Hello @Harika Ravuri ,

There is no way to update the sys_id of existing records, and its not best practice as well. 

Can you please explain what are you trying to do updating the sys_id of records?

Kindly mark the answer ✔️Correct or Helpful ✔️If it addresses your concern.

@Harika Ravuri : It's not possible to update sys_ids. It might lead to the corruption of records, which is not at all advisable.

Please mark this as correct answer and helpful if it resolved, or mark this helpful if this help you to reach towards solution.

Why do you want to do this?

[Harika Ravuri]

We are migrating the data of one instance to other, there are multiple duplicate records which we don't want to recreate and have the same sys_id's as old system for some integration and other scripts.
