IRE not being executed while using importSet using onBefore transform script

[gaurav72]

Hi All,

I am using onBefore transform script to implement IRE using below code to identify and ignore duplicate CI.

(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target ) {
	log.info("Status Log ImpSet");
	var cmdbUtilIRE = new global.CMDBTransformUtil();
	cmdbUtilIRE.setDataSource('ImportSet');
    cmdbUtilIRE.identifyAndReconcileEnhanced(source, map, log);
    ignore = true;

    if (cmdbUtilIRE.hasError()) {
        var errorMessage = cmdbUtilIRE.getError();
		log.info('Error: ' + errorMessage);
        log.error(errorMessage);
    } else {
        log.info('IE Output Payload: ' + cmdbUtilIRE.getOutputPayload());
        log.info('Imported CI: ' + cmdbUtilIRE.getOutputRecordSysId());
    }

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

When I run the transform I do not see any logs from CMDBTransformUtil , below is the import set logs 

What would be the possible cause can someone please put some light into this to resolve it.?

I don't know if I can guess at the cause of this without further information, but on a related note have you investigated IntegrationHub ETL for importing your CIs?  It takes a bit to get acquainted with but it is a much more flexible and reliable method of importing your CI source data using IRE.  It is the preferred method for all CMDB imports, and I no longer even bother creating standard transform maps for CMDB data source imports.  I would strongly recommend looking into this, because ultimately it will save you time and headaches.

Thanks Paul I will surely give it a try !

I expect some kind of exception might be occuring to cause the code to exit. Suggest you wrap the whole thing in a try - catch block and see if you get more detail?

(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target ) {

	try{
		log.info("Status Log ImpSet");
		var cmdbUtilIRE = new global.CMDBTransformUtil();
		cmdbUtilIRE.setDataSource('ImportSet');
		cmdbUtilIRE.identifyAndReconcileEnhanced(source, map, log);
		ignore = true;

		if (cmdbUtilIRE.hasError()) {
			var errorMessage = cmdbUtilIRE.getError();
			log.info('Error: ' + errorMessage);
			log.error(errorMessage);
		} else {
			log.info('IE Output Payload: ' + cmdbUtilIRE.getOutputPayload());
			log.info('Imported CI: ' + cmdbUtilIRE.getOutputRecordSysId());
		}
	} catch (err){
		log.error("Caught Error\n" + err);
	}

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

Hope this helps,

Richard

Thanks much Richard!

I see an "Catch Error :TypeError: undefined is not a function." after apply try n catch.

Creating CMDBTransformUtil itself is giving the error.

Is this the correct way to call ?
