ServiceNow - Bulk update users

 in this example, the 'web_service_access_only' flag has incorrectly been set to true on a large number of records:

var bUpdate=false; //bUpdate=true; //--uncomment this to update, leave commented out to run initial checks //--compare results with this url: //--https://<>.service-now.com/sys_user_list.do?sysparm_query=web_service_access_only%3Dtrue%5EemailLIKE... var sComplexQuery='emailLIKEgov.^ORemailLIKEpolice^ORemailLIKE.org^user_nameNOT LIKEserviceaccount.^user_nameNOT LIKEsystem'; var grUsers=new GlideRecord('sys_user'); grUsers.addQuery('web_service_access_only', 'true'); //grUsers.addQuery('sys_id', '01b665cc1b3d54dcd9b81f4c2e4xxxx'); //--uncomment if you only want to target a single user to test the update grUsers.addEncodedQuery (sComplexQuery); if (!bUpdate){ grUsers.query(); gs.print(grUsers.getRowCount()); //--should return around 6131 users on pre-prod }else{ grUsers.autoSysFields(false);//--leave last updated intact grUsers.setWorkflow(false); //--skip business rules and notifications grUsers.setValue('web_service_access_only', 'false'); grUsers.updateMultiple(); }

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 )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep or gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
