<# .SYNOPSIS Export table records to a file .DESCRIPTION Export table records in csv, xml, xls, xlsx, or pdf format. You can filter, sort, and choose specific properties to include in the report. Only basic authentication is supported. Export configurations, eg. row limit, can be found at System Properties->Import Export. .PARAMETER Table Name of the table to be queried, by either table name or class name. Use tab completion for list of known tables. You can also provide any table name ad hoc. .PARAMETER Id Either the record sys_id or number. If providing just an Id, not with Table, the Id prefix will be looked up to find the table name. .PARAMETER Property Return one or more specific fields otherwise all fields will be returned .PARAMETER Filter Array or multidimensional array of fields and values to filter on. Each array should be of the format @(field, comparison operator, value) separated by a join, either 'and', 'or', or 'group'. For a complete list of comparison operators, see $script:ServiceNowOperator and use Name in your filter. See the examples. .PARAMETER Sort Array or multidimensional array of fields to sort on. Each array should be of the format @(field, asc/desc). .PARAMETER Path Path to output file including the file name. File extension must be either .csv, .xml, .xls, .xlsx, or .pdf. .PARAMETER ServiceNowSession ServiceNow session created by New-ServiceNowSession. Will default to script-level variable $ServiceNowSession. .EXAMPLE Export-ServiceNowRecord -Id RITM0010001 -Path .\out.pdf Export a specific record by number .EXAMPLE Export-ServiceNowRecord -Table incident -Filter @('assigned_to.name', '-like', 'greg') -Path .\out.xlsx Export incident records where the assigned to user's name contains greg .EXAMPLE $filter = @('state', '-eq', '1'), '-and', @('short_description','-like', 'powershell'), '-group', @('state', '-eq', '2') PS > Export-ServiceNowRecord -Table incident -Filter $filter -Path .\out.pdf Export incident records where state is New and short description contains the word powershell or state is In Progress. The first 2 filters are combined and then or'd against the last. .EXAMPLE Export-ServiceNowRecord -Table 'Incident' -Filter @('opened_at', '-between', (Get-Date).AddMonths(-24), (get-date).AddMonths(-12)) -Path .\out.pdf Export incident records that were opened between 1 and 2 years ago .EXAMPLE Export-ServiceNowRecord -Table incident -Filter @('state', '-eq', '1') -Sort @('opened_at', 'desc') -Path .\out.pdf Export incident records where state equals New and sort by the field opened_at descending .LINK https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-user-interface/page/use/navigation/task/navigate-using-url.html .LINK https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-platform-administration/page/administer/exporting-data/task/t_ExportDirectlyFromTheURL.html#t_ExportDirectlyFromTheURL #> function Export-ServiceNowRecord { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Id')] Param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Table', Mandatory)] [Alias('sys_class_name')] [string] $Table, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Id', Mandatory, Position = 0)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'Table')] [ValidateScript( { if ($_ -match '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{32}$' -or $_ -match '^([a-zA-Z]+)[0-9]+$') { $true } else { throw 'Id must be either a 32 character alphanumeric, ServiceNow sysid, or prefix/id, ServiceNow number.' } })] [Alias('sys_id', 'number')] [string] $ID, [Parameter()] [Alias('Fields', 'Properties')] [string[]] $Property, [Parameter()] [System.Collections.ArrayList] $Filter, [parameter()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.Collections.ArrayList] $Sort, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateScript({ $allowedExts = '.csv', '.xml', '.pdf', '.xls', '.xlsx' if ([System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($_).ToLower() -in $allowedExts ) { $true } else { throw ('File extension must be one of {0}' -f ($allowedExts -join ', ')) } })] [string] $Path, [Parameter()] [hashtable] $ServiceNowSession = $script:ServiceNowSession ) process { $newFilter = $Filter if ( $Table ) { $thisTable = $Table } if ( $ID ) { if ( $ID -match '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{32}$' ) { if ( -not $thisTable ) { throw 'Providing sys_id for -Id requires a value for -Table.
