Transform Script to Change value for specific users

[David Casper]

I have a scheduled data import, using a transform map, to import our users no a daily basis. One of the included fields is 'Enabled' (source) to update the 'Active' (target) field in ServiceNow.

The need is to have a script that looks for a handful of users and changes the Enabled or Active value for them, but only them. I'm a beginner when it comes to programming and have found that this could be done with a onBefore script or maybe a source script.

Latest test is with an onBefore which is allowing the transform to run, but the value is not changing. 

(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target /*undefined onStart*/ ) {

if(source.login == 'nhesgz');
target.active = false;

})(source, map, log, target);

Looking for the best way to do this. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I tried that script under Transform scripts, no errors, the logs showed the logins correctly, but the logins listed were still active. 

Is there a possibility that a existing business rule is overriding this?

Can you try this with onStart() transform script?

Users are still active 😞 No errors that I could see though.

Can we give try with below script in onStart()

(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target /*undefined onStart*/ ) {
	// Add your code here
	var myuserlist = 'nhesgz,teccmm,jpfdjg,CCSRLB,tecrlc,mhhsgx,nrslkz,teckll,teckxb,tecldl,tecdlc';
	var myuserlistarray = myuserlist.split(',');
	for(var i = 0; i<myuserlistarray.length; i++){
		var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
		gr.get('user_name', myuserlistarray[i]);
		gr.active = false;
		gr.update();
	}
})(source, map, log, target);

Users were still active, but a handful of them were locked out this time.
