Bulk Create RITMs as Historical Information

Edi 8 · ‎10-10-2023

Hi Experts,

I had a question that is similar to this post, but slightly different: https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/create-bulk-ritm-and-single-request-from-excel/...

Background: we are sunsetting an application and moving processes into ServiceNow. We now need to migrate historical case details from the sunsetting application into SNOW for reference purposes.

Requirement:

- We have an excel file where each row has data for a single RITM/REQ

- We need to populate data from Excel into each RITM's variable(s) and fields on the RITM (sc_req_item) table

- We need to create these RITMs/REQs in an closed complete State and not trigger any notifications

Thank you in advance!

I'm closing this thread as I was able to figure it out. For anyone out there who has a similar use case, I ended up creating records on each table: sc_request, sc_req_item, sc_item_option, sc_item_option in a loop. This way, you can update fields on the REQ/RITM table and also account for each variable that needs to be created.

@Edi 8

So what did you start with as per that link and where are you stuck?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar - I'm currently stuck with the onComplete transform script. I'm looking to get some help in updating the script in this post to meet my requirements.

Thank you,

Edi

@Edi 8

Please share what you tried in onComplete transform script?

Have you written onComplete to mark state as close complete?

I'm having issues updating this onComplete script as I'm seeing that it creates multiple RITMs under the same REQ. I'm also not finding a way to update columns on the RITM table (for example, setting it to close complete). If I can get some assistance with this part, and suggestions on not triggering notifications, I think I can update the rest.
