transform script is not working

[Community Alums]

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 Tried running your script in background scripts and it runs just fine. Any specific issues you are facing with this script?

@Sandeep Rajput      this script not working when i am putting in the source transform map script, it is giving undefined return

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.
