Is there a way to bulk publish items to the Service Catalog?

[Annemarie Long]

Good afternoon,

Is there a way to publish multiple Vendor Catalog Items to the Service Catalog simultaneously?

I am transferring 10k+ hardware models from our old asset tracking system to HAM. I have used import sets to create both the Hardware Models and the Vendor Catalog Items for all 10K+ items. However, in order for any of these lines to appear in the Service Catalog, I have to first click the "Publish to Hardware Catalog" related link on each item. Is there a way to do all 10k+ at once? They are all getting published to the same Hardware Category.

Even if there is not a solution for all 10k at once, any tips on how to speed up the process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You'd have to script it, model after the logic in the publish_to_product_catalog UI Page.

//Script would look something like this

var sc_category = '';  //the catalog category
var type = 'model';  
var catalog = 'hardware';

var gr = new GlideRecord('cmdb_model');
gr.addQuery(); //limit to the models you want to do
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){

gr.product_catalog_item = (new ProductCatalogUtils()).createProductCatalog(gr, sc_category, type, catalog);
gr.update();
}
