Note: Some application changes are not represented by Customer Update records (sys_update_xml) Examples:
- Types of metadata where updateSynch = false
- Cascading changes to tables and fields such as display name changes
- Unresolved metadata references from other applications (resulting in no “display value” on the element)
- sys_id changes for coalescing files
- Changes to Flow/Flow Actions that may generate sys_documentation
- ua_table_license_config records generated on table creation
- Jobs running in the background such as natural language processing
- Cases where sys_update_xml is manually modified or removed
