Hi Bhim,

For eg, if you want to export template named 'abc' , go to all the tables below and find the record having template name as 'abc' and export them as well.

1. export from std_change_record_producer

2. export from sys_template

3. export from std_change_producer_version

4. export from sc_cat_item_category

5. export from std_change_proposal

Mark correct if my answer has solved your issue and or helpful if my response is worthy.

Thanks,

Ruhi.

Hello Bhim,

Lets say you have excel file of template A  and you want to import that excel file data in tenplate B then simply 

1.Go to template table (list view)

2.Right click on any colounm

3.Configure

4.Import

5.You will see a option of importing file.

6chosse you excel file and import it.

 

But It is a long process and also put load on instance.Better to go on Standard change template table

From its list right click on any colounm select Export >>XML.

It will download one file in XML form.

Go to Another instance 

Open same standard change template table.

Right click on colounm ,click on Import XML.

Select file and save it.

Pleaee try the suggested way and provide your input.

Regards

Yash Agrawal

How to migrate standard change templates across ServiceNow instances

  • Export data from all these tables against your templates:
    • std_change_template
    • std_change_record_producer (where Template is your std_change_template)
    • std_change_proposal (where Template is your std_change_template)
    • sc_cat_item_catalog (where Catalog Item is Standard Change Record Producer)
    • sc_cat_item_category (where Catalog Item is Standard Change Record Producer)
    • std_change_producer_version (where template Standard Change Record Producer)
  • You'll get access denied issue on std_change_template and std_change_record_producer so navigate to create ACL for these tables and check admin override true temporarily
  • Import the xmls to all these tables
  • Verify the change templates
  • Revert the ACLs
