Is there any way to run transform map automatically?

[Kapil20]

My requirement is, if i submit a request using one of the service catalog with the attachment excel file which needs to be upload into service now. After i submit a request with excel file it should trigger a particular transform map.

Thanks For the help.

Hi,

The Transform map will automatically run when the data is inserted into the Import Set Table.

Please refer the below link for info - Auto run a transform map

Hi Kapil,

Yes this is possible and here are the steps:

1) create a data source with some file as attachment xls, csv etc

2) create transform map, field maps etc as usual

3) create a schedule data import and attach this data source to this data import. keep it active false since you will be triggering it from workflow

4) in the workflow of RITM copy the attachment from RITM to the data source using GlideSysAttachment

GlideSysAttachment.copy('sc_req_item', current.sys_id, 'sys_data_source', '<dataSourceSysId>');

5) use below script in your workflow script to execute the data source

var schImp_GR = new GlideRecord('scheduled_import_set');
schImp_GR.addQuery('name','<NameOfDataImport>');
schImp_GR.query();
if(schImp_GR.next()){
SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow(schImp_GR); // this will work in global scope

//gs.executeNow(schImp_GR); // this will work in scoped app

}

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

In the above scenario there will be multiple attachments to the same Data source and not the latest attached will be loaded. Only if we delete the existing attachment on the data source and attach a new one then it picks the new attachment
