What does not capture in Update Sets

[anvitha ash]

Hi,

1. As per ServiceNow Data Changes are not captured in Update Sets. My confusion is what are Data Changes ? and can someone please provide me with example. 

2. Will Simple, Advanced, Dynamic reference qualifiers capture in update sets?

3. Will Dictionary Override capture in update sets.

Please help me through this🙏

Thanks in advance😊

Hi Everyone,

Other than data changes, scheduled jobs too are generally not captured in update sets. But you can use the "Add to Update Set" utility. It allows you to add items to update sets that normally wouldn't get added.

Are newly created groups captured in update sets or not ?

Because:  I Created update set and made it current update set.. while it was in work in progress, I created the new groups. After that I changed  the update set statue to complete, but the created groups not captured in update set.

@VyshnaviA  groups are not capture in the update set. you can user the utility that is "add to update set" .

Also you can used the below script;

var rec = new GlideRecord('TABLE_NAME'); // passed your group table
rec.get('SYS_ID_TO_PUSH'); // sys id of group record
var um = new GlideUpdateManager2();// this remains as it is
um.saveRecord(rec);

This script you need to run at the background and before executing this script make your update set as current so the group record will capture in your current update set,

Hi @VyshnaviA 

If this is for one group, you can export the xml and import it on the target instance. That's the easiest way.
