I have completed #ServiceNowHacktoberfest with 4 PRs accepted.

 

Following are the details of my pull requests:

 

  1. Utility to Fix Update Set Scoping Issues - PR: ServiceNowDevProgram/code-snippets#1071

 

ServiceNow Developers work with update set batching and many times it happens that customer updates gets captured in a wrong scope. As of Xanadu release, there is no way to fix these scoping issues in child updates. This code snippet utility will perform following and implement a way of taking in a parent/batch update set:

  • Navigate all children, all updates in children.

  • Determine scope issues with updates.

  • Create new update set in correct scopes.

  • Move updates to those new update sets.

  • Associate them with parent/batch.

  • Stop action on completion of update sets if there are any scope issues found and direct the user to click on the Fix Scope button.

This functionality has following:

  • Business rule to abort transaction if scoping issues are found in batched update sets.
  • Script include which does job of scoping issues conflict as well as logic for fixing batch scope issues.
  • UI action which can be used by developers to fix scoping issues conflict.

 

2.   GreenHouse ServiceNow Integration Utility - PR: ServiceNowDevProgram/code-snippets#1164

 

This code snippet utility contains sample code to integrate ServiceNow with GreenHouse and pull employee files from GreenHouse in ServiceNow Employee Document Management OOB Table records.

Sample code queries HR profile which a filtered query of active users which has a valid greenhouse ID present in ServiceNow HR profile records.
