Hi All,

We need to close all the tasks where short description of Task contain the string "Dupicate Change Task"

Basically if the Tasks associated with the change are   active and Short description = %Dupicate Change Task% then thease task should be closed then only system allow change to move to the next stage.

Need to do it using UI action.How to achive this.

Thanks in advance.

You can configure business rule on change_task to close change task with required description.


Also, you can move change to next stage after change task is closed in business rule script.



Regards,


Sachin

Hi Navneet,



You can pretty much do a GlideAjax call, check if there is any open records, if there is, abort the save and put up error message. Otherwise save.

Please check below sample code for checking any open tasks for change


You can put this code in script include and call this script include from UI action.


This is business rule code but you can tweak it to repalce with Glideobject .



var temp = 0;


var task = new GlideRecord('change_task');


task.addQuery('u_type','close');


task.addQuery('change_request',current.sys_id);


task.query();


if(task.next())


    {


    if(task.state == 1)


          {


         


          temp = 1;


    }


    else


          {


          temp = 0;


    }


    var cTask = new GlideRecord('change_task');


    cTask.addQuery('change_request',current.sys_id);


    cTask.addQuery('wf_activity','');


    cTask.addQuery('state',1);


    cTask.query();


    if(cTask.next())


          {


         


          temp = 1;


    }


   


    var cAssess = new GlideRecord('u_change_assessment');


    cAssess.addQuery('u_change_request', current.sys_id);


    cAssess.addQuery('state',1);


    cAssess.query();


    if(cAssess.next())


          {


         


          temp = 1;


    }


   


}


else


    {


    /*if(current.type != 'Emergency')


          {*/








          var task1 = new GlideRecord('change_task');


          task1.addQuery('u_type','implementation');


          task.addNotNullQuery('wf_activity');


          task1.addQuery('change_request',current.sys_id);


          task1.addQuery('state',3);


          task1.query();


          if(task1.next())


                {


                temp = 2;


          }


          else


                {


                temp = 0;


          }


/*    


}


    else


          {


          temp = 2;


    }


*/


}






if(temp == 1)


    {


    current.state = previous.state;


    gs.addInfoMessage("Change cannot be closed due to outstanding open task(s).");


    current.setAbortAction(true);


   


}




if(temp == 2)


    {


    current.state = previous.state;


    gs.addInfoMessage("Change has been implemented and can no longer be cancelled.");


    current.setAbortAction(true);


   


}
