setGroup(false): What is exact use of this method? Beacause of this my output also changes

[IAmIshan]

If I comment this method(setWorkflow), then my other methods output gets wrong.....

var ga = new GlideAggregate('u_empdata');
ga.addAggregate('SUM', 'u_salary');
ga.addAggregate('COUNT','u_salary');
ga.addAggregate('AVG', 'u_salary');
ga.addAggregate('MIN', 'u_salary');
ga.addAggregate('MAX', 'u_salary');

//ga.setGroup(false);
ga.query();
if (ga.next()) {
gs.log('Total: ' + ga.getAggregate('SUM', 'u_salary'));
 gs.log('Num: ' + ga.getAggregate('COUNT', null));
gs.log('Average: ' + ga.getAggregate('AVG', 'u_salary'));
gs.log('Min: ' + ga.getAggregate('MIN', 'u_salary'));
gs.log('Max: ' + ga.getAggregate('MAX', 'u_salary') + '\n');
}

This is to tell the Ajax that the results should be grouped. 

You can see the documentation for this method here: https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/orlando/server/no-namespace/c_GlideAggregate...

hi,

the reason to setWorkflow(false) is 

1. when working on incident or any other custom table, there are chances that in background lot of Workflows might be executing.

so, If particular workflow is active at this time, it may manipulate our answer. this hampers our solution.

hope, this solves your doubt..

Thank you
