found a local update that is newer than this one

[Mark Wood]

Hello experts,

I encountered an error message while previewing the update set. I'm seeking to accept a remote update, but unfortunately, it's inaccessible. I've attached a screenshot for reference. Could you please provide guidance?

Thank You.

Hi @Mark Wood,

You can re-preview that update set, if still showing the same  "Available Action" options then compare with local and skip remote update, and manage the update via other updated on top of current version.

The best solution is to

- export to XML the records that are newer from the instance where you try to commit.

- Import those exported XML files in the source instance

- Re-apply the changes and capture those into a new update set.

- Close this new update set, retrieve is in the target instance.

- In the target instance make the original update set the parent of the newly created extra update set - this is called batching.

- Preview and you should now be left with just one problem.

To solve that problem, you would need to

- create a new update set in the source instance

- move the missing update into this new update set - this means finding the update record and updating its Update set field. You should find the update by looking in table sys_update_xml (Customer Update) for a record where field Update name is the same as what is blanked out in the image in column Remote update.

- after that the same story: complete the update, retrieve, set its Parent to the 1st Update set, preview and there should be no more errors.
