Hi @SumajRajNk ,
Use following fix script:
(function executeFixScript() {
// Define the names or Sys IDs of the model categories to delete
var categoryNames = ['Hardware', 'Software', 'Peripheral']; // <-- change to your actual names
var categoryGr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_model_category');
categoryGr.addQuery('name', 'IN', categoryNames.join(','));
categoryGr.query();
while (categoryGr.next()) {
var categorySysId = categoryGr.getUniqueValue();
var categoryName = categoryGr.name;
// Delete associated cmdb_model records
var modelGr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_model');
modelGr.addQuery('model_category', categorySysId);
modelGr.query();
var deletedCount = 0;
while (modelGr.next()) {
modelGr.deleteRecord();
deletedCount++;
}
gs.info('Deleted ' + deletedCount + ' cmdb_model records for category: ' + categoryName);
// Now delete the category itself
categoryGr.deleteRecord();
gs.info('Deleted model category: ' + categoryName);
}
})();
If you prefer to filter based on Sys IDs instead of names, just change this:
categoryGr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', sysIdList.join(','));
