I want to send an email notification to the owner group of a CI (cmdb_ci).

In my form, I have variable that is a reference to cmdb_ci. If the user selects 'WAM admin', I want to be able to send the email notification to the owner group of thaT ci.

In line 05 there is mem.addQuery... why did you use 'group'.


It says "of all the records in this table, I only want the ones where the group field is the value of groupID (the same as the group in your support group field earlier.)



In line 08...I know you have to push the email members to the array but.. how do you know it will be mem.user.email.toString() ?   Like how do you know u have to use user   and email?


This is a concept known as dot-walking. It's a way to quickly traverse the relationships of reference fields and tables. I'm building an array of strings (email addresses.) By default, all fields are represented in memory as Javascript objects so I'm converting the email field to a string. That field is coming from the user record that is referenced by the mem record. mem.user is a sys_id to a record on sys_user. sys_user holds a user's profile details. I want the email address. That's what mem.user.email.toString() is doing.



In line 12... could you explain that line to me?


That's the line that actually tells the event engine to queue up the event "catalog.opening.dns.notification". The second parameter is the current record (which is the request item details, the third is your list of email address (converted from an array to a comma separated string), and the fourth is empty.

Hi Claudia,



The above script helps you to get the list of users of a group. You may add logger statement at line # 14 to see whats the value of   userList.



For the even to be created correctly, can you please make sure it has access to 'current' and correct event name is used?



Thanks


Antin


could you give me an example of a logger statement?


The event never gets created. I checked my event log and there is nothing.

What table are you triggering the business rule from? The CI table or the "form" you referenced first?



In my form, I have variable that is a reference to cmdb_ci


It is not   a business rule. I put my code inside of my run script.


The CI table is the cmdb_ci .
