What is captured in update set?

[rahulyamgar]

Hello friends, 

I would like to understand the basics of update set.

Even if BR is set to Active/Inactive or name/description update, does it capture an ENTIRE record or only changes are captured leaving other configs.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi there,

Yes even if only setting a Business Rule to active true/false, the full business rule is captured in the customer update associated with your update set.

You can also easily verify this yourself by doing such, opening the update set, viewing which customer updates are associated, opening the customer update, viewing the payload the customer update and you will notice every detail of the business rue will be there.

Hi @rahulyamgar 

An update set in ServiceNow is a group of customizations that can be moved from one instance to another. This includes changes to tables, fields, forms, and scripts, among other things.

Q. If BR is set to Active/Inactive or name/description update, does it capture an ENTIRE record or only changes are captured leaving other configs?

A. It captures Entire Business Rule record.

Regards,

Amit

Hi @rahulyamgar 

Check the below references:

What is captured in an update set? 

Update set not capturing changes 

Making a business rule active/inactive, updating short description or making any changes will capture it in update set. In the versions related list of that record, you will be able to see the latest version.
