Scheduled data import scripting options

Multiple JavaScript objects are available in the Scheduled Data Import Pre script and Post script fields.

Object	Description	Example
cancel	Set this object to true to stop the import action.	Use the Pre script field to evaluate the conditions of the import and determine whether to cancel the import process. To cancel the import process, use the following call:`cancel = true;`
import\_set	Get the GlideRecord object for the new import set. This variable allows you to query the following columns from the sys\_import\_set table:- number - sys\_id - state - table\_name	If you want to use information from the import set, you can specify one of the properties of the import\_set variable. `var x = import_set.number;`
data\_source	GlideRecord of the data source to be used for the scheduled import.	Typically, you define the data source with the Scheduled Data Import record. If you want to access this data source or modify the data source in certain conditions, you can use the following. `data_source.import_set_table_name = 'new_set_from_scheduler'; data_source.update();`
