Hi @VenkataRamN
Update sets in ServiceNow capture configuration changes, not data. Specifically, they include:
- Business rules, client scripts, UI policies/actions, script includes, ACLs, data policies
- Dictionary entries, form/layout changes, sys_properties, app module menu configuration
- Workflow Studio content scoped within your app
- Service catalog item definitions and related configuration data (like variables and variable choices)
- Customizations to application tables, fields, and records where the table has an update_synch attribute or a special handler (e.g., workflows, form sections, lists, related lists, choice lists, system dictionary entries, field labels)
Update sets do not capture:
- Data records (e.g., Incidents, CMDB records, Tasks, order requests)
- Users, groups, roles
- Attachments, images, some binary assets
- MID Server configs, external integrations' runtime states
- Some store-installed app content managed by App Repo or plugins
- Plugin activation, transfer of tables not tracked in update sets, or creation of database indexes
