Hi all,
I am facing a weird issue (or maybe I am wrong).
I am trying to run a simple background script to retrieve field values from the tables Asset and Hardware (lets say for example install_status), but the system always return the value "undefined".
Here is my script :
var myQuery = 'u_configurationLIKE_MANUEL';
var gr = new GlideRecord("alm_asset");
gr.addEncodedQuery(myQuery);
gr.query();
gs.print('count :'+ gr.getRowCount());
if (gr.next()) {
gs.print("status: "+ gr.install_status);
}
The first "gs.print" returns 23 (what is expected) but the second returns undefined.
If I replace install_status by sys_id, it works fine !!
If I take any other field I always get "undefined" value.
I thought maybe it's due to an ACL, but when I have a look to the Asset list I can see all the fields which confirms that it's not due to an ACL issue.
If I run a similar query for any other table, it works fine.
Any idea guys ? is it something specific to Asset management ?
Thank you in advance
Best regards,
Hamza

The solution is very very simple !!!
Simply do not use "gr" as a variable name in a GlideRecord !!
Thank you guys for your help !!
Best regards,
Hamza

Hi Hamza,
Try this:
var myQuery = 'u_configurationLIKE_MANUEL';
var gr = new GlideRecord("alm_asset");
gr.addEncodedQuery(myQuery);
gr.query();
gs.print('count :'+ gr.getRowCount());
if (gr.next()) {
gs.print("status: "+ gr.getValue('install_status'));
}
I tested it and got a "1".

Hi Chuck,
TTxs a lot for your answer.
Unfortunately it returns "null" which is wrong because it should return a valid value

Hi Hamza,
Can you remove the encoded query statement for testing purpose and check what is the output once.
