Updating DCM to latest version
Updating the application
Scoped applications can be updated directly from the ServiceNow instance you have installed the application as long as your organization is entitled for the update.
Entitlement is related to Paid applications in ServiceNow Store. Entitlement can be based on a trial or purchase which usually grants entitlement for 12 months.
If your organization or instances are not entitled for the update, please contact us for more details.
Procedure
After the update
Note!
Since DCM R4.4 the Guided Setup also includes an "After update" section which includes the latest instructions per release.
Deprecated configurations
Some of the DCM application-related configurations have been deprecated and are no longer used by the latest versions of the application.
Due to the nature of scoped applications and how they are distributed, updates will not delete any configuration from customer instances. Therefore deletions have to be done manually. The following table lists all configurations (or application files) that can be deleted.
# | Configuration | Notes | Deprecated in DCM version |

2 | DCM Helper | Helper included some items that are no longer needed. | DCM R4.3 |
3 | Save Field Plan | Ui action to save Field Plan on Data Content Planner. | DCM R4.4 |
