Disable Audit when making changes to the fields in change_request table

[PraveenPadmanab]

Hi,

I am writing a script to make changes to the fields of change_request table. As this table is audited, all the changes are getting recorded and displayed in the Activity Formatter.

I need to avoid the changes to get audited in the table. Please let me know how i can accomplish this through scripting.

Thanks,
Praveen

The only way to avoid auditing is to turn off GlideRecord's workflow for the update. This is done in script like so:

var gr = new GlideRecord("change_request");
gr.addQuery(your query here);
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
  gr.setWorkflow(false);
  gr.u_your_field = some_value;
  gr.update();
}

And if you want to not update the "Updated" and "Updated by" fields, you can add gr.autoSysFields(false) to the script as well.
