Protection Policy for Script Include

[snow_hard252]

Hi

I have accidentally set the Protection Policy of a Script Include to Protected, it now wouldn't allow me to make any changes

on script include form.Though I have the admin rights on the instance(Fuji version).

Can somebody tell me how to change this Protection policy ?

Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Thanks for the resonance, I hope it would also cause the error if we try using the script bv script background module.

I was able to update the value via background script. I might need to check with the team on this one. Ideally, the script should have thrown an error.

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_properties');

gr.addQuery('sys_id','3194ef10371120004f6a80f7bcbe5da2');

gr.query();

while(gr.next())

{

gr.value = true;

gr.setWorkflow(false);

gr.update();

}

cool seems to be loop hole.

Thanks,

It certainly is a case of 'just because you can doesn't mean you should'.

Faced an issue with a Script Include from another Application scope cloned (Insert/Stay) into the Global scope. The Application scope was correctly changed to global, however the policy was accidentally copied across. With a background script I was able to remove the protection. Not recommended to perform this for the out of the box protected script includes to avoid upgrade issues.

Script used:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_script_include');
if (gr.get('ADD-SYS-ID-OF-YOUR_SCRIPT-INCLUDE')) {
    gs.print('found Script Include' + gr.name);
    gr.sys_policy = ''; //Just blank the protection
    gr.update();
}
