Why can I not use the method "new GlideArchiveRecord().archive(current);" in a fix script?

[alecwelle1]

I am trying to archive all of our incidents and the archive rules will not allow me to do so because we had to restore all of them because we forgot a crucial step in our archiving process.  I was able to restore all of the records through a script, but am unable to rearchive them through a script after we have filled in a field for all of them.  Why does this method not work or the archive rule not work?

Hello Alec,

You need to pass the glideRecord object instead of current when doing it via Fix script

[Pradeep Sharma · Accepted solution]

Sample script : This will query all incident records. You can   filter the records by using addQuery() as per your req

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
gr.query();
while(gr.next())
{
new GlideArchiveRecord().archive(gr);
}

Note: Untested
