RTE transforms template scripts included within the Integration Commons for CMDB app
The Robust Transform Engine (RTE) transforms are templated operations included within the Integration Commons for CMDB (sn_cmdb_int_util) store app.
The following script-based RTE transforms are available in the Integration Commons for CMDB app.
CI Lookup Operation
Use to get the value of a field on an existing configuration item (CI) in the CMDB by the source native key.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | Robust Transform Engine CI Lookup Operation [sn_cmdb_int_util_ci_lookup_operation] |
| Input field | source_sys_rte_eb_field
Input in order is:
The operation queries the Source [sys_object_source] table for the discovery source and the associated source native key, and then returns the CI Field value of the matching record in the target table and the associated target sys ID. |
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is the value of the field name on the CI matched by the source native key lookup or an empty string if there is no match. |
The Source [sys_object_source] table is queried using the discovery source and source native key ordering by the last scan. The table iterates through the results of the query and queries the target table by the target sys ID until a valid CI is found. After a valid CI is found, the operation returns the value of the CI Field on the matching CI.
| Discovery Source | Source Native Key | CI Field | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| ServiceNow | ServiceNow|||COMPUTER-NAME|||Computer-01 | name | Computer-01 |
Cleanse Company
Use to cleanse hardware manufacturer name and add the record to the Company [core_company] table to populate a reference, when the manufacturer is not linked to a model or software (cpu_manufacturer).
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | Robust Transform Engine Entity Cleanse Company Operation [sn_cmdb_int_util_cleanse_company_operation] |
| Input field | source_sys_rte_eb_field
Input is a company/manufacturer name. |
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is the resulting sys_id and name of the company in core_company, concatenated by triple pipe (|||). |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationHardwareModelUtil().cleanseCompany(input) |
If a matching record does not exist, then a new record is created in core_company so the return always includes a sys_id and name (unless the input is empty or invalid). The name is cleansed and a fuzzy lookup is done via the CmdbIntegrationCompanyModelUtil script include before the MakeAndModelJS platform API is called.
| Input | Result |

First Non Null Value
Use when you have a list of fields providing similar information that must map to a single field and you want to rank the order in which they can provide those values.
For Example Internally in SolarWinds, there is a hierarchy of tables that are join. In one example, a computer’s name could come from the child most table or any of that tables parents but each of those is a separate field in the pull. Starting with the most specific table, the values are searched for the first instance of a name value.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | sn_cmdb_int_util_first_non_null_operation |
| Input fields | source_sys_rte_eb_fields
Input is a list of fields of any length. |
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is the value from the first field in the list that doesn’t have a null (or empty) value. |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationFirstNonNullValueUtil().firstNonNullValue(batch[i]) |
| Field 1 | Field 2 | Field 3 | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| foo | foo2 | foo |
Process Name, Domain, FQDN, DNS set
Use when the source provides name, domain, FQDN, or DNS information. Can be used for only a subset of these (if for example, the source only provides name and domain). In the case that a source only provides fields that are lower in the input list (FQDN) the CmdbIntegrationHardwareNameUtil script include can be called from a script operation to minimize having to create empty dummy fields.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | sn_cmdb_int_util_process_name_set_operation |
| Input fields | source_sys_rte_eb_fields
Takes up to four Input fieldss (any additional fields are ignored), in the following order:
You don't have to provide all four input values, but you must provide those values in the specified order. If for example, you only want to cleanse domain, you must provide a name attribute, even it if empty. |
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is a concatenated set of values in the same order, using a triple pipe (|||): {name}|||{domain}|||{fqdn}|||{dns} |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationHardwareNameUtil().processNameDomainFqdnDnsSet(name, domain, fqdn, dns) |
FQDN and DNS are first processed to see if their formats are correct. FQDN has an additional discovery regex it must pass (via properties): glide.discovery.fqdn.regex – default :
^([^.]+)\\.((?:[^.]+\\.)+[^.]+)$
- glide.discovery.hostname.case – default: No change. Can be set to ‘Lower case’, ‘Upper case’, ‘No change’
- glide.discovery.hostname.include_domain – default: false. If ‘true’ the domain is added to the final name value
| Name | Domain | FQDN | DNS | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| myName | other.net | otherName.other.net | mycomp.servicenow.com | myName|||other.net|||otherName.other.net|||mycomp.servicenow.com |
| na | other.net | otherName.other.net | mycomp.servicenow.com | otherName|||other.net|||otherName.other.net|||mycomp.servicenow.com |
| servicenow.com | |||servicenow.com|||||| | |||
| name.servicenow.com | name|||servicenow.com|||name.servicenow.com|||name.servicenow.com | |||
| name.servicenow.com | name|||servicenow.com|||name.servicenow.com||| | |||

| name | servicenow.com | name|||servicenow.com|||name.servicenow.com||| |
Process FQDN
Use when the source provides a suspected FQDN value but no other naming fields such as name, domain, or DNS.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | sn_cmdb_int_util_process_fqdn_operation |
| Input fields | source_sys_rte_eb_field
Input is a single field containing an FQDN. |
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is a concatenated set of values in the same order using a triple pipe (|||): {name}|||{domain}|||{fqdn}|||{dns} |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationHardwareNameUtil().processNameDomainFqdnDnsSet('’, '’, fqdn, '’) |
The processing follows the same logic as the ‘Process Name, Domain, FQDN, DNS set’ transform except that only FQDN is used as an input.
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| mycomputer.servicenow.com | mycomputer|||servicenow.com|||mycomputer.servicenow.com||| |
Scale Unit
Use when the source has numerical inputs that must be scaled. The source does not always provide the current units so it may be required to calculate or guess the units being provided. The target units depend on the field being targeted in the CMDB.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | sn_cmdb_int_util_scale_unit_operation |
| Input fields | source_sys_rte_eb_fields
Inputs in order are:
|
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is the input value scaled from the current units to the target units. If no units are found for the current units, then the input value is returned. If no current or target units are found the input is returned as the output. |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationScaleUnitUtil().scaleUnits(input_value, input_unit, output_unit) |

Software Bundle ID Lookup
Use when a source, such as Jamf, does not provide the software publisher but does provide a Mac software bundle ID. Software Bundle ID Lookup looks up records in the Bundleid Lookup [sn-cmdb_int_util_bundleid_lookup] table by bundle_id. If a record with the specified bundle_id exists, it extracts the respective software publisher. Otherwise, it creates a new record which will be queried the next time the Lookup Mac Software Bundle IDs data source runs.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Table | sn_cmdb_int_util_software_bundle_id_lookup_operation |
| Input fields |
|
| Output field | target_sys_rte_eb_field
Output is the resulting artist name, track name, and seller name, all concatenated by a triple pipe (|||), or an empty string if no match is found. |
| Script include function | sn_cmdb_int_util.CmdbIntegrationSoftwareBundleIdLookup. lookupSoftware(bundleId) |
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| Input Field 1: com.microsoft.Word | Microsoft Corporation|||Microsoft Word||| Microsoft Corporation |
User Lookup
- The User Name matching the user_name attribute.
- The Email matching the email attribute.
- If nothing is matching, it returns empty.
| Details | |
|---|---|
