Hi All, 

 

Could you please help me with the transform map script so that it works properly

 

 

 
answer = (function transformEntry(source) {
    var owners = source.u_owner_name || '';  
    if (!owners) {
        gs.info('TM Owners empty');
        return '';
    }

    var arr = owners.split(',');
    gs.info('TM Owners tokens=' + arr.length);

    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        var userVal = (arr[i] || '').trim();
        if (!userVal) continue;

        var userGR = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        userGR.addQuery('user_name', userVal);
        userGR.setLimit(1);
        userGR.query();

        if (userGR.next()) {
            gs.info('TM Matched user_name=' + userVal + ' -> ' + userGR.getDisplayValue());
           
            return userGR.name;
        } else {
            gs.info('TM No match for user_name=' + userVal);
        }
    }

   

    })(source);

@Community Alums Could you please try the following.

 

answer = (function transformEntry(source) {
    var owners = source.u_owner_name+'' || ' ';  
    if (!owners) {
        gs.info('TM Owners empty');
        return '';
    }
 

    var arr = owners.split(',');
    gs.info('TM Owners tokens=' + arr.length);
 

    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        var userVal = (arr[i] || '').trim();
        if (!userVal) continue;
 

        var userGR = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        userGR.addQuery('user_name', userVal);
        userGR.setLimit(1);
        userGR.query();
 

        if (userGR.next()) {
            gs.info('TM Matched user_name=' + userVal + ' -> ' + userGR.getDisplayValue());
           
            return userGR.name.toString();
        } else {
            gs.info('TM No match for user_name=' + userVal);
        }
    }
 

   
 

    })(source);

 

Here I have replaced the line return userGR.name; with return userGR.name.toString(); ideally the string conversion should force the value to be retained.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Community Alums,

 

can you possibly explain what's wrong with your code? it's not executed or the result is not staisfactory? It needs some context to give you meaningful response, pasting a random code is not sufficient.... :((

 

 

EDIT:

And what is supposed to be the || '' part in

var owners = source.u_owner_name || '';

 

What do the logs give you? Shouldn't it be just "var owners = source.u_owner_name;"???

Hi @Community Alums ,

Can you please let me know what you're getting once you're loading or running this data (I mean which log/info message the script is populating or it's not running at all). 

Also, If you could share a sample data/obj of how the owners array/object is going to look like it'll be easy for me to test more & provide you with a fix soon. 

where are you writing this script? Is it in the transform map run script or transform script(before, after..) or field mapping source script?

@MadhanMaddy  :this script is giving undefined output till this line     gs.info('TM Owners tokens=' + arr.length); it is working but it is not going to GlideRecord

 

 

answer = (function transformEntry(source) {
    var owners = source.u_owner_name || ' ';  
    if (!owners) {
        gs.info('TM Owners empty');
        return '';
    }

 

    var arr = owners.split(',');
    gs.info('TM Owners tokens=' + arr.length);

 

    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        var userVal = (arr[i] || '').trim();
        if (!userVal) continue;

 

        var userGR = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        userGR.addQuery('user_name', userVal);
        userGR.setLimit(1);
        userGR.query();

 

        if (userGR.next()) {
            gs.info('TM Matched user_name=' + userVal + ' -> ' + userGR.getDisplayValue());
           
            return userGR.name;
        } else {
            gs.info('TM No match for user_name=' + userVal);
        }
    }

 

   

 

    })(source);
