SimpleRecord Server-Side

This server class provides methods to operate the database records.

SimpleRecord(tableName)

Use the constructor to instantiate an object of the SimpleRecord class for a particular table.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
tableName	String	Y	N

Example:

SimpleRecord

const taskRecord = new SimpleRecord('task');

REM attribute object

The SimpleRecord class has a special object for Record Extended Models – rem_attr that contains information about the REM attributes. Use it to read and edit REM attribute values of the current record with the methods as shown below.

rem_attr has a number of methods similar to the methods of the SimpleRecord:

getValue()
setValue()
getTitle()
getDisplayValue()

Example:

record.rem_attr.getValue('my_rem_attribute');

Example:

get() using REM

const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.get('160638931615274614');
if (record.getReModelId()) {
    ss.info(record.rem_attr.description);
}

SimpleReference object

When you call the fields of the Reference type, the response contains a special SimpleReference object. This object allows you to access the fields of the record in the Reference field with dot-walking.

SimpleReference object has a number of methods similar to the methods of the SimpleRecord:

Example:

getValue() using SimpleReference object

let record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.setLimit(1);
record.query();
record.next();
ss.info(record.caller.getValue('username'));

addOrCondition(property, operator, value)

Use the method to add the OR condition to an existing query. It works in conjunction with the addQuery() method. In this method, you can use any necessary operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operators in the scripts.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
property	String	Y	N For the REM attributes use the following pattern: '<sys_id>:<attr_name>' where sys_id – the ID of the model that contain the attribute, and attr_name – the system name of the REM attribute.
operator	String	N	=
value	Integer/String/Boolean/Array/SimpleReference object	Y	N

Return:

Type	Description
SimpleRecord object	This method returns the instance where the method was called.

Examples:

addOrCondition()

const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'not work')
record.addOrCondition('description', 'like', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(descriptionLIKEnot work)

addOrCondition() with a REM attribute

let record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'not work')
record.addOrCondition('166972638116358001:description', 'contains', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(166972638116358001:descriptionLIKEnot work)

It is possible to pass the Reference field value as current.{reference_field_name} instead of the record ID as the addOrCondition() method value. The script example:

Pass SimpleRecord as an argument

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.setLimit(1);
task.query();
if (!task.next()) {
  ss.info('No tasks found!');
  return;
}

const relatedTask = new SimpleRecord('task');
relatedTask.addQuery('caller', task.caller);
relatedTask.addOrCondition('assigned_user', task.caller);
relatedTask.query();
ss.info('Tasks count: ' + relatedTask.getRowCount());
// Info: Tasks count: 122

addQuery(property, operator, value)

Use this method to add a condition to make a selection of records from the database. In this method, you can use any required operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operators in the scripts.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
property	String	Y	N For the REM attributes use the following pattern: '<sys_id>:<attr_name>' where sys_id is the ID of the model that contain the attribute, and attr_name is the system name of the REM attribute.
operator	String	N	=
value	Integer/String/Boolean/Array/SimpleReference object	Y	N

Return:

Type	Description
SimpleRecord object	This method returns the instance where the method was called.

Examples:

addQuery()

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.addQuery('active', true);
task.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'email');
task.addQuery('sys_created_at', '<', '2019-04-01 00:00:00');
task.query();
ss.info('Count: ' + task.getRowCount());
// Info: Count: 0

addQuery() with REM attribute

let record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('166972638116358001:description', 'not work');
record.query();
ss.info("Total rows: " + record.getRowCount());
// Info: Total rows: 1

It is possible to pass the value of the Reference field as current.{reference_field_name} instead of the record ID as the addQuery() в method value. The script example:

Pass SimpleRecord as an argument

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.setLimit(1);
task.query();
if (!task.next()) {
  ss.info('No tasks found!');
  return;
}

const otherTask = new SimpleRecord('task');
otherTask.addQuery('caller', task.caller);
otherTask.addQuery('sys_id', '!=', task.sys_id);
otherTask.query();
ss.info('Tasks count: ' + otherTask.getRowCount());
// Info: Tasks count: 720

addEncodedQuery(condition)

Use this method to add an encoded query to select records from the database. You can also use a decoded query.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Use curly brackets when setting a filter argument for the text fields of type String, Text, Translated Text, Conditions, and URL. Using parenthesis for the argument may cause a filter query error.

