Hi Guys,
My scenario is
Description :
As a user, I want to make sure old resolved Incidents are closed in a timely manner (7 days) so the teams can focus on active issues.
7 days - all priority except 0 and 1
Priority 2 to 5 Incidents are auto closed 7 days after Resolved.
I did as shown below
when to run :
when : After Order : 100
In Filter condition: I took Priority is one of 2-High
3-Moderate
4-Low
5- Planning
state is Resolved
In Actions:
State to close
Script :
// This script automatically closes incidents that are resolved
// and haven't been updated in the specified number of days.
// This number is a property in System Properties.
// To place a comment in the incident, uncomment the "gr.comments" line.
autoCloseIncidents();
function autoCloseIncidents() {
var ps = gs.getProperty('glide.ui.autoclose.time');
var pn = parseInt(ps);
var queryTime = new GlideDateTime();
queryTime.addDaysUTC(-pn);
if (pn > 0) {
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addQuery('incident_state', IncidentState.RESOLVED);
gr.addQuery('sys_updated_on', '<', queryTime);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()) {
gr.incident_state = IncidentState.CLOSED;
// gr.comments = 'Incident automatically closed after ' + pn + ' days in the Resolved state.';
gr.active = false;
gr.closed_by = gr.resolved_by;
gr.update();
}
}
}
Can any body suggest me what i did wrong and what needs to change in this
Thanks
Sai,

You have to set auto close property or write scheduled job.
Business rule is not required in this case.
Please go through the below link

Hi Sai
Use below script it will work
var query = "state=6^priorityIN2,3,4,5^opened_at<javascript:gs.beginningOfLast7Days()" ;
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.addEncodedQuery(query);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()) {
gr.incident_state = 7 ;// PUT THE STATE VALUE OF CLOSED HERE
// gr.comments = 'Incident automatically closed after ' + pn + ' days in the Resolved state.';
gr.active = false;
gr.closed_by = gr.resolved_by;
gr.update();
}

Hi Sai,
I invite you to take a look at a scriptless solution I built on to OOB scheduled jobs that can help you with this. It was built for use cases just like this.
