Flow Designer updates not captured by an update set

Bryan12 — Tue, 28 May 2019 04:32:42 GMT

Hi Guys - Need your expertise on this.

I have created subflow on the Flow Designer on our DEV instance and it does not captured by my update set. When I checked QA instance, I got blank updates. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Bryan

Hello Bryan,

Changes made to a workflow version are not added to the update set until the workflow is published, at which point the entire workflow is added into the update set. Update sets store workflows as a single Workflow [wf_workflow] record and only retain the latest version with the update type of Workflow. Make sure your workflow is published

Kindly go through the below link

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-servicenow-platform/page/administer/workflow-administration/concept/c_WorkflowMovementWithUpdateSets.html

If my answer solves your problem kindly mark it as correct or mark helpful if it helps you anyway

Thanks,

Priti

Hey,

It gets captured in Update set something like this:-

I would suggest you check if you changed the state of Update set to "Completed" and then moved the Set.

I'm using the FLOW DESIGNER Subflow not the Workflow used in Service Catalog. Do you have any idea?

It doesn't show on my update set. I created and published a workflow and nothing is happened.

Republish the flow, make sure that the sys_update_xml's generated for trigger_instances and action_instances have "sys_element_mapping" or "sys_variable_value" pieces in them and then move them over.

Hi Bryan,

When you create an action or flow it will ask what application you want to use. I had an issue where I wanted to use Microsoft AD but had clicked Global so although in a Microsoft update set, all my updates went into the Global scope.

Check what application the action/flow was created in (it will tell you if you click properties) then have a look in the default update set of that application.

Hope this fixes your issue.

Please check if you're in one application scope and the updates got captured in another application scope.

"sys_update_xml" table should help.
