How can you change the Class on an Asset Record from Asset to Hardware?

[Teri Bobst]

We have several Hardware records that were incorrectly created under the base class: Assets. I need to move these to the Hardware Class but that field is not editable, even at an ADMIN level.

Does anyone know a way to change these records?

Dictionary Info: alm_asset.sys_class_name

Table alm_asset Field sys_class_name Type sys_class_name

You can write a background script and update the class value.

var gr = new GlideRecord("alm_asset");

gr.addQuery(Record sys ids or query to all those records which needs to be modified);

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

gr.sys_class_name = "alm_hardware";

gr.update();

}

If the script works in Dev, move the code to Prod through a Fix Script. and Run it adhoc in Production.

Rahul
