Best way to override TaskUtils Script Includes extension TaskUtilsSNC.getConfigurationItemFilter

[Dharma Liyanag]

Hi There,

My requirement is the add table : change_request into this static variable CONSTANTS:

in TaskUtilsSNC  line 39.

    CONSTANTS: {

        OPS_FILTER_CLASSNAMES: ['incident', 'problem'], // task types for which the operational status filter will

And Override this function to use the changed one.

TaskUtilsSNC.getConfigurationItemFilter:

This will help to remove Retired CIs being shown on Configuration Item list in change_request.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks!!

This Works 🙂

var TaskUtils = Class.create();

TaskUtils.prototype = Object.extendsObject(TaskUtilsSNC, {

   /***************Custom changes****************/

    CONSTANTS: {

        OPS_FILTER_CLASSNAMES: ['incident', 'problem', 'change_request', 'change_task'], // task types for which the operational status filter will be applied      

    },

    getConfigurationItemFilter: function(current) {

        if (!current) {

            gs.error("[TaskUtilsSNC.getConfigurationItemFilter] : Invalid parameter");

            return;

        }

        var configItemFilter = '';

        var serviceOfferingFilter = 'sys_class_name!=service_offering';

        configItemFilter += serviceOfferingFilter;

        if (this.CONSTANTS.OPS_FILTER_CLASSNAMES.indexOf(current.sys_class_name + '') > -1)

            configItemFilter += "^operational_statusNOT IN" + new OpsStatusFilter('cmdb_ci').by('CreateTask').join();

        var principalClassFilter = this.getPCFilterEvaluated(current.sys_class_name + '');

        if (principalClassFilter.length > 0)

            configItemFilter += '^' + principalClassFilter;

        return configItemFilter;

    },

    type: 'TaskUtils'

});

So, just to make sure: if you override only one of the CONSTANTS in TaskUtils, do all of the other ones from TaskUtilsSNC stay intact? (e.g., TRACKER_NAME)

They do. However, in this script Dharma made, you would be overriding all of the other attributes of the CONSTANTS object, causing problems for anything using Dynamic CI Groups.
