How to transfer Standard Change Template from one instance to another

Hi community,

Can anyone share with me on the procedures on how to import existing Standard Change Template from one instance to another? I want the existing Standard Change Template to be able to be selected from the Service Catalog.


Initially, I thought the Update Set will be able to migrate this together but apparently, I found some error about not able to find Standard Change Proposal Version record.

Therefore, if I were to do this manually via XML Export and Import, what are tables that I should be exporting/importing to make sure everything falls in place since I understand that, Standard Change Template created from record producer has workflows created?

Thank you.

How to migrate standard change templates across ServiceNow instances

  • Export data from all these tables against your templates:
    • std_change_template
    • std_change_record_producer (where Template is your std_change_template)
    • std_change_proposal (where Template is your std_change_template)
    • sc_cat_item_catalog (where Catalog Item is Standard Change Record Producer)
    • sc_cat_item_category (where Catalog Item is Standard Change Record Producer)
    • std_change_producer_version (where template Standard Change Record Producer)
  • You'll get access denied issue on std_change_template and std_change_record_producer so navigate to create ACL for these tables and check admin override true temporarily
  • Import the xmls to all these tables
  • Verify the change templates
  • Revert the ACLs
