move business rule from global to application scope

gflewis · ‎01-26-2016

I have a business rule on a table that is owned by an application. The scope of the business rule is global (sys_scope=='global'). How can I change it to application scope?

you can use background scripts to do that:

var br = new GlideRecord('<business rule table>');

br.get('<sys_id of your BR>');

br.sys_scope = '<your app scope>';

br.update();

ServiceNow doesn't let you move Global Scope assets to an individual application because the Scoped API is a subset of the Global API, so moving it could break your code.

You really need to recreate the business rule in the application and re-write the code using the scoped API.

Thanks Paul Morris for the explanation and Mike Allen for a workaround to circumvent the system.
