About background script limitations.

[AjayI7527126430]

Hi,

I was running a simple background script to get the sys_id of each record in the table. But I am able to get only 50000 sys_id only even though the table has the more than 1 lac records.

Can any one tell me is there any limitation that how many records can be fetched in background script at a time?

Below is the script I am using for reference:

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user_grmember");

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

gs.print(gr.sys_id);

}

Hello @AjayI7527126430 ,

Try creating a scheduled job and return the same output in a log.

Hi Nayan 

Thanks for the reply.

But is it the limitation of background script to return 50k records only at a time.

Hello @AjayI7527126430 ,

Yes as background scripts run on the server it takes time to load and query all the records. Hence the action might be aborted based on it.

Hello @AjayI7527126430 

It may happens due to linear search of records, as it is quite time consuming. so it is showing only 50K records,

You need to Apply the bg script 2 times :-

gr.setLimit(50000); // First 50K records.

gr.chooseWindow(50000, 100000);  // For next 50K Records.
