QueryTask.inboundDependencies

Property Description

Key-value pairs that contain information about the dependent tasks added to the query task.

Use this property to verify the properties of dependent tasks after you add the tasks using QueryTask.addInboundDependency(options).

This property uses nested objects to store information about each dependent task. A nested object is included for each dependent task added to the query task, and these objects are referenced by their index (starting at 0). Dependent tasks are indexed in the order they are added to the query task. Each nested object contains the task type, script ID, script deployment ID, and script parameters.

For example, consider a situation in which you add a scheduled script task and a map/reduce script task to a query task as dependent tasks. After you add the dependent tasks but before you submit the query task using QueryTask.submit(), the value of the QueryTask.inboundDependencies property is similar to the following:

                    {"0": {"type":"task.ScheduledScriptTask", "scriptId":"customscript_as_ftr_ss", "deploymentId":"customdeploy_ss_dpl", "params": {"custscript_ss_as_srch_res":"SuiteScripts/ExportFile.csv"} },
"1": {"type":"task.MapReduceScriptTask", "scriptId":"customscript_as_ftr_mr", "deploymentId":"customdeploy_mr_dpl", "params": {"custscript_mr_as_srch_res":"SuiteScripts/ExportFile.csv"} }
}

After you submit the query task, the IDs of the dependent scripts are added to the QueryTask.inboundDependencies property:

                    {"0": {"type":"task.ScheduledScriptTask", "id":"SCHEDSCRIPT_0168697b126d1705061d0d690a787755500b046a1912686b10_349d94266564827c739a2ba0a5b9d476f4097217", "scriptId":"customscript_as_ftr_ss", "deploymentId":"customdeploy_ss_dpl", "params": {"custscript_ss_as_srch_res":"SuiteScripts/ExportFile.csv"} },
"1": {"type":"task.MapReduceScriptTask", "id":"MAPREDUCETASK_0268697b126d1705061d0d69027f7b39560f01001c_7a02acb4bdebf0103120b09302170720aa57bca4", "scriptId":"customscript_as_ftr_mr", "deploymentId":"customdeploy_mr_dpl", "params": {"custscript_mr_as_srch_res":"SuiteScripts/ExportFile.csv"} }
}

Important:

The following code sample shows the syntax for this member. It is not a functional example. For a complete script example, see N/task Module Script Samples.

            // Add additional code
...
// Be sure to use a script ID that represents a scheduled script in your account
var myScheduledScript = task.create({
    taskType: task.TaskType.SCHEDULED_SCRIPT,
    scriptId: 'customscript_as_ftr_ss'
});

// myQueryTask is an existing task.QueryTask object
myQueryTask.addInboundDependency(myScheduledScript);
...
