SNOW-CAD GlideRecord Practice Question

A developer needs to create a scheduled job that runs every Monday at 8 AM to update all incidents with a priority of '1' that are still open. Which condition script should be used in the scheduled job?

⚠ Common exam trap

The trap is to select B because it also appears to filter correctly; however, in a single-select item the expected best practice is to use chained addQuery calls for programmatic queries rather than an encoded query string.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

var gr = new GlideRecord('incident'); gr.addQuery('priority', 1); gr.addQuery('active', true); gr.query();

D is correct because it uses chained addQuery calls on a GlideRecord for the incident table to filter priority=1 and active=true, then executes the query to retrieve all matching records. Option A incorrectly uses GlideAggregate, which is intended for aggregation, not record retrieval. Option C incorrectly uses get with two arguments, which retrieves a single record and does not combine multiple conditions. Option B uses addEncodedQuery, which could produce the same results, but the single-answer item expects the standard programmatic approach using addQuery.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
var gr = new GlideAggregate('incident'); gr.addQuery('priority', 1); gr.query();
Why it's wrong here
GlideAggregate is for aggregation, not for retrieving or updating records.
✗
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident'); gr.addEncodedQuery('priority=1^active=true'); gr.query();
Why it's wrong here
addEncodedQuery can be used with an encoded query string, but it is not the expected single-answer choice for a programmatic GlideRecord query.
✗
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident'); gr.get('priority', 1); gr.get('active', true);
Why it's wrong here
get() with field-value arguments retrieves one record and does not combine multiple conditions.
✓
var gr = new GlideRecord('incident'); gr.addQuery('priority', 1); gr.addQuery('active', true); gr.query();
Why this is correct
Correct: chained addQuery calls retrieve all incident records with priority 1 and active true.
