Unable to delete record from Sys_object_source table

[Community Alums]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to delete all the records in sys_object_source table where reference CIs are in Retired status.

I am facing an issue while running below script in background
Issue- The below script does query the source record based on the sys_id found in CMDB. When you provide

hard coded value like var retiredCIs = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci');

retiredCIs.addEncodedQuery('sys_id=0199290f1bc470901b76cb392a4bcbb6'); then it works fine but I need to delete millions of records, so I was using below script which is not working. Can someone help me. geeting sourceRecords is undifined

Script:

// Get all retired CIs

var retiredCIs = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci'); 

retiredCIs.addQuery('install_status', '7');

retiredCIs.setLimit('10');

retiredCIs.query();

while(retiredCIs.next()) {

  var ciSysId = retiredCIs.getUniqueValue();

  // Get corresponding records from "sys_object_source" so that we can delete them.

  var sourceRecords = new GlideRecord('sys_object_source');

  sourceRecords.addQuery('target_sys_id', ciSysId);

  sourceRecords.setWorkflow(false);

  //sourceRecords.setLimit(10);

  sourceRecords.query();

  while(sourceRecords.next()) {

    gs.info("IAMIN Source record "+ sourceRecords.name + " Target CI "+ retiredCIs.sys_id);

    sourceRecords.deleteMultiple();

  }

}

@Community Alums 

did you try deleting 100 records first?
