Preserve In Progress Update Sets

Henrik Jutterst · ‎08-24-2020

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!

I read that one earlier but unfortunately it didn't answer my question.

Hi Henrik, you’re right. The documentation is not clear if the 90 days is from the moment the update set was created or the last time it was updated. To be safe, you can always “merge” your update sets into 1 or more new ones to make sure you don’t loose the 90 day mark. Thanks, Berny

Yeah.. Or just extract them and apply them after clone. But it seems like the value is based on [sys_updated_on] field. But it could be more clear i.m.o. 🙂

Still, this day, there's no real explanation on docs.

And as of today (when I am looking because I "lost" update sets after a Clone), looking at Docs, it does not specify in any way shape or form what the 90 days is based on (sauce).
