ServiceNow ARRAYS: Group matching incidents by CI and short description (typically from alerts) into a problem record

 (ServiceNow )

sample script - could be moved into a monthly scheduled job script

scheduled job code (calls the script include): 

var si=new hmcts_dynatraceINCtoPRB().mergeDynatraceIncidentsIntoProblems(false);




in this example, the short description from the dynatrace alert is populated in the incident like so 

element 1 | element 2 | element 3 | element 4 (element 4 is not checked)

script include code
var dynatraceINCtoPRB = Class.create(); dynatraceINCtoPRB.prototype = { initialize: function() { this.bDebug = false; this.bUpdate = true; this.encodedQuery = gs.getProperty('dynatrace.prb_automation_mgmt.encoded_query'); //this.bUpdate=false; //--testing only }, mergeDynatraceIncidentsIntoProblems: function(bDebug) { if (bDebug) { this.bDebug = true; } var grDTincs = new GlideAggregate('incident'); grDTincs.addQuery('correlation_displayLIKEdynatrace'); grDTincs.addQuery('cmdb_ciISNOTEMPTY'); grDTincs.addQuery('problem_id', ''); grDTincs.addEncodedQuery(this.encodedQuery); grDTincs.query(); var dt_inc_arr = []; while (grDTincs.next()) { var sCI = grDTincs.cmdb_ci; var sSD = grDTincs.short_description.substring(0, grDTincs.short_description.lastIndexOf('|') + 1); sSD = sSD.substring(0, sSD.length - 1); //--trim the last "|" dt_inc_arr.push(sCI + ';' + sSD); } dt_inc_arr.sort(); //gs.print(dt_inc_arr); this._count_duplicate(dt_inc_arr); return "COMPLETE"; }, _count_duplicate: function(a) { var counts = {}; var bBreak = false; //bBreak = true; //--testing only, to allow for testing of one batch of incidents only var iDuplicateThreshold = parseInt(gs.getProperty('dynatrace.prb_automation_mgmt.incident_threshold')); for (ic = 0; ic < a.length; ic++) { if (counts[a[ic]]) { counts[a[ic]] += 1; } else { counts[a[ic]] = 1; } } for (prop in counts) { if (counts[prop] >= iDuplicateThreshold) { if (this.bDebug) { gs.log(prop + " counted: " + counts[prop] + " times.", "SIDTINCPRB:forLoop"); } try { this._incToPrb(prop); //--link the incidents to problem } catch (ex) { gs.logError('ERROR: ' + ex.toString, 'SIDTINCPRB:_count_duplicate'); } if (bBreak) { gs.log('BREAK statement enabled', 'SIDTINCPRB:_count_duplicate'); break; } } } //gs.print(counts); }, _incToPrb: function(qString) { var sArr = qString.split(';'); var grDTincs = new GlideRecord('incident'); if (!gs.nil(sArr[0]) && !gs.nil(sArr[1])) { grDTincs.addQuery('cmdb_ci', sArr[0]); grDTincs.addQuery('short_descriptionSTARTSWITH' + sArr[1]); grDTincs.addQuery('correlation_displayLIKEdynatrace'); grDTincs.addEncodedQuery(this.encodedQuery); grDTincs.addQuery('problem_id', ''); grDTincs.query(); while (grDTincs.next()) { var sPrbID = this._getExistingProblemRecord(sArr[0], sArr[1]); if (sPrbID != '') { grDTincs.problem_id = sPrbID; } else { if (this.bUpdate) { sPrbID = this._setNewProblemRecord(sArr[0], sArr[1]); grDTincs.problem_id = sPrbID; } } if (this.bUpdate) { grDTincs.update(); } if (!gs.nil(sPrbID)) { gs.log('Incident ' + grDTincs.number + ' linked to problem ' + sPrbID, 'SIDTINCPRB:_incToPrb'); } } } }, _getExistingProblemRecord: function(cmdb_ci, short_description) { var sPrbID = ''; var existing_problem = new GlideRecord('problem'); existing_problem.addQuery('problem_id', 'NOT IN', '4, 11'); existing_problem.addQuery('cmdb_ci', cmdb_ci); existing_problem.addQuery('short_description', short_description); existing_problem.query(); if (existing_problem.next()) { sPrbID = existing_problem.sys_id; gs.log('Existing problem ' + existing_problem.number + ' in place for common Dynatrace Incidents', 'SIDTINCPRB:_getExistingProblemRecord'); } return sPrbID; }, _setNewProblemRecord: function(cmdb_ci, short_description) { var sPrbID = ''; var new_problem = new GlideRecord('problem'); new_problem.newRecord(); new_problem.short_description = short_description; new_problem.assignment_group = gs.getProperty('dynatrace.prb_automation_mgmt.assignment_group'); new_problem.cmdb_ci = cmdb_ci; sPrbID = new_problem.insert(); gs.log('New problem ' + new_problem.number + ' created for common Dynatrace Incidents', 'SIDTINCPRB:_setNewProblemRecord'); return sPrbID; }, type: 'dynatraceINCtoPRB' };

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 )){...
