Can we update a record in ATF using run server side script?

[Siddhant4]

Hi, I had a question regarding ATF.
I have a catalog task with a variable in variable set named 'Next Step'. I need to update the variable in order to close the task, but I'm not sure as to how exactly to update the record.
The variable doesn't come from the RITM, therefore I cannot simply use 'Set Variable Value' step as the variable won't show. I thought of using 'run server side script' but the script doesn't update the variable on sc_task. Below script:

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) {
// add test script here
var STEP_15_SYS_ID= 'd9f8dd67db805410bea7550a48961930'; // step sys_id


var step_16_output = steps(STEP_15_SYS_ID);

var grtask = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
grtask.addQuery('request_item',step_16_output.first_record);
grtask.query();
if(grtask.next()){
gs.log("Found task : " + grtask.number);
gs.print(grtask.request_item.variables.next_step);
grtask.request_item.variables.next_step='Solution Approved, Build Required';
grtask.update();
outputs.table = 'sc_task';
outputs.record_id = grtask.sys_id;
}

})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual);

Now, I'm not sure how to go about the problem. Is this possible through ATF?

Hi,

Can you try running script in background for some hard-coded catalog task sys_id and RITM

Hi Ankur,

Thanks for your help, I did hit and trial on the background script and was able to understand that the variable on catalog task wasn't coming from the RITM, therefore the line

grtask.request_item.variables.next_step='Solution Approved, Build Required';

Doesn't work.

I just needed to change the line into the below code and it worked:

grtask.variables.next_step='Solution Approved, Build Required';

But thank you so much for the help.
