service mapping update sets

What is best practice for ServiceMapping and update sets?   Not all things are contained by update sets for ServiceMapping.   Can some items be migrated via XML or will that cause more problem?   Is recreating Business Service and Entry Point manually needed when moving from dev to test to prod instance?

Thanks

Hi Porthos,



Patterns, Identifiers, Property changes and CMDB changes should be moved through update sets.



Business Services and their respective entry points should be managed through a deployment plan and entered manually at each environment.



Thanks,

Thanks very much.   This will increase time for migration of large Business Service with many entry points.   I will plan for this, thank you again.

If possible, you'll not want to recreate in another instance, but instead export to XML and import into the other instance. You'll want to retain the sys_ids between the two instances. Exporting to XML is fine for items that won't go into an update set.
