How to kill flow using script and trigger it using script

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

im calling a client script that calls a script include and pass as a parameter a sys_id of a change_request.

How can I kill the current flow (not workflow) on the change_request and then trigger a new flow using his sys_id using using on the change_request

You can use the FlowAPI , working both scoped and global:

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-api-reference/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_referenc... 

Just use the .cancel(String contextId, String reason)  method. You just need the sys_id of the running flow and pass-it with a reason.

You can also find examples there:)

something like this

// get the flow context for this INC

var sysId = ''; // your CHG sysId
var flow = new GlideRecord("sys_flow_context");
flow.addQuery('name', 'myFlow'); // flow name
flow.addQuery('source_record', sysId);
flow.addEncodedQuery('stateINWAITING,IN_PROGRESS,QUEUED');
flow.query();
wifhile(flow.next()) {
    var gpa = new sn_ph.GlideProcessAutomation(flow.getValue('sys_id'));
    if (!gpa.isTerminated()) {
        //cancel the flow and provide the reason
        gpa.cancel('Cancelling this flow');
    }
}

try {
    var chg = new GlideRecord('change_request');
    if (chg.get(sysId)) {
        var inputs = {};
        inputs['current'] = chg; // GlideRecord of table:
        inputs['table_name'] = 'change_request';
        // Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground.
        // var timeout = ; //timeout in ms
        //sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow('global.test_flow', inputs, timeout)
        sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow('<flowName>', inputs); // give here complete flow name include scope name
    }
} catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.getMessage();
    gs.error(message);
}
