Using onAfter with ignore

[Anton15]

Hi

I have successfully used 'ignore = true' before, but what is the purpose of 'ignore=true' in the attached onAfter transformation script?

Please review the attached pic.

Thanks

Hi, If you add the ignore = true the transaction should be ignored. i.e, when the transaction is received in import set table and it will check the transformation script based on your if condition the transaction should be rejected.

Mainly, it's used to validate the empty values or not / Unique id is missing validations.

Thank you Suresh.

Please note this is an onAfter event - here the record is transformed and committed to the target table.

So, surely the script is pointless?

Thanks

Hi, if you want to apply the ignored state then it should be onBefore else you can directly write inside the transform map script (ie., above the field mapping tab)

Hi @Anton15 ,

I got below information from servicenow docs :-

When ignore is set to true, the current row transformation will be skipped and the remaining rows will be processed.

If you have defined an onAfter script, the onAfter script runs for the current row even if the ignore flag is set to true.
