how to use if inside while loop

[Priya75]

Hi All,

My code is just updating the else condition if the value is matched. i want to give the error message as well.

var server = request.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < server.length; i++)

{
var gr = new GlideRecord("u_server_details");
gr.addQuery("u_server_name.name", server[i].trim());
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
if (!gr.next()){
response.setStatus(400);
respObj.body = {
"message": "server details are not updated",
"detail": "faliure",
};
}
else{
response.setStatus(200);
gr.patch_date = requestTime;
gr.update();



respObj.body = {
"message": "Server Details are updated",
"detail": "Success",
};
}

}
}

next question

do you want to show error message containing the name of servers not found in table?

something like this and enhance it further

var notFoundServers = [];
var foundServers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < server.length; i++)
{
	var gr = new GlideRecord("u_server_details");
	gr.addQuery("u_server_name.name", server[i].trim());
	gr.setLimit(1);
	gr.query();
	if (!gr.next()){
		notFoundServers.push(server[i].trim().toString());
	}
	else{
		gr.next();
		gr.patch_date = requestTime;
		gr.update();
		foundServers.push(server[i].trim().toString());
	}
}

if(failedServers.length > 0){
	response.setStatus(200);
	respObj.body = {
		"message": "Server Details are updated for " + foundServers.toString(),
		"detail": "Success",
	};
}
else{
	response.setStatus(400);
	respObj.body = {
		"message": "server details are not updated for " + notFoundServers.toString(),
		"detail": "faliure",
	};
}

Could you explain why are you using

if(failedServers.length > 0

[Priya75]

I want to give error, even if one server is not updated. 

this shows 200 status for invalid servers also.
