GlideAggregate for detecting duplicate records

[tonypod]

I am trying to detect duplicates across multiple columns using GlideAggregate, but cannot seem to figure it out.   Is it even possible?   Is there a better way?   Here is a snippet for getting unique records when determining uniqueness from single column.   I need to do this by looking at two columns.

1. getDuplicates();  
2. function getDuplicates() {  
3.     var dupRecords = [];  
4.     var gaDupCheck1 = new GlideAggregate('sys_user');  
5.     gaDupCheck1.addQuery('active','true');  
6.     gaDupCheck1.addAggregate('COUNT', 'user_name');  
7.     gaDupCheck1.groupBy('user_name');  
8.     gaDupCheck1.addHaving('COUNT', '>', 1);  
9.     gaDupCheck1.query();  
10.     while (gaDupCheck1.next()) {  
11.           dupRecords.push(gaDupCheck1.user_name.toString());  
12.     }  
13.     gs.print(dupRecords);  
14. }

Tony,

If there is any direct way to achieve this ---Grouping on multiple fields --- then i am not aware of it.

For your problem here, can you create 2 Glide Aggregate. I mean like the script that you wrote , use its output in the next GlideAggregate and there you can Group by a different field.

Hi Tonypod,

Good Day

Hope your script will works fine to find the duplicate records if it exists for the same user. But, I am not sure why are looking to check for email id, however if there is no duplicate records for the same user, the email can't exists duplicate right?

Thanks,

Priyanka R
