In what sequence batch update sets are previewed/committed

[Allen Andreas · Accepted solution]

Hello,

Batched update sets are previewed as a whole. So if you have 1 parent and 2 child update sets, the entire package is previewed together. For committing, the batch update set will look for the latest version of the record being touched across all update sets within the batch and determine their order accordingly.

More information here:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-application-development/page/build/system-update-sets/hier-...

Example:

When you preview or commit the base update set, you preview or commit the entire batch. The system determines the processing order, and checks for collisions, based on the dates the changes were recorded, and on their sequential ancestry. Their ancestries are the specific instances in which the changes in the update sets took place.

If you have any questions beyond just that, please let us know.
