Check in your other instance whether all the changes of child is also there

basically concept of Batching is creating a parent update set and make all the other update sets as childs.

i recommend you to try this with your personal instance first

Mark answer as correct and helpful if it helped you..!!

Batching update sets : 

• You can remove an individual update set from the batch or change its parent.
• You can back out any child update set independently.

batching gives the flexibility. After batching for some reason if you want to move them independently you can achieve that easily which is not possible with Merging.

Since ServiceNow released Update Set batching, I've not merged an Update Set.

Merging puts all updates in one update set, so only one needs to be committed, and is irreversible.

Batching puts all updates into an update set tree, so only one needs to be committed, and is reversible. 

A good use case is for deploying releases with multiple enhancements. Create an empty parent Update Set and relate all enhancements.

If an enhancement gets pulled at the last moment, you simply change the parent to blank, rather than the whole 'merged' update set needing to be postponed.
