skipped records during upgrade

[David Christian]

We just upgraded to Kingston.  Normally we have thousands of skipped records to review (We've done two other upgrades).  This time we have less than a thousand.  We have about one tenth of what we have had each time in the past.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Am I missing something as to why it is so different this time?

To be clear, I thought that you would have to review the records each time you did an upgrade.  I didn't think the number of skipped records would go down, assuming you didn't revert any to OOB with the last upgrade.

Hi David,

Starting in Jakarta, there's a new related list in the Upgrade History that allows you to see what skipped changes need reviewing. It's called "Skipped changes to review".

You can use the list filter to take out Priority 5, for example and get a much smaller list of things to review that really matter. I.e. it skips sys_documentation records which include things like field label changes. Not critical for testing and review, right?

This is great information and will help greatly.  If I review a record and skip it (keep my customization) will i need to review and skip the record on the next upgrade as well?

Depends what choice you make with the record. If you choose to revert to the OOB functionality of the skipped record, then no. You won't need to review it in the future. If you choose to keep your customizations, then yes - it will be flagged as skipped in the future.
