Dynamically create catalog tasks based on list collector selections

[troys]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to create a catalog task for each selection chosen in a list collector.

I only have 2 variables: sc_short_desc and sc_site (which is a list collector)

So if a user choses 3 sites in the list collector, then I would like 3 catalog tasks raised:

Catalog task 1: short description and site 1

Catalog task 2: short description and site 2

Catalog task 3: short description and site 3

I am assuming you do this in the workflow using Run Script.   I would also like to wait for all of the catalog tasks to be completed before moving on to the next part of the workflow.

I am new to ServiceNow scripting so any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Troy

The items selected in a List Collector variable are stored in a comma separated string such as "2a826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5de7,46c6f9efa9fe198101ddf5eed9adf6e7".

You will have to use this to get sc_site.

Query on Catalog task table with your RITM as parent in wait for condition activity. Set workflow.scratchpad to sys_id of TASK while creating it and then use scratchpad value in wait for condition to get the task.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply D,

I was hoping for a bit of sample code to mess around with to automatically create the tasks with the individual sites as my java scripting skills are very limited to non-existent.   Is anyone able to help?

Cheers

After trolling through some other threads I have managed to create the following script which dynamically creates multiple catalog tasks depending on how many sites are chosen in the list collector:

var array1 =[];

array1 = current.variables.sc_site.toString();

var array2 = [];

array2 = array1.split(',');

var Length = array2.length;

for (var i =0; i< Length; i++){

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

gr.initialize();

gr.request_item = current.sys_id;

gr.short_description = current.variables.sc_short_desc;

gr.assignment_group = '92c515ed4fc19e006a6aa90f0310c7ff';

gr.cmdb_ci = '3dcb98e34ff3de8424c49a701310c7c7';

gr.insert();

if(gr.next());

}

Next step is to figure out how to add to the script to pass the sc_site variable over to the individual catalog tasks.   Any suggestions?
