How to make a workflow IF condition that looks at chosen CI's table?

[Jens Mogensen]

Hi everyone

I have a workflow (for change requests) that needs to have an IF condition that is triggered by the operating system of the server chosen as Configuration Item (cmdb_ci) on the change form. For instance, it should evaluate to TRUE if the server is running Windows.

No matter what I try, I can't get it to evaluate to "true". I've tried scripts that look at whether the operating system field contains the word "Windows". I've also tried a script that looks at whether the CI is on the cmdb_win_server table but still, it results in a "false" even though the chosen server/CI clearly is on that table. Example:

 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Jens Mogensen ,

Please try this script:

(function executeCondition(current) {

if (!current.cmdb_ci) {
return false;
}

var ci = current.cmdb_ci.getRefRecord();

if (ci && ci.instanceOf('cmdb_ci_win_server')) {
return true;
}

return false;

})(current);

you can use this in IF script

var ci = current.cmdb_ci.sys_class_name;
if (ci == 'cmdb_ci_win_server') {
    // it's windows server
} else {
    // it's not
}
