This is what the guidelines says when I click on that 'On Before' script. The link whihc you gave is not reflecting what is shown in the instance.. Can you please help.
/**
*
* Script executed for a given batch before calling the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE)
*
* The following variables are available to the script:
* 'input' - the array where each element of the input array is an object. Each object contains a status, reason, and payload.
* 'runId' - the current import set run id.
*
* Example:
*/
// (function(input, runId) {
// for (var i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
// // Skip all payloads which have a computer starting with name as 'TEST-'
// if (!isComputerNameValid(input[i].payload)) {
// input[i].status = 'SKIPPED';
// input[i].reason = 'Skipping IRE processing of this payload.';
// } else {
// // Add new value to items
// input[i].payload.items[0].values.short_description = 'Adding missing description';
// // Add a new relationship by passing a JSON object (Use unshift() to add a relationship at the beginning)
// // Similarly, any relation can be removed by using the pop() or shift() methods
// var relation = {
// 'parent': 0,
// 'child': 1,
// 'type': 'Runs on::Runs'
// };
// input[i].payload.relations.push(relation);
// // Update an existing reference item by passing a JSON object.
// // Similarly, the entire reference items array can also be updated e.g. input[i].payload.referenceItems = {...}
// input[i].payload.referenceItems[0] = {
// 'referenceField': 'software',
// 'referencedBy': 'internal_id2',
// 'referenced': 'internal_id1'
// };
// }
// }
// })(input, runId);
// function isComputerNameValid(payload) {
// for (var i = 0; i < payload.items.length; i++)
// if (payload.items[i].className == 'cmdb_ci_computer' && payload.items[i].values.name.startsWith('TEST-'))
// return false;
// return true;
// }
/**
* The following properties/functions are available for all parameters of type 'Array' inside the IRE payload e.g. items, relations, referenceItems, lookup and related:
* length - Returns the number of elements in an array
* push() - Add an item to the end of an array
* pop() - Remove an item from the end of an array
* shift() - Remove an item from the beginning of an array
* unshift() - Add an item to the beginning of an array
*
* Important points:
* 1) The before script is executed once per batch and not per payload. The input array elements contain all the payloads for a given batch.
* 2) Each element in the array has only 3 fields i.e. status, reason, and payload. Adding additional fields to the array elements might result in unexpected errors.
* 3) The 'status' can be set to 'SKIPPED' in order to skip a payload in this batch from further processing. Setting 'status' to any other value will be ignored by the RTE processor.
* 4) Optionally, a 'reason' can be set for skipping the payload. This will be the message on the import set run for this particular row.
* 5) To match the batch size after script execution, only the length property is available for input array e.g. input.length
* 6) Using any of the above functions e.g. push(), pop(), shift() and unshift() on input array directly will result in unexpected errors.
*
* Below is an example of an IRE input payload. There can be more fields/parameters depending on each use case. Refer to the ServiceNow Product Documentation for more examples on the IRE payload.
* {
* 'items': [
* {
* 'className': 'cmdb_ci_computer',
* 'values': {
* 'name': 'Macbook Pro 15',
* 'os_version': '5.1.2600',
* 'ram': '2048',
* 'disk_space': '1024'
* }
* }
* ]
* }
