It highlights new features, important upgrade tasks, changes, deprecations, and UI updates that impact how customers manage data usage and policies across their instances. Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Information * **Pre- and post-upgrade tasks:** Review and complete necessary steps before upgrading to Zurich to ensure smooth transition. * **Data management policy records:** Automatically created for tables configured with archive or table cleaner rules prior to upgrading from Xanadu and Yokohama. * **Yokohama-specific note:** After upgrading a self-hosted instance, the `sysphysicaltablestats` table may not reflect recent data size correctly. Setting the system property `com.glide.stats.storagediskusage.informationschema` to true resolves this by enabling statsGatherer to use the information schema. ## Key Features Added Between Xanadu and Zurich * **Xanadu:** * Holistic view of data management policies per table. * Support for multiple archive rules on a single table through data management policies. * Improved performance for deleting older records using table cleaner. * Data Management usage dashboard to monitor storage consumption and top 10 data-consuming tables. * **Yokohama:** * Introduction of the Data Management Console for storage consumption overview and data growth management. * Enhanced table cleaner scalability for large-scale deletion of old or unwanted records. * **Zurich:** * Redesigned Data Management Console with: * Detailed data usage summaries at the instance and individual table levels. * Monitoring of associated tables storing attachments, audit records, and journal entries. * Support for logical tables such as Incident, Problem, and Change Request. * Identification of tables driving growth in related tables. * Rule summary views showing backlog counts and execution history of data management rules. ## Changes Affecting Customers * **Yokohama:** Access to Data Management Console via navigation path `All > System Data Management > Data Management Console`. * **Zurich:** Introduction of the Coral theme as the default for new portal, web, and mobile experiences with Next Experience or Core UI enabled, including a dark theme option to improve readability and reduce eye strain. ## Deprecations The Data Usage Visualization Console dashboard has been deprecated in Zurich. Customers should now use the Data Management Console to monitor data growth and usage. ## Activation and Default Settings Data Management remains a ServiceNow AI Platform feature that is active by default across Xanadu, Yokohama, and Zurich releases, requiring no additional activation steps. ## Accessibility and User Experience Enhancements The new Coral theme introduced in Zurich includes a dark mode option for web and mobile interfaces, enhancing accessibility by alleviating eye strain and improving readability. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Gain centralized, detailed visibility into data usage and storage consumption at multiple levels---instance, table, and logical table. * Manage data growth proactively with improved console tools and scalable deletion processes. * Streamline data management policies with enhanced support for multiple archive rules and clear execution histories. * Experience an improved, modernized UI with accessible theming options tailored to user preferences.
