How to get the record count in the while loop?

Hello,

I am trying to get the count of all record that matches the query condition. When I use the below script, the count is always being '1' even though there are 1+ records that matches the condition. I am I missing anything? Please suggest.

var count = 0;
var gr= new GlideAggregate('cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance');
gr.addAggregate('COUNT');
gr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', instances);//This variable holds 1 or more record sys ids
gr.addQuery('install_status',7);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
	instanceCount = gr.getAggregate('COUNT');
	gs.print(instanceCount);
	
}

This time I have 2 records that matched the condition
Output:
*** Script: 0
*** Script: 1
*** Script: 1
*** Script: 0

Expected Ouput: 2

My expectation is that these records are queried one after one that's the reason I am getting individual record's count. Is there any way to count all looped records and combine and output as 2? Thanks

here we go

 

var count=0;
var rcount;
var gr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_rel_ci');
gr.addQuery('child.sys_id','d53a14fddbd8330080e0a08a48961902');
gr.query();
if(gr.next())
{
gs.print(gr.parent.getDisplayValue());
var gr2 = new GlideRecord('cmdb_rel_ci');
gr2.addQuery('parent.sys_id',gr.parent);

gr2.query();
rcount=gr2.getRowCount();
while(gr2.next())
{
if(gr2.child.install_status== 7){
count++;
//gs.print(gr2.child.install_status);
}
}

}

if(rcount == count)
{

gs.print('hey harsh please update the database');

}
else
{
gs.print('no need to update the database');
}

are you doing it on PDI instance ? then i can have look into that.

 

anyway give another try

 

var instances =[];
var instCount;


var rel2 = new GlideRecord('cmdb_rel_ci');
rel2.addEncodedQuery("type=55c95bf6c0a8010e0118ec7056ebc54d^child.sys_class_name=cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance^parent.sys_class_name=cmdb_ci_database^parent.sys_id="+db+"");//db variable holds one database record 
rel2.query();
while(rel2.next()){
	instances.push(rel2.child);

	instCount = rel2.getRowCount();//this is giving me the correct count in this case 3 count


}
gs.log('length is :'+instances.length);
for(var i = 0;i<instances.length;i++){
	var inst = new GlideRecord('cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance');
	inst.addQuery('sys_id',instances[i]);
	inst.addQuery('install_status', '7');
	inst.query();
	while(inst.next()){
		gs.log('Count is:'+inst.getRowCount());//always gives me 1 as count 

		
	}
}

I am not doing it in the PDI instance. First log print 4 and last log did not print anything also if I remove the below query it gives me the right count.

inst.addQuery('sys_id',instances[i]);

 

can you do the manually filter on this "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance" with the sys id you received from the instances[i] and then validate the count are you getting one or two in the table (cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance) list.

Harshavardhan,

Below is the output that I am getting when I print instances[i].

*** Script: 49fb6ef8db80b3003eb73b98f496193a
*** Script: 49fb6ef8db80b3003eb73b98f496193a
*** Script: 49fb6ef8db80b3003eb73b98f496193a
*** Script: 49fb6ef8db80b3003eb73b98f496193a

you are getting same sysid

something wrong here , is it possible for have quick webex call ?
