Update rows in Database view

Hi All,

I have created a database view to generate report for all Open Request where RITMs are closed. Could anyone of you please let me know whether there is a simple and safe way to do update on these Request rows Or do I need to create separate background script to update these Request row.

Quick reply must be appreciated.

This depends on what you want to update and how many records.


If it's a lot of rows, then yes, probably a background script.


You might also want to use the two below lines:


gr.setWorkflow(false); //don't trigger BR or any notifications


gr.autoSysFields(false);   //do not update system fields

Is it one time update or do you want to run a schedule job to check the REQ and then update it ?


for one time,you can run a background script with the recommendation above.


For scheduled script run, You can run same script with some modification in schedule script job.