Filter with text fields

const subject = 'Hello, SimpleOne)';
const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.addEncodedQuery(`subjectLIKE${subject}`);
ss.info(task.getConditionQuery());
try {
    task.query();
} catch (e) {
   ss.error(e.message);
} 
// Info: (subjectLIKEHello, SimpleOne))
// Error: Condition query is invalid

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
condition	String	Y	N For the REM attributes use the following pattern: '<sys_id>:<attr_name>' where sys_id is the ID of the model that contains the attribute, and attr_name is the system name of the REM attribute.

Return:

Type	Description
Void	This method does not return a value.

Examples:

addEncodedQuery()

const currentUser = ss.getUser();
const reciever = new SimpleRecord('employee');
reciever.addQuery('active', true);
if (currentUser.company.class === 'internal') {
    reciever.addEncodedQuery(`(company=${currentUser.getValue('company')})`);
} else {
    reciever.addEncodedQuery(`%28sys_db_table_id%3D158645243815904649%5Esys_created_byDYNAMIC156957117519820256%29`);
}
ss.info('Decoded condition: ' + reciever.getConditionQuery());
reciever.query();
// Info: Decoded condition: (active=1)^((sys_db_table_id=158645243815904649^sys_created_byDYNAMIC156957117519820256))

addEncodedQuery() with REM attributes

const receier = new SimpleRecord('task');
receiver.addQuery('active', true);
receiver.addEncodedQuery('%28sys_db_table_id%3D158645243815904649%5E166972638116358001%3AdescriptionLIKEwork`);
ss.info('Decoded condition: ' + receiver.getConditionQuery());
receiver.query();
// Info: Decoded condition: (active=1)^((sys_db_table_id=158645243815904649^166972638116358001:descriptionLIKEwork))

task.get('163352033916904699');
if (task.getValue('service') === '164069027812962298') { // Email Server Service
    task.setReModelId('158569205818704980'); // Email Server Access Request
} else {
    task.setReModelId(null);
}
task.update();

When calling the method on a SimpleRecord instance, the values of its attributes bound to the previous model will be reset.
After calling the method and updating the сurrent record, the attribute values bound to the previous model will be lost.

Example:

setReModelId()

(function executeRule(current, previous = null /*not null only when action is update*/ ) {
    // before rule triggered by service change

    ss.importIncludeScript('getRemAttributes');
    const rmc = new SimpleRecord('sys_rmc_model');
    rmc.addQuery('cmdb_service_id', current.getValue('service'));
    rmc.addQuery('active', true);
    rmc.selectAttributes('sys_id');
    rmc.setLimit(1);
    rmc.query();
    if (rmc.next()) {
        const previousModelAttributes = getRemAttributes(current);
        current.setReModelId(rmc.sys_id);
        const currentModelAttributes = getRemAttributes(current);

        Object.keys(previousModelAttributes).forEach(attributeName => {
            if (currentModelAttributes.hasOwnProperty(attributeName)) {
                current.rem_attr[attributeName] = previousModelAttributes[attributeName];
            }
        })
    } else {
        current.setReModelId(null);
    }

})(current, previous);

setValue(property, value)

Use this method to set a field value of the current record.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
property	String	Y	N
value	Any	Y	N

Return:

Type	Description

Example:

setValue()

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.setValue('subject', 'mail');
task.insert();

silentMode(enable)

Use this method to update a record without executing related business logic that is implemented with the business rules, notifications, workflows and others.

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default value
enable	Boolean	N	true

Return:

Type	Description
Void	This property does not return a value.

Example:

silentMode()

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.addQuery('active', false);
task.addQuery('approval_state', 'isempty');
task.query();
ss.info(task.getRowCount());
task.silentMode();
task.setMultipleValue('approval_state', 'not_requested'); // set Default value //task.updateMultiple();

update()

Use this method to update a record in the database.

Use this method for existing records.

If the record exists, the changes are applied.
If the record does not exist, the getErrors() method will return the error: "Unable to update new record. Use `insert()` instead. (record id: )"

Return:

Type	Description
String	If the record is not updated, the method returns '0' and generates a message containing a list of errors. The method returns an ID of the updated record if no errors occur.

Example:

update()

const current = new SimpleRecord('user');
current.get(ss.getUserId());
current.timezone_id = '156076775207670452'; // UTC
ss.info(current.update());
ss.info(current.getErrors());
// Info: 155931135900000001
// Info: []

updateMultiple()

Use this method to update all the records in the selection.

Return:

Type	Description
Boolean	If validation errors occur and the record is not updated, the method returns false and generates a message containing a list of errors. The method returns true if no errors occur.

Example:

updateMultiple()

const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.addQuery('state', '0'); // Open
task.query();
ss.info(task.getRowCount());
task.setMultipleValue('state', '10'); // Canceled
// task.updateMultiple();
