How to check for updates to tables that are not recorded in the Update Set

[Ohki_Yamamoto]

ServiceNow recognizes that there are two types of TBLs: TBLs whose updates are recorded in the Update Set for each TBL, and TBLs whose updates are not recorded in the Update Set.

Whether or not an update is recorded in the Update Set can be determined by whether or not there is an UpdateSynch=true record in the Attribute of the sys_dictionary table. (If there is a record with UpdateSynch=true, it is recorded in the Update Set.)

Currently, we would like to mechanically check if a record has not been updated for a TBL that is not recorded in the update set. Is there such a function in ServiceNow's OOTB feature?

It is possible to implement a script to identify the target TBL and check for record updates, but we would like to see if there is a simpler way to do this.

@Ohki_Yamamoto neither the category nor the KB Articles are captured in the PDI, OOTB doesn't allow these table's records to be captured in the Update set.

While migrating data as XML from one instance to another there is no checks available OOTB, even if the referenced record is not available the system will import the data but display a blank value for the reference field.

Please mark the appropriate response as correct answer and helpful.
