    Update set administration

    Manage how update sets store, retrieve, preview, and apply configuration changes between instances.

    Administrators have the following options with update sets.

    • Create an update set to store local changes.
    • Select the current update set to store local changes.
    • Commit an update set to prepare it for distribution.
    • Report on the contents of update sets.
    • Compare update sets to determine what differences they contains.
    • Merge separate update sets into a single update set.
    • Create an external file from an update set.
    • Retrieve update sets from remote instances.
    • Apply retrieved update sets.
    • Back out changes applied from an update set.
    • Set system properties related to update sets

    Grant access to the update set picker

    The update set picker allows users to choose an update set for making and tracking customizations. By default, only administrators can use the update set picker. You can grant access to additional users.

    Automatically preview retrieved update sets

    By default, the system automatically previews update sets as soon as it has retrieved them. To turn off this behavior, set the system property glide.update_set.auto_preview to false: in the navigator filter, type sys_properties.list then navigate to the glide.update_set.auto_preview property and edit the value field.

    Track an application table

    Application developers can track application changes in an update set to save or distribute a particular version of an application. During table creation, set Extends Table to Application File [sys_metadata].

    • Grant access to the update set picker

      Enable a non-administrative user to use the update set picker.

    • Overwrite customizations during an upgrade

      Specify which customized objects you want to replace during the next upgrade. By default, the upgrade process skips changes to customized objects.

    • Creating, testing, and moving customizations

      Use these procedures to create, test, and move customizations from a development system to a production system.
