Consult with ServiceNow before performing these steps. Recompiling can resolve some issues but may make it difficult to determine the root cause.

Beginning with the San Diego release

To recompile a flow, run this script:

var compiledSuccessfully = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('scope.my_flow_name').compile(); This is the same as:

var compiledSuccessfully = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('scope.my_flow_name').compile(false); To force a recompile even if not needed, run this script:

var compiledSuccessfully = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('scope.my_flow_name').compile(true); To recompile a subflow, run this script:

var compiledSuccessfully = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('scope.my_subflow_name').compile(); To recompile an action, run this script:

var compiledSuccessfully = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().action('scope.my_action_name').compile(); Prior to the San Diego release

To recompile a flow or action without modifying content in releases prior to San Diego, run the following script. Use the sys_hub_flow table name for flows or sys_hub_action_type_definition table name for actions. The recompilation occurs the next time the flow runs.

gr = new GlideRecord(' '); // TODO add your query here gr.query(); while (gr.next()) { // this won't impact Kingston action/flows which didn't have a master snapshot if (JSUtil.nil(gr.getValue("master_snapshot"))) continue; gr.setValue("latest_snapshot", gr.getValue("master_snapshot")); // setWorkflow(false) so this won't go in updateSets gr.setWorkflow(false); gr.update(); }
