Bringing active directory user data into help desk tickets
Hello -
I'm trying to bring data from the user information pulled from active directory into our tickets. In this example, location. I have the info pulling into org1.user.location and that user is setup as U2 in the selection and can reference that data, but I can't seem to apply it to an update queury.
SELECT HD_TICKET.*,
HD_STATUS.NAME AS STATUS_NAME,

HD_IMPACT.ORDINAL as IMPACT_ORDINAL,
HD_CATEGORY.ORDINAL as CATEGORY_ORDINAL,
HD_PRIORITY.ORDINAL as PRIORITY_NUMBER,
STATE,
if((datediff(DUE_DATE, now()) = 0), 2, if((datediff(DUE_DATE, now())<0), 1, 3)) as SORT_OVERDUE_STATUS,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_OPENED) > 0, TIME_OPENED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_OPENED,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_STALLED) > 0, TIME_STALLED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_STALLED,
if(unix_timestamp(TIME_CLOSED) > 0, TIME_CLOSED, 1<<62) as SORT_TIME_CLOSED,

case upper(STATE)
when 'CLOSED' then unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_CLOSED) - unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_OPENED)
when 'OPENED' then unix_timestamp(NOW()) - unix_timestamp(HD_TICKET.TIME_OPENED)

and HD_TICKET.HD_QUEUE_ID = 21
update HD_TICKET
set HD_TICKET.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE4 = U2.LOCATION
where
(HD_TICKET.ID in (<TICKET_IDS>))
************
Always returns unknown table with whatever I throw in the SET. I've tried many different names, org1.user.location, org1.u2.location, etc, tried to select for it, and tried to left join it, but have not been successful. Should be what Im hoping is a simple question for someone who knows mysql better than me!
Best,
Tim

I'm trying to do this also, but for any user who submit a ticket through the service desk. Any help? - jpierre@ra.org 10 years ago

we're only pulling data if it is coming from LDAP, otherwise for *any* user just getting email address and name (believe that is system designed) - tholmes 10 years ago

I was able to fix it. It works!! thanks. - jpierre@ra.org 10 years ago

The query needs to identify both the ticket id and the location it should look something like this:
update HD_TICKET, USER U2
set HD_TICKET.CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUE4 = U2.LOCATION
where
U2.ID = HD_TICKET.SUBMITTER_ID
AND
(HD_TICKET.ID in (<TICKET_IDS>))
