How to debug a script source code in a transform amp

[johannes5]

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

I have a transform map where the source field is from a script i.e. in the Source for that field I checked the 'Use source script' checkbox so that the value to be mapped to the target field comes from a script. The problem I am running into is it's not working and I cannot even tell if my script is running at all. I have some debug code there (gs.log) and I cannot see it. I am assuming that this kind of script in a transform map is server side code and therefore I should see my gs.log statements in the logs if it's running but I don't see anything. Do you guys know what is the best way to debug a source script in the transform map?

Here is my source script code and I know that it works because I first tested it as a schedule job and I then replaced the calling object with source. Please take a look and advise.

answer = (function transformEntry(source) {

  // Add your code here

gs.log ("inside map script");

var fullEmpId = '';

if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length < 6) {

  if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length == 5) {

  fullEmpId = '0' + source.u_employeeid;

  }

  else if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length == 4) {

  fullEmpId = '00' + source.u_employeeid;

  }

  else if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length == 3) {

  fullEmpId = '000' + source.u_employeeid;

  }

  else if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length == 2) {

  fullEmpId = '0000' + source.u_employeeid;

  }

  else if (source.u_employeeid.toString().length == 1) {

  fullEmpId = '00000' + source.u_employeeid;

  } else {

  fullEmpId = source.u_employeeid;

  }

  } else {

  fullEmpId = source.u_employeeid;

  }

gs.log ('employee id' + fullEmpId);

  return fullEmpId; // return the value to be put into the target field

})(source);

Hi Johannes

gs.log() should work.

Where are you looking for your log statements?

Is it the field mapping script or transform event script?

Hi Ashwinkumar,

I am checking for my log statements in the Script Log Statements under the System Log application. Yes this is a field mapping script.

Thanks for your response.

ok, I got it to work with the same script, no changes,in fact it was working all along I just was running it with incorrect data

Thanks,
