STEP 1: PRE-PLANNING: Get to know the tool you've just purchased and the resources available to you and your organization. Research IT! For tips on learning ServiceNOW and/or resources available. Review my post "5 Steps To Learning ServiceNOW, NOW!" Use IT! Most customers who've purchased ServiceNow will have at least a PROD and DEV instance available for there organization.

Workaround For GlideRecord SetWorkflow (false) Issue

Thanks for sharing Ahmed. Excellent info.

As part of the GlideRecord API comes the function setWorkflow(false) .

If you’ve never used this before, essentially this function switches off the running of any subsequent business rules or workflows. This is really useful in a number of scenarios, for example when you need to update a lot of records in bulk and do not want emails to be automatically sent out for each one.

I’ve been recently working on archiving and using the OOB implementation was just too slow for us (OOB was taking approximately 5 minutes to archive one incident and 5 tasks, my custom one now archive 150 incidents, 500 tasks, all audit records, journal records, attachments etc, in less than a minute).

But while doing this, I needed to delete records from one place in ServiceNow and put them somewhere else. I didn’t want it audited that I deleted these records nor did I want…

ServiceNow – How to control what comes back in the SOAP response with a View

TY! Good Stuff!

Techie Geek

Recently I have been getting a lot of questions and request about an old Knowledge presentation (concerning how we use views) to control a SOAP response. It may be best to blog it here and share.

First thing is first, lets create a special view on the incident table that only has number and short description and updated date. NOTE here: You want to create a view on the Incident Form if you are going to be getting an individual incident. There is a different list view when getting list. If you are getting list of incidents you would personalize the List Layout instead of the Form Layout in steps below.

Step 1: Open an Incident and Personalize Form Layout
Step 2: In the drop down section of the view select New (and give it a name).
Step 3: With your form view selected – pick the data you want…

Dealing with XML API – Parsing the SOAP response

Techie Geek

Not gonna really try and show off anything here – but the documentation for XML API is a bit foggy and I want to share this. I tried to use a few common XML API calls that are a bit of a challenge to find out about.

Lets pretend you get a SOAP response and you want to manually iterate through that response envelope that has this structure:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <s:Body>
      <ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://Schemas.SNResponse_RigData">
         <Status>Success</Status>
         <RigData>Whatever</RigData>
      </ns0:Root>
   </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Here are a few API calls you will need:

      this.fSoapDoc = new XMLDocument(requestXML);
      var soapBody = this.fSoapDoc.getNode("/Envelope/Body/Root");

      var nodelist = soapBody.getChildNodes();
      for (var i=0; i < nodelist.getLength(); i++) {
          var kidNode = nodelist.item(i);
          if (kidNode.getNodeType() == Packages.org.w3c.dom.Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
            var fieldName = Packages.com.glide.util.XMLUtil.getNodeNameNS(kidNode);
            var fieldValue = Packages.com.glide.util.XMLUtil.getAllText(kidNode);
            gs.log("FIELD NAME: " + fieldName, "cmaloy");
            gs.log("FIELD VALUE: " + fieldValue, "cmaloy");
          }         
      }

This is going to get the name and value of the Status…
