URGENT - Move independent views from DEV to PROD via xml???

[veena_kvkk88]

Hello all!!

We moved update sets from dev to prod. Something went wrong and 2 of the views of a particular custom table don't reflect the dev instance. They are working perfectly in the Dev and that's the only issue, so we thought of migrating them to Prod independently using xml export and import.

This is what I did:

I exported the two view records (from UI views table) as xml.

I went to the prod instance, opened the Views table and clicked 'Import xml' from the header menu. And chose these two xml files and uploaded.

But there's no change in the views in Prod. What am I doing wrong? Is this not how it's supposed to be done? Please help!

It didn't work Chuck. I figured out what the problem. The sys_id for one of the views is different from dev. Don't know how that happened. May be someone deleted it and recreated. But fixed now. Although there's something I wanted to ask.

When I was trying to fix it, I gave this process a try: I created an update set, made a simple change to the form layout and moved it to prod, in the hopes that change would capture the whole view and everything and bring it to Prod and I'd be able to accept the layout it brings if there's a collision. But that didn't happen. (This is for the view that has the correct sys_id) Am I wrong to presume that?

What does the xml in your update set look like?

[veena_kvkk88]

It's pretty big. I see info about view as well and a whole lot of text.

Can you share what the update set contents look like. It's a bit difficult to answer your question with only vague descriptions.
