I have two questions.
1) We want to move changes to test environment from dev on weekly basis, is there any automation available in servicenow to fulfil it apart from cloning or updatesets
2) what are all the deployment methods are available in servicenow ?
Many Thanks,
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
The first and important deployment method is to move all changes as part of update sets. This is recommended practice. And the ones which you cannot transfer through update sets, export to xml and import them.
Clone is mainly used to get data from prod to dev/stag and not vice-vera. It is not considered for deployment.
Also, refer to this link if you are using Team development

Thanks for your response.
Is there any automation possible to move configurations weekly once from prod to test?

Prod to test, please use the clone feature.
There is no other better way than this. You can exclude data during clone.

Hi,
Please follow this link for moving update set from dev to prod instance .
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-application-development/page/build/system-update-sets/reference/update-set-create-test-move-custom.html
After setting the update set to the completed state, you can export the update set to xml by clicking the link 'Export to XML' under Related Links. You can import this xml into any instance you want by navigating to 'Retrieved Update Sets' and be clicking 'Import Update Set from XML' and choosing the xml of the update set. After doing this you can see the record for the update set in the list view of 'Retrieved Update Sets'. Preview and Commit the update set.
Please mark as correct if it is helping to you because for same thread other also will benefited.
Thanks
Sanjay Bagri
