fix script to kill old ageing workflows

 this article now superceded by a better solution, go to:

http://www.cloudminus89.com/2022/07/servicenow-kill-workflows-executing.html

 

these workflows may be stuck in limbo on tickets since closed


var sQuery="active=true^started<javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2018-01-02','00:00:00')";

var grWF=new GlideRecord('wf_context');
grWF.addQuery(sQuery);
grWF.query();
gs.print(grWF.getRowCount());

while (grWF.next()){
  var grTask=new GlideRecord('task');
  grTask.addInactiveQuery();
  grTask.addQuery('sys_id', grWF.id);
  grTask.query();
  if (grTask.next()){
     gs.print('ticket ' +  grTask.number);
     grWF.state='cancelled';
     grWF.active=false;
     var cancel_sysid=grWF.update();
     gs.print(cancel_sysid);
     //break;
  }
}

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 )){
