Can you turn off the BR's while running a background script?

[randrews]

I need to make a lot of changes to a table after moving it under the task table... is there a command you can put at the top of a background script to make it not run the business rules during the updates?

I would rather not have to disable them all.. then re-enable them all

You can use "gr.setWorkflow(false);" in your script to disable Business Rules.

Check out Mark Stanger (Crossfuze)'s ServiceNowGuru article - http://www.servicenowguru.com/scripting/gliderecord-query-cheat-sheet/

Look for the "setWorkflow" section.

The "autoSysFields" is a very useful feature as well.

Thanks that will help a TON!! i am toying with this in my sandbox before i do it in dev so i can then update all client scripts/br's and policies for the push to prod.. have a week or so to work on it.. but a bit of a pain!
