Event Rule

[Rakshanda Kunte]

Hi,

Does Event rule captures in an update set?

Thanks..!!

[Mark Manders]

No, they aren't. You can check this by just updating an event rule and validating your current update set.

No, the em_match_rule table (which stores Event Management Match Rules in ServiceNow) does not get captured in an update set by default. This is because Event Management Match Rules are considered as operational data rather than configuration data.

However, if you need to migrate these rules between instances, you can manually export them via XML.

Even manul export will exclude all regex portion of even rules transform event phase, any way to export along with them?

Hey,

just stumbled upon this and i was baffled by the answers here - so i retested, but:

The em_match_rule extends the Application File table and with that is indeed tracked in US.

BUT: Not all changes done to a rule in the designer are stored in the em_match_rule table (but rather a background object table). Since other people came to different conclusions, i will state this as "down to how i do it and what has worked for me":

IF you create event rules in update sets & update them while being in an update set, they will get tracked in an update set and you can in fact move them via update set.

Regards

Fabian

Note: Those other tables are "Event compose field" and "Event match field" which is also why "just" exporting the event rule won't work. THIS WAS CHANGED IN A PAST RELEASE, so others here are not wrong, the answer is likely just outdated.
