Get unique parent categories (service catalog categories) - GlideAggregate - and grab their subcategories

var ga= new GlideAggregate('sc_category'); ga.addAggregate('COUNT', 'parent'); ga.addQuery('sc_catalog','9f6ef0cddb028f80edfc7cbdae96191c'); ga.addNotNullQuery('parent'); ga.addHaving('COUNT', '>', 0); ga.query(); var dupls=[]; var parentCats=[]; dupls.push("The following " + ga.getRowCount() + " records are duplicate on parent"); while (ga.next()) { var DuplLine=ga.getAggregate('COUNT', 'parent') + " => " + ga.getElement('parent.title'); dupls.push(DuplLine); //gs.print(DuplLine); parentCats.push(ga.getElement('parent.title') ); } var output=parentCats.toString(); output=output.replaceAll(",","\n"); gs.print(output);










output

for the subcategories:

parentCats.forEach(myFunction); function myFunction(item, index) { //gs.print( index + ":" + item.title); //gs.print( index + ":" + item.sys_id); gs.print('NEXT CATEGORY BATCH: ************' + item.title); var grCats= new GlideRecord('sc_category'); grCats.addQuery('parent', item.sys_id); grCats.query(); while (grCats.next()){ gs.print(grCats.title); } }

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
