CMDB: Consider Script in Transform Map while using "Identification and Reconciliation framework"

[MarcB1]

Hi

I added the code from https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=geneva&id=r_CMDBTransformUtil-CMDBTransformUtil   to a "onBefore" Transform Map Script.

It workes very well, but unfortunately it ignores the Transform Map Script itself (the onBefore works fine)

In the Script I usually enrich various CI attributes based on fields I read from SCCM. e.g. set Company based on the Domain Name.

Any advice?

BTW: very good examples https://community.servicenow.com/docs/DOC-6808

Marc,

In your Onbefore script, you have ignore= true so it will not run any transform

Hi Mani,

Even when I add the code inside the Transform Map Script at the end, it ignores the enriched "target" object.

The reason might be, "target" is not a parameter for the function

// Call CMDB API to do Identification and Reconciliation of current row

  var cmdbUtil = new CMDBTransformUtil();

  cmdbUtil.identifyAndReconcile(source, map, log);

  ignore = true;

--> I had a look at the CMDBTransformUtil Script Include, it seems that only "field to field" mapping is currently supported.

Marc,

Did you get a workaround for this issue where I am not able to enrich the target with the runscript. Putting everything before calling the CMDBTransformUtil did not work either. The other thing I noticed is, even with   field mapping, I was not able to transform the location field. Is there an exception for reference field mapping while using the Identification and Reconciliation framework?

Hi Sandesh

I have no workaround, we upgrade to Jakarta very soon where it's supported.
