System Clone release notes
The ServiceNow® System Clone application enables you to copy everything in a database from one instance to another, such as copying a production instance to a pre-production instance.
System Clone highlights for the Washington DC release
- Copy your production instance into a pre-production instance to test changes before going live with them.
- Schedule clones to occur automatically at a set frequency to help keep instances stay synchronized.
- Use exclude tables and data preservers to confirm that your clone contains only the tables and data that you want.
See System clone for more information.
