How to create multiple test RITM records

[Natahlie Nativi]

I need to create 200+ RITM to test a functionality of our portal. 
What is the best way to do it? 
I think using a script might be a bit hard since we need to set values for the variables.

@Natahlie Nativi 

you can use this sample script in background or fix script for 5 and then verify if it works fine and then repeat it for 200 times

try {
    var count = 5;
    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
        var cart = new Cart(cartId);
        //add your requested item to the cart by sys_id of the catalog item
        var item = cart.addItem('0336c34407d0d010540bf2508c1ed096', 1);

        //fill in the variables on the request item form
        // asset is name of variable and type is reference so give sysId
        cart.setVariable(item, "asset", "00a96c0d3790200044e0bfc8bcbe5dc3");
        var rc = cart.placeOrder();
        gs.info(rc.number);
    }

} catch (ex) {
    gs.info(ex);
}

Can we add a line here to set the requested_for to different users?

@Natahlie Nativi 

requested_for is a variable within your catalog item?

If variable then I already gave syntax how to set variable value similar to asset, it's just that you will have to store those user sysIds in array and use it like this

try {
    var count = 5;
	var arr = ['sysId1','sysId2','sysId3','sysId4','sysId5'];
    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
        var cart = new Cart(cartId);
        //add your requested item to the cart by sys_id of the catalog item
        var item = cart.addItem('0336c34407d0d010540bf2508c1ed096', 1);

        //fill in the variables on the request item form
        // asset is name of variable and type is reference so give sysId
        cart.setVariable(item, "asset", arr[count]);
        var rc = cart.placeOrder();
        gs.info(rc.number);
    }

} catch (ex) {
    gs.info(ex);
}

Or you are talking about requested_for field on RITM table?

If yes then you can get the REQ number from rc.number. query sc_req_item with this REQ number and update it

try {
    var count = 5;
    var arr = ['sysId1', 'sysId2', 'sysId3', 'sysId4', 'sysId5'];
    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
        var cart = new Cart(cartId);
        //add your requested item to the cart by sys_id of the catalog item
        var item = cart.addItem('0336c34407d0d010540bf2508c1ed096', 1);

        //fill in the variables on the request item form
        // asset is name of variable and type is reference so give sysId
        cart.setVariable(item, "asset", "someSysId");
        var rc = cart.placeOrder();
        gs.info(rc.number);

        var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
        gr.addQuery("request.number", rc.number);
        gr.query();
        if (gr.next()) {
            gr.requested_for = arr[count];
            gr.update();
        }
    }

} catch (ex) {
    gs.info(ex);
}

I tried doing this in my PDI and it created 5 new RITMs but the requested for is the system administrator. 

try {

    var count = 5;

    //user sysID

    var arr = ['62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1', 'a8f98bb0eb32010045e1a5115206fe3a', '0a826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5d7a', '22826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5dec', 'a2826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5ded'];

    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {

        var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);

        var cart = new Cart(cartId);

        //add your requested item to the cart by sys_id of the catalog item

        var item = cart.addItem('c7eb778f97d2415021983d1e6253af7b', 1);

        //fill in the variables on the request item form

        // asset is name of variable and type is reference so give sysId

        cart.setVariable(item, "select_group_which_needs_to_be_cloned", "d625dccec0a8016700a222a0f7900d06");

        cart.setVariable(item, "business_justification", "test");

        var rc = cart.placeOrder();

        gs.info(rc.number);

        var gr = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");

        gr.addQuery("request.number", rc.number);

        gr.query();

        if (gr.next()) {

            gr.requested_for = arr[count];

            gr.update();

        }

    }

} catch (ex) {

    gs.info(ex);

}
