Capturing appplication and related files/tables from Guided Appplication Creator/Studio

[Chris Dea1]

Hi All,

I am working with a developer to give him access to create new applications using Guided Application Creator/Studio in our sub-pro instance.  This is the first time we've given a developer access to create apps on our system and I am not clear on what the process would be to move the application and related files/tables created to production.

From what I have read in the documentation, as an admin I can "publish" any new application either to "My Application Repository" related link, or use the "Publish to Update Set" related link when viewing an application record from Application Manager.  My question is, let's say the developer creates a scoped app along with a new flow and a new table -- is everything (the application, any new flows, new tables for the application) all captured when I publish an application with either option?  Does the publish process change at all if the developer creates a new application in the global scope? 

This is new to me so please do share the steps to publish an application and related files and tables to prod (from sub-prod).  Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Here's a good place to start:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/build/app-engine-studio/concep...

there is a way to include table data in an Application, see:

https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0689588

And you can publish to Update set and then promote those to the other instances.

Thanks Bert_c1.  I forgot mention that that we are not licensed for App Engine Studio (AES) at this time and our current version is San Diego.  Basically we only have access to Guided Application Creator / Studio... Also, I should clarify that I am not really worried about any sample data or test date being carried over from sub-prod when migrating a new application to production. Sorry I my question was worded in a confusing way :)!  Basically let's say the developer makes a new application in Guided Application Creator/Studio and makes a new application with a new table and new flow in a scoped application...will the "Publish to Update Set" capture everything?

Thanks,

Chris

The publish to update set is a supported feature, and it will capture "everything" that is in that application.  Data is included if the KB is followed, and the link on that KB is followed. If not, then create a Support Case so a Support Engineer can review.

Thanks Bert_c1. I appreciate the confirmation of what I was guessing :).  The info on this did not really mention what was captured but I guess it was implied that everything related to the application (tables, flows, etc.) are captured.
