Duplicates Numbers

[Mr Bow]

Hi there,

I am creating  a fix script that look for duplicates numbers in my custome table 'x_table', for the records that share the same number, the more recent record should be renumbered to the next available number.

so far i have this script:

  var dupRecords = []; 
     var gaDupCheck1 = new GlideAggregate('u_vendor_category'); 
     gaDupCheck1.addQuery('active','true'); 
     gaDupCheck1.addAggregate('COUNT','u_number'); 
     gaDupCheck1.groupBy('u_number'); 
     gaDupCheck1.addHaving('COUNT', '>', 1); 
     gaDupCheck1.query(); 
     while (gaDupCheck1.next()) { 
           dupRecords.push(gaDupCheck1.u_number.toString() + '\n'); 
     } 
     gs.print(dupRecords); 

So it will retrun an array with the duplicates number, any help?

Hi,

Unless this is all purely coincidental...which I doubt, you aren't "creating" a fix script, haha, this has been posted in numerous threads, to include: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=d28b8761db9cdbc01dcaf3231f96... from like 5 years ago.

So this script will return an array of all the numbers that have a duplicate entry.

Not sure what else you're asking....

Thanks!

yes thats right this will return an array of all the numbers that have a duplicate entry. i would like to get a record with the same  number and updated the recent record with another available number in the system so then it will not be longer duplicate.

i dont relly get the following:

i runing this in a background script

function fixDuplicates(num) { // num can be replace with what?
   var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
   gr.addQuery('number', num); // here as well what shall i puit in num
   gr.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');
   gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
var nm = new NumberManager('incident');
gr.number = nm.getNextObjNumberPadded();
gr.update();
}
gs.print(gr.number);
}
