This server class contains methods to operate the database records.

SimpleRecord(tableName)


This method instantiates a SimpleRecord class object for a particular table.


Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault Value
tableNameStringYN

Example:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleSimpleRecord
linenumberstrue
const taskRecord = new SimpleRecord('task');


REM attribute object


The SimpleRecord class has a special object for Record Extended Modelsrem_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 in the example shown below.

Tip

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

For exampleExample:

record.rem_attr.getValue('my_rem_attribute');

Example:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleget() using REM
linenumberstrue
const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.get('160638931615274614');
if (record.getReModelId()) {
    ss.info(record.rem_attr.description);
}

addOrCondition(property, operator, value)


This method appends adds the OR condition to an existing query. It works in conjunction with the addQuery() method. In this method, you can use any required necessary operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Note that you need to use Use the system name names of the operator 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.

Note

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):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault Value
propertyStringY

N

Info

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.


operatorString (refer to the Condition Operators article for more information)N=
valueInteger or String or Boolean or Array or SimpleRecord objectYN

ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(166972638116358001:descriptionLIKEnot work)

    rmc.selectAttributes('sys_id');
    rmc.setLimit(1);
    rmc.query();
    if (rmc.next()) {
        const previousModelAttributes = getRemAttributes(current);
        current.setReModelId(rmc.sys_id);
