This post comes in response to a request I received from some of my colleagues at ServiceNow to be able to export a catalog item definition to XML and transport it between instances. I've written before about how you can quckly export and import data between ServiceNow instances using the XML export/import context menus. While this works great for a lot of situations, it doesn't work so great for data that resides in multiple tables, but really makes sense to be exported as a single unit. The components that make up a Catalog item definition are actually stored in over 21 separate tables! It is possible to export a catalog item but you have to do at least 21 separate exports to do it. In this post, I'll show you how you can set up a UI action to export information from all 21+ tables that make up a catalog item definition...in one click!
