Script to prefix duplicate numbers

 belt and braces fix approach:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/xanadu-platform-administration/page/administer/field-administration/concept/c_EnforcingUniqueNumbering.html

but below is a fix script example to fix historic tickets with duplicate numbers


//--sys_ids for duplicate numbers selected based on the latest created of the duplicates var bUpdate = false; bUpdate = true; //--dupl INCIDENTS duplIncidents(bUpdate); //--dupl CHANGE: duplChgRequests(bUpdate); //--dupl ST CHANGE: duplStChgRequests(bUpdate); printFullList(); var bDelete = false; //bDelete=true; if (bDelete) { tidyUpSubProd(bDelete); } function duplIncidents(bUpdate) { var inc_sysids = 'd9f0e709db54a68074abffa9bf961xxx,8894b385db62e60074abffa9bf961xxx,cfbc2ccd4f51364057db0b318110cxxx'; var sysidsARR = inc_sysids.split(','); for (iC = 0; iC < sysidsARR.length; iC++) { renameDuplNumber(sysidsARR[iC].toString(), 'incident', 'd_', bUpdate); } //renameDuplNumber('f4e822d9db0f4f4074abffa9bf961xxx', 'incident', 'd_', bUpdate); } function duplChgRequests(bUpdate) { var chg_sysids = renameDuplNumber('27e1abb41b16c41c89070e9c5e4bcxxx', 'change_request', 'd_', bUpdate); } function duplStChgRequests(bUpdate) { //--dupl STDCHANGE: this record had 3 duplicates renameDuplNumber('202340cc47410200e90d87e8dee49xxx', 'std_change_proposal', 'd_', bUpdate); renameDuplNumber('c407515147810200e90d87e8dee49xxx', 'std_change_proposal', 'd2_', bUpdate); renameDuplNumber('af47d04047810200e90d87e8dee49xxx', 'std_change_proposal', 'd_', bUpdate); } function renameDuplNumber(ticketSYSID, tableName, duplPrefix, bUpdate) { var grDupls = new GlideRecord(tableName); grDupls.addQuery('sys_id', ticketSYSID); grDupls.query(); if (grDupls.next()) { grDupls.autoSysFields(false); //--leave last updated intact grDupls.setWorkflow(false); //--skip business rules and notifications grDupls.setEngines(false); //--skip data policy rules var sNum = grDupls.number; var sNewNum = duplPrefix + sNum; grDupls.number = sNewNum; if (bUpdate) { var sRes = grDupls.update(); gs.print(sRes + ' updated to ' + grDupls.number + ' [' + ticketSYSID + ']'); } else { gs.print('set update flag to true to update --' + ticketSYSID); } } } function printFullList() { var sysids = '227c57f81b52c41c89070e9c5e4bcxxx,27e1abb41b16c41c89070e9c5e4bcxxx,c22f9bc5db54a68074abffa9bf961xxx'; var sysidsARR = sysids.split(','); var tableName = 'task'; for (iC = 0; iC < sysidsARR.length; iC++) { var grDupls = new GlideRecord(tableName); grDupls.addQuery('sys_id', sysidsARR[iC]); grDupls.query(); if (grDupls.next()) { gs.print(grDupls.number); } } } function tidyUpSubProd(bDelete) { instURL = gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri'); if (instURL.indexOf('https://prod.service-now.com') > -1) { gs.print('Not to be run on prod!!'); } else { var sQuery = 'numberINCHG50003xx,INC00156zz,INC00250yy,d_INCHG50003xx,d_INC00156zz,d_INC00250yy'; var grDelRecords = new GlideRecord('task'); grDelRecords.addQuery(sQuery); if (!bDelete) { grDelRecords.query(); gs.print('RECORDS TO DELETE: ' + grDelRecords.getRowCount() + '-- target:6'); } else { grDelRecords.deleteMultiple(); } } }

ServiceNow timeout settings for virtual agent chat

  After connecting to live agent User is connected to live agent and not responding to live agent chat or distracted. The below properties controls the timeout settings, the OOB settings for reminder is [180 sec] and for cancelling the chat is [360 sec]. The job is default configured to 2 min so I believe no tweaking is required here.  Property -   com.glide.cs.idle_chat_reminder_timeout                  com.glide.cs.idle_chat_cancel_timeout Scheduled job   - Idle Chat Timer Task   https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=1453b03bdbaad0109e691ea668961929   (ServiceNow ) 

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...
