Ticket Rule - Query and email work, update fails

My intent is to capture when the person assigned as the Approver in a ticket changes the approval status to Approved then, set a new Approver (known already) set the Approval to 'none' and, send the new approver an email notification. My query captures the appropriate change and notifies the new approver via email but doesn't update the Approver and Approval fields.

The update statement works fine when run with a wizard made query that just looks at category and status, which leads me to believe I have a valid update statement, it just doesn't execute on the ticket this query captures. NOTE - the run log shows adding the ticket comment, but it does not.

 

Any suggestions would be most welcomed. Thanks

 

**select**

SELECT *,
HD_TICKET.ID as TICKNUM, -- $ticknum
'work.email@work.com' AS NEWTICKETEMAIL, -- $newticketemail

JOIN USER U2 on U2.ID = HD_TICKET.SUBMITTER_ID

AND HD_CATEGORY.NAME like 'Data Center%'
AND HTCF.FIELD_CHANGED='APPROVAL'
AND HTCF.AFTER_VALUE='approved'
AND HD_TICKET.APPROVER_ID NOT LIKE '3791'

 

**Update**

update HD_TICKET, USER as T5
    set HD_TICKET.APPROVER_ID = T5.ID,
HD_TICKET.APPROVAL = 'none'
  where T5.ID = '3791' and
        (HD_TICKET.ID in (<TICKET_IDS>))

  • This is an On Ticket Save rule - left that part out. - jmarotto 10 years ago
  • Have you tried turning on the option to send the query results to you in email? Sometimes it helps to see what KACE is returning when it runs the rule. - chucksteel 10 years ago
  • Thanks for the suggestion Chuck, I had not done this. Unfortunately it doesn't provide any additional information. I get the same results running the query in workbench. sigh - my love-hate relationship with mysql continues ;) - jmarotto 10 years ago
  • Hmm. Your SQL query would seem to find tickets where the approver isn't 3791 (HD_TICKET.APPROVER_ID NOT LIKE '3791') but then your update query only wants to update tickets where the approver is 3791. That seems like a mismatch. - chucksteel 10 years ago
  • Oddly enough the update works when this query is used in the rule. But it's a very broad capture of tickets and I was trying to capture a fairly narrow target.
