Hello All,

One asset is associated with one CI, but I have another CI which has to be associated to this asset.

For example: I have Asset "XYZ" and it has related CI "XYZ". But there is another CI "ABC". 

Now this Asset "XYZ" has to be related to CI "ABC". 

My requirement is, I should keep the sys_id of Asset XYZ in the asset field of CI ABC and should remove the sys_id of asset xyz from the CI XYZ.

Can anyone please help with script in fix script.

Thanks in advance.

It would go something like this:

Standard disclaimer: The following code is untested, requires review and potential modifications.

(function () {  

    // Clear out old asset value of CI XYZ
    var ci1 = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');

    if (ci1.get('asset', 'SYS_ID_OF_ASSET_XYZ')) {
        ci1.asset = '';
        ci1.update();
    }
 
    // Set the value of the new GlideRecord
    var ci2 = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');

    if (ci2.get('SYS_ID_OF_CI_ABC')) {
        ci2.asset = 'SYS_ID_OF_ASSET_XYZ';
        ci2.update();
    }
})();

Use an array or query for the records in a loop, then iterate over each record. It sounds like you need to know three bits of information:

  • Original CI
  • New CI
  • Asset

That implies you have a list somewhere of those elements or you can query for them. While it's easy to query for the CI that currently as the asset, I don't yet understand how you would get a list of New CIs that you want to assign the asset to.
