How to compare update sets in local and remote instance

[Nitesh Chandana]

Hello,

    I have two remote instances dev123,   dev789. First i loaded and committed updates on dev123 which contains 100 update sets   Then, i need to commit update sets on dev789 which contains 125 update sets.If i loaded update sets in my local instances. I need to load updates 25 only. But instead, it loaded and previewed as 125 update sets. Is there any filter to display only 25 update sets which is in dev789??

Thanks,

Nitesh

Hey Nitesh,

If you are using Jakarta, we have great future like Parent   & Child Relation in update sets.

Update set batching:

Batch update sets enable you to group update sets together so you can preview and commit them in bulk.

Dealing with multiple update sets can lead to problems, including committing update sets in the wrong order or inadvertently leaving out one or more sets. To avoid these problems, you can group completed update sets into a batch.

You can organize a batch into a hierarchy. One update set can act as the parent for multiple child update sets. A given set can be both a child and parent, enabling multiple-level hierarchies. The update set at the top level of the hierarchy is called the base update set.

With batch update sets, you can preview and commit multiple update sets at one time. The system determines the processing order and checks for collisions based on "ancestry" and date comparisons.

Create a batch update set

You include an update set in a batch by specifying another update set as its parent.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

An update set must be complete before you can include it in a batch as either a parent or a child.

Procedure

1. Navigate to System Update Sets > Local Update Sets.
2. Select the record for an update set that you want to include as a child in the batch.
3. On the Update Set record, navigate to the Parent field and select the update set to act as the parent.
4. Click Update.The system returns to the list of Update Sets. If the Parent column is visible, it shows the parent for the newly-created child.

Retrieve batched update sets

You retrieve a batch of update sets using the same process you would as for any individual update set.

Before you beginRole required: admin
ProcedureTo retrieve a batch of update sets, follow the same process for the batch base as you would for any individual update set. The system will process the entire batch at once. For details, see Retrieve an update set.

Preview a batch of update sets

You can preview at once all the update sets belonging to a batch.

Before you beginRole required: adminYou must have retrieved the update sets from the source instance.
Procedure

1. Navigate to System Update Sets > Retrieved Update Sets
2. From the list of retrieved update sets, select the batch base for the batch you want to preview.You cannot separately preview an update set that is a child in a batch. You must preview the entire batch by previewing the batch base. If necessary, you can remove the child update setfrom the batch by editing its record's parent field.
3. Click Preview Update Set Batch.
4. If the system found problems, click the Preview Problems for Batch and resolve the problems as you normally would for any update set. When you have resolved all the problems, click Run Preview Again for Batch.

Commit a batch of update sets

You can commit at once all the update sets belonging to a batch.

Before you beginRole required: adminBefore committing, you must have previewed the update sets from the source instance and resolved any collisions.
Procedure

1. Navigate to System Update Sets > Retrieved Update Sets
2. From the list of retrieved update sets, select the batch base for the batch you want to preview.You cannot separately commit an update set that is a child in a bach. You must commit the entire batch by committing the batch base. If necessary, you can remove the child update set from the batch by editing its record's parent field.
3. Click Commit All Update Sets.

Reorganize a batch of update sets

You can remove an individual update set from the batch or change its parent.

Before you beginRole required: admin
Procedure

1. Navigate to System Update Sets > Local Update Sets.
2. Select the record for an update set that you want to move or remove as a child in the batch.
3. On the update set record, navigate to the Parent field and select the new update set to act as the parent. To remove the update set from the batch, delete any text from the Parent field and leave it blank.
4. Click Update.The system returns to the list of update sets. If the Batch Base column is visible, it shows the parent for the newly-created child.

What to do next

If the system property glide.update_set.auto_preview is set to true, the system automatically starts the preview process after the record is updated with a new parent. If this property is false, you must start the process manually. For more information on the preview process, see Preview a batch of update sets .

[Nitesh Chandana]

hello rajesh,

  thanks for response and sorry for late reply. I didn't update parent field on first instance which mentioned as 100 update sets at committed stage. How can i update parent fields for all those 100 update sets which is complicated..

Might be helpful to you.

Before preview/Commiting the update set,you can select parent Update set in your QA/Test Environment, follow below screen shot.
