Recently a respected and very knowledgeable colleague of mine posted an article about finding specific information in the ServiceNow Wiki.
Wonderful, Wiki is a great source for information, but what if the specifics you are searching for are not available from Wiki?
Let me give you an example….
Wiki says the following:
| Variable name | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| log | Function | The log object for the current import run. For example, log.info( STRING ), log.warn( STRING ), log.error( STRING ) |
log.info(“An error has occurred”) log.warn(“An error has occurred”) log.error(“An error has occurred”) |
But what can the log object do more for you??
Well, check the following:
| Method | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| info warn error |
Function | log.info(STRING msg, STRING source) log.warn(STRING msg, STRING source) log.error(STRING msg, STRING source) |
log.info(“An error has occurred”, “SCCM”) log.warn(“An error has occurred”, “SCCM”) log.error(“An error has occurred”, “SCCM”) |
| Method | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| rowInfo rowWarn rowError |
Function | log.rowInfo(STRING msg, STRING importRowId) log.rowWarn(STRING msg, STRING importRowId) log.rowError(STRING msg, STRING importRowId) This links the log to the specified Import Row sys_id |
log.info(“An error has occurred”, source.sys_id.toString()) log.warn(“An error has occurred”, source.sys_id.toString()) log.error(“An error has occurred”, source.sys_id.toString()) |
| Method | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| setImportSetRow | Function | log.setImportSetRow(STRING importRowID)
Set all future log entries to the specified Import Row sys_id. |
In the Transformap script use: log.setImportSetRow(source.sys_id.toString()); |
| Method | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| getImportRunHistory | Function | log.getImportRunHistory(STRING importRunID)
Get the current Import Run sys_id |
Send the current Import Run as an argument to an event. var script = ‘var sr = new SCCMSoftwareReconciler(“‘ + computerGr.sys_id + ‘”,”‘ + id + ‘”,”‘ + import_set.sys_id + ‘”,”‘ + log.getImportRunHistory() +’”);’; script += ‘\n’ + ‘sr.run();’; |
| Method | Type | Description | Usage Example |
| setImportRunHistory | Function | log.setImportRunHistory(STRING importRowID)
Link the log to the specified import Run sys_id |
Link the log to the specified Import RunSCCMSoftwareReconciler.prototype = { initialize: function(computerSysID, swID, importSetID, importRunHistory) { this.computerSysID = computerSysID; this.swID = swID; this.importSetID = importSetID; this.log = new GlideImportLog(“SCCMSoftwareReconciler”); this.log.setImportRunHistory(importRunHistory); }, |
This might just come in handy.
