INCIDENT SLA TABLE CONTAIN LATEST RECORD

[kun1]

Hi All,

We have a requirement in which we have to show only the latest record as per the SLA on the incident sla table?

For eg:- I created an Incident "A" and incident A contain Response and Resolution SLA . So our Response SLA stopped when the condition met and a new Response SLA is attached. So, as per the requirement i want only record of the latest SLA on incident SLA table.

For better reference, Please look the screenshot:-

So as per the requirement,, i want only record which is highlighted.

Brian is correct that there's no direct way of doing this.  You will need to add another field to capture an additional data point whenever you have a duplicate 'task_sla' record entered.  Then you can easily filter what you want on this entry.  Here's how you can accomplish this.

1)  Create a new 'True/False' field on the 'task_sla' table named 'Last added (u_last_added)'.  Give it a default value of 'true'.  This field will only be updated by the system so you can also mark it as 'Read only' in the dictionary.  This is the field you'll be able to filter on to only show the latest SLA per type.  You'll be able to filter and show 'task_sla' records where this field is 'true'.

2)  Create a new business rule on the 'task_sla' table with the following settings...

Name: Update 'Last added' SLA

When: After

Insert: True

Advanced: True

Condition: !current.task.nil() && !current.sla.nil()

Script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
	// Find the 'Last added' SLA for this task/sla combination and mark it
    var tsla = new GlideRecord('task_sla');
	tsla.addQuery('task', current.task);
	tsla.addQuery('sla', current.sla);
	tsla.addQuery('u_last_added', true);
	tsla.addQuery('sys_id', '!=', current.sys_id);
	tsla.query();
	if (tsla.next()) {
		tsla.u_last_added = false; // Change the 'u_last_added' field to 'false'
		tsla.autoSysFields(false); // Don't update time stamps
		tsla.setWorkflow(false); // Don't run any business rules
		tsla.update();
	}
})(current, previous);

3)  The above will solve the problem for SLAs added in the future, but you will also need to run a one-time background script to update any existing data.  You can run the following script from the 'Scripts -> Background' module.  You'll be updating every 'task_sla' record in your system (no business rules or time stamps will be applied) so proceed with caution and test thoroughly!

var lastTask = '';
var lastsla = '';
// Query all 'task_sla' records
var allsla = new GlideRecord('task_sla');
// Order by task and sla, then by 'sys_created_on' to group correctly
allsla.orderBy('task');
allsla.orderBy('sla');
allsla.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');
allsla.query();
while (allsla.next()) {
    allsla.u_last_added = false;
    // Find the 'Last added' SLA for this task/sla combination and mark it
    if ((allsla.task != lastTask) || (allsla.sla != lastsla)) {
        lastTask = allsla.task.toString();
        lastsla = allsla.sla.toString();
        allsla.u_last_added = true; // Change the 'u_last_added' field to 'true'
    }
    allsla.autoSysFields(false); // Don't update time stamps
    allsla.setWorkflow(false); // Don't run any business rules
    allsla.update();
}
