Scoped App Migration

OscarZ
Tera Expert

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a scoped app where I need to create a couple of tables and use them to build a workspace that will contain some charts and lists.
My question is about migrating this scoped app to another instance. In my case, the preferred method is using update sets, and I would like to ask the community if there are any issues with implementing the migration this way or if there is a specific procedure to follow.
Anyone have experience with this?

Hi @OscarZ ,

 

1. If it's your company instance you can publish it to application repository and install the same in target instance

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-application-development/page/build/applications/task...

 

2. If it's PDI you can Link it to source control and commit the changes and pull them from target https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/learning-plans/xanadu/new_to_servicenow/app_store_le...

 

 

3. Or you can use the update set approach

Hi @OscarZ,

 

To publish your scope app to xml file, open your scope app in sys_app table (you can also directly open it through the application at the right top of your instance), and scroll down to find this link.
