when using change sets, what is important to track?
Changes, especially changes that require manual migration.
When you manually migrate a change, you take modifications from one environment and re-create them exactly in another environment
You have to manually migrate a change when that change is not supported by the metadata api
for change sets, how do you know which components are supported in the metadata API?
check the metadata coverage report
why is it important to track changes made during development?
to identify what should go in a change set
why track changes made in production when they are not part of a release in development?
so customizations deployed don’t overwrite anything
what does a change set include?
All changes and new components to be added, and all customizations required to make them work.
can you modify the contents of a change set after uploading it to the org?
No.
You can’t modify the contents of a change set after you upload it to an org. If you want to modify a change set after you’ve uploaded it, clone the change set, modify the clone, and upload the modified clone to the target org.
can still change deployment connection
what happens if any part of a change set inbound deployment fails?
The entire change set is rolled back.
what happens if a change set deployment is successfully completed?
ALL changes are applied to your org and can’t be rolled back.
