ServiceNow Learning 48: Usage of restoreLocation() function in GlideRecord in ServiceNow.

[Shamma Negi]

Hi All,

I found a very useful way to use restoreLocation() in GlideRecord scripting.

Script:

var incidentRecords = new GlideRecord('incident');
incidentRecords.addActiveQuery(); // same as .addQuery('active', true) but fancier 🙂
incidentRecords.setLimit(10); // did you know you could grab just the first x-number of records?
incidentRecords.orderBy('number'); // order ascending
incidentRecords.query();

// print off the first 10 incident numbers
while (incidentRecords.next()) {
gs.info('Incident number: {0}', incidentRecords.number);
}

// print off the 10th one again, we are still at the end
gs.info('Current Incident number: {0}', incidentRecords.number);

// reset the pointer to beginning (before the first record)
incidentRecords.restoreLocation();

// print off the first 10 incident numbers starting with the first
while (incidentRecords.next()) {
gs.info('Incident number: {0}', incidentRecords.number);
}

Hope it helps you.
