Insert inside gliderecord next loop on same table

[Arnoud Kooi]

As an answer to another question I have created a script.

The idea is to create placeholder records for the sys_choice table in other languages.

But it seems i can not do inserts on the same table i'm looping via a GlideRecord.

The base gr GlideRecord has a rowcount of about 4000, but after a first insert using the ins variable, it drops to around 30.

Is this a known limitation of the GlideRecord API, or am I doing something wrong?

var langs = ['es','ja','zh']; //define languages in array   
//query all english records   
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_choice');   
gr.addQuery("language","en");   
gr.orderBy('name');   
gr.setLimit(10000);
gr.query();   
var cnt = 0;
var cntb = 0;
var cntc = 0;
while (gr.next()) {   
cnt = cnt+1
       var myLangs = langs.slice(); //clone array   
       var label = "#"+gr.getValue("label");   
       var sys_id = gr.getValue("sys_id")   
       //query for existing translations   
       var q = new GlideRecord('sys_choice');   
       q.addEncodedQuery("language!=en");   
       q.addQuery("table",gr.getValue("table"));   
       q.addQuery("element",gr.getValue("element"));   
       q.addQuery("value",gr.getValue("value"));   
       q.orderBy('name');   
       q.query();   
       while (q.next()) { //remove existing languages from array   
             cntb = cntb+1
           var idx = myLangs.indexOf(q.getValue('language'));   
           if (idx >= 0)   
               myLangs.splice(idx, 1);         
       }   
       //insert new records for remaining tables   
   for (var i = 0; i< myLangs.length;i++ ){   
       cntc = cntc+1
               var ins = new GlideRecord('sys_choice');       
           ins.initialize();
           ins.name = gr.getValue("name");
           ins.element = gr.getValue("element");
           ins.value = gr.getValue("value");
           ins.inactive = gr.getValue("inactive");
           ins.sequence = gr.getValue("sequence");
           ins.dependent_value = gr.getValue("dependent_value");
           ins.hint = gr.getValue("hint");
           ins.language = myLangs[i];   
           ins.label = label; 
           ins.insert();   
       } 
     //gs.print("a" + cnt);
   //gs.print("br" + gr.getRowCount());
   //gs.print("b" + cntb);
   //gs.print("c" + cntc);
}

Hey Arnoud,

sorry to see this one so late. I havent tested with such huge amount, but this might help you somehow :

function tbl(){
  var rec2, count = 0;
  var rec = rec2 = new GlideRecord('incident');
  //rec.addActiveQuery();
  rec.query();
  while(rec.next()){
       rep(rec);
  }
  
}


function rep(rec){
    var rec2 = new GlideRecord('incident');
    rec2.initialize();
    rec2.number = rec.number;
    rec2.caller_id = rec.caller_id;
    rec2.category = rec.category;
    rec2.insert();
    //gs.addInfoMEsasge("Conter is " + count);
}

tbl()

Cheers,

Joro
