Preserve In Progress Update Sets

[Henrik Jutterst]

In Orlando/Paris, when you schedule a clone and have the ability to "Preserve In Progress Update Sets" there is an option of 'None' and 'Last 90 days'. But is the 90 days based on when the update set was created or when it was last updated?

I just need to get this question out here because I can't find the answer anywhere...

Hi Hendrik,

I'm reading the docs explanation so that it preserves all update sets that are / have been in progress during the latest 90 days. This would be all that are "In progress" at the time of the clone as well as the ones updated (to state complete) in the last 90 days.

Preserve In Progress Update Sets
Preserves update sets during the clone process. This option eliminates the need to export in-progress, global update sets before you initiate a clone. The default is none. You can select the latest 90 days to preserve the in-progress update sets during this time.
Note: Review and commit the update sets after the clone.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa and thanks for the post on my question. From my perspective this wasn't really clear, but my assumption was that it would be based on the [sys_updated_on] field. That would be the best and most logical way. But as I said, since I couldn't find it in clear text I had to ask.

Thanks for the help! It might be good to clear this out on docs-site.

Kind regards

I think this is not correct. I have just opened a case in Hi, and they say:

"1. Please be informed that the 90 day is based on the created date/time of the update set. "
