This server class provides methods to operate with database records.

addOrCondition(property, operatorOrValue, value)

This method appends a 2-or-3 parameter OR condition to an existing query. It works in conjunction with any of the addQuery() methods.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.addQuery('contact_type', 'email').addOrCondition('number', 'INC0000006');
incident.query();

addQuery(property, operatorOrValue, value)

This method adds a condition for the selection from the database.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");
incident.addQuery( "active", true );
incident.addQuery( "subject" , "LIKE" , "сеть" );
incident.addQuery( "sys_created_at" , "<" , "2019-04-01 00:00:00" );
incident.query();

addEncodedQuery(condition)

Adds encoded query to other queries already created.

Parameter(s)

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.addEncodedQuery('active=1');

canCreate()

This method determines if the Access Control Rules permit inserting new records in this table.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
ss.info( incident.canCreate() );

canDelete()

This method determines if the Access Control Rules permit deleting records in this table.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
ss.info( incident.canDelete() );

canRead()

This method determines if the Access Control Rules permit reading records in this table.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
ss.info( incident.canRead() );

canUpdate()

This method determines if the Access Control Rules permit updating records in this table.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
ss.info( incident.canUpdate() );

deleteMultiple()

This method allows deleting multiple records that meet the query condition. It does not allow deleting attachments.

Do not use it on tables with dependencies. Always delete each record individually.

Also, do not use it combined with the setLimit() method when working with large tables.

Do not use the deleteMultiple() method on the tables with the currency fields. Always delete each record individually. Also, do not use this method with the chooseWindow() or setLimit() methods when working with large tables.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.addQuery( 'subject' , "LIKE" , "network" );
incident.query();
incident.deleteMultiple();

deleteRecord(recordSetId)

This method deletes the current record.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.get(5236);
incident.deleteRecord();

get(propertyOrValue, value)

This method loads an object from a database based on the field value, or, in a specific case, by the sys_id.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");
incident.get( "subject" , "Network does not work" )

getAttributes()

This method returns an object with current record properties as keys and properties values as key values.

Return:

const rec = new SimpleRecord('sys_db_table');
rec.get(some_id);
const attrs = rec.getAttributes();
// attrs = {sys_id: some_id, title: "My title", name: "my_name", ...}

getClassDisplayValue()

This method returns the table title. If the title is not set, then returns name.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");
ss.info( incident.getClassDisplayValue() );

getDisplayValue(property)

This method returns displayed field or record value (the display_by_ref field). For example, for the reference field the entity name will be returned, but not the ID.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");

incident.get(5236);
ss.info( incident.getDisplayValue( "caller_id" ) );

getErrors()

If the record creating, updating or deleting will fail, then this method will display error message.

Return:

Example:

let rec = new SimpleRecord('sys_db_table');
rec.get('name', 'task');
if (!rec.deleteRecord()) {
	let errors = rec.getErrors();
 	errors.forEach(function(error) {
		ss.addErrorMessage(error);
	})
}

getLabel(property)

This method returns the field title.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");

incident.get(5236);
ss.info( incident.getLabel( "caller_id" ) );

getTableName()

This method returns the current table name.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');

ss.info( incident.getTableName() ); // incident

getValue(property)

This method returns the value of the object property based on its name.

Parameter(s):

Return:

const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.get('15000000000001');
ss.info(record.getValue('assigned_user')); // 150000000534521234

insert()

This method creates a database record.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');

incident.insert();

matchesCondition(condition)

This method checks whether the current record meets the condition being in the current state.

rec.description = 'dsc';
rec.matchesCondition('descriptionLIKEesc'); // false
rec.description = 'desc';
rec.matchesCondition('descriptionLIKEesc'); // true

next()

If this is a new request, then this method returns the first record from the list; otherwise it returns FALSE, in the case if the record is unavailable.

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord("incident");

incident.query();

while ( incident.next() ){

ss.info( incident.sys_id);

}

orderBy(column)

This method sorts records in the ascending order.

Parameter(s):

Return:

orderByDesc(column)

This method sorts the records in the descending order.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.orderByDesc('subject');
incident.query();

query()

This method runs a query against the selection from the database, based on the $this→query. After this, it fills in the record set.

Return:

selectAttributes(attributes)

This method is intended to optimize database queries. Sometimes, it is necessary to obtain only several object fields, not the whole object, Therefore, this method is added.

Return:

Example:

const record = new SimpleRecord('user');
record.selectAttributes(['email']);
record.query();
while (record.next()) {
    ss.info(record.email); // not null
    ss.info(record.first_name); // null
    ss.info(record.username); // null
    ... // other fields are null
}

setAbortAction(flag)

This method sets a flag, indicating that will be current operation (insert/update/delete) interrupted. It used in business-rules.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

current.setAbortAction(true);

setLimit(maxNumRecords)

Sets a limit for a number of records are fetched by SimpleRecord query.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.setLimit(30);
incident.query();

setMultipleValue(property,value)

This method sets the properties values for every entry in the current selection.

Parameter(s):

Return:

const rec = new SimpleRecord('task');
rec.addQuery('state', 'Created');
rec.query();
rec.setMultipleValue('state', 'Confirmed');
rec.updateMultiple();

setValue(property, value)

This method sets the value of the field in the current record.

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');

incident.setValue("subject" , "Help me");

silentMode(enable)

This method is intended to update the record without executing any entities related to this record implementing the business logic, such as business rules, notifications, workflows, etc.

record.query();
record.next();
record.silentMode();
record.update();

update(reason)

This method updates a database record.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

let incident = new SimpleRecord('incident');
incident.get(5246);
incident.subject += " (repair)";
incident.update();

updateMultiple()

This method updates all the selection entries.

const rec = new SimpleRecord('task');
rec.addQuery('state', 'Created');
