setWorkflow(false) not working in script

[AndyB5000]

I have a script that we use that allows us to quickly reclassify CIs, basically move them from one table to another, and I am using the line setWorkflow(false); to prevent the business rules from triggering, but for some reason it is not working and the BRs are firing anyways..

var queryStringCI = 'asset_tagINAF268729,AF268723,ADM00117,10794812,10794187,10657191,10657190,';
var CIchg = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');
CIchg.addEncodedQuery(queryStringCI);
CIchg.setLimit(10);
CIchg.query();
gs.info("----CMDB\t" + CIchg.getRowCount());
while(CIchg.next()){
CIchg.sys_class_name = 'cmdb_ci_ip_switch'; //table name of class changing too
CIchg.setWorkflow(false);
CIchg.update();
}

Thanks in advance for the assistance...

Hi,

Strange.

Seems you need to raise HI ticket

It is normally used in the format:

current.setWorkflow(false);

And is intended to prevent recursion happening when the following is used in a Business Rule:

current.update();

So as you are not running a "current.update();" you shouldn't really need to do anything to the workflow (which has a syntax error anyway, as it should be in camelcase with a W).

If I change the workflow line to current.setWorkflow(false); the script fails.

this has been confused..makes no sense.

Hi@AndyB5000 

use current.setWorkflow(false) in BR.

In fix script you can’t give current object directly.

I tried that, check the screenshot in my previous post.  Changing it to current.setWorkflow(false) does not work as the BR still triggers.
