Fix script causes workflows and business rules to run?

[jamesmcwhinney]

I am trying to run a fix script to set a new custom flag on all of my requested items and requests from false to true.

However, when I run my fix script, it seems to cause workflows to run, notifications to kick off,. etc.

I don't want this to happen when I run the script, is there any easy way to avoid this?

Here is what I have so far:

Fix Script

//Get all requested items which are IT=false and for which the catalog item is part of the catalog "Service Catalog" //Update the RITM such that IT=True var ritm = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item'); ritm.addEncodedQuery('cat_item.sc_catalogsLIKEe0d08b13c3330100c8b837659bba8fb4'); ritm.addQuery('u_department_it','false'); ritm.setLimit(10); //Start with 10 at a time to be safe ritm.setWorkflow(false); //Do not run business rules ritm.autoSysFields(false); //Do not update system fields ritm.query(); while (ritm.next()) { ritm.u_department_it = true; ritm.update(); } //Get all requests which are IT=false and which have a requested item which has IT=true //Update the request such that IT=true var req = new GlideRecord('sc_request'); req.addQuery('u_department_it','false'); // Where the request contains associated RITMs var grSQ = req.addJoinQuery('sc_req_item','sys_id','request'); // And the RITM records are IT grSQ.addCondition('u_department_it', 'true'); req.setLimit(10); //Start with 10 at a time to be safe req.setWorkflow(false); //Do not run business rules req.autoSysFields(false); //Do not update system fields req.query(); while (req.next()) { req.u_department_it = true; req.update(); }

Nevermind.

Looks like the below was actually effective in preventing other events from firing etc:

ritm.setWorkflow(false); //Do not run business rules

ritm.autoSysFields(false); //Do not update system fields
