Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Information * Before upgrading to Australia, complete the specified pre- and post-upgrade tasks. * For upgrades from Xanadu and Yokohama, a data management policy record is automatically created for tables configured with archive or table cleaner rules. * After upgrading to Yokohama on self-hosted instances, if table size data appears outdated, you can enable accurate statistics by setting the `com.glide.stats.storagediskusage.informationschema` system property to true. ## New Features * **Xanadu:** Introduced holistic data management policies for tables, support for multiple archive rules per table, improved table cleaner performance, and a usage dashboard to monitor storage consumption and top data-consuming tables. * **Yokohama:** Added the Data Management Console for direct storage consumption insights and data growth management, along with scalability improvements for the table cleaner. * **Zurich:** Enhanced the Data Management Console to monitor data usage at both table and logical table levels, track data growth contributors, and provide execution history and backlog summaries for data management rules. * **Australia:** Introduced a Data Management rules wizard to create and manage archive, cleanup, and one-time delete rules; enabled bulk restoration of archived records; added support for storing archive data and attachments in external object storage (exclusive to RaptorDB Professional V2); and introduced a granular admin role (`datamgmttoolsadmin`) to allow basic Data Management administration without full admin privileges. ## Changes * **Yokohama:** Data Management Console is now accessible via `All > System Data Management > Data Management Console`. * **Zurich:** Coral theme became the default for portals and mobile experiences, offering a refreshed look with brand-neutral illustrations and a dark theme option. * **Australia:** No changes recorded in this release. ## Deprecations * **Zurich:** Data Usage Visualization Console dashboard has been deprecated. Use the Data Management Console instead for monitoring data growth. * No deprecations occurred in other releases. ## Activation and Subscription Details * Data Management is an AI Platform feature active by default from Xanadu onward. * In Australia, both Data Management and system archiving are active by default. * Storing archive data in object storage requires installation of the Live Archive plugin, which needs a separate subscription. ## Accessibility and User Experience * The Coral theme introduced in Zurich includes a dark theme option designed to reduce eye strain and improve readability on web and mobile platforms. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Gain centralized control and visibility over data management rules and policies, simplifying compliance and data lifecycle management. * Efficiently manage storage consumption and automate data cleanup at scale, reducing system bloat and improving performance. * Leverage the Data Management Console for real-time monitoring and management of data growth, including detailed insights at the table and logical table levels. * Benefit from enhanced administrative controls that reduce the need for full admin access, supporting security best practices. * Improve archival storage efficiency and query performance by offloading archives to external object storage when using RaptorDB Professional V2.
