# GlideImportSetTransformer - Scoped, Global

The GlideImportSetTransformer API provides methods to create an Import Set Transformer object used to execute an Import Set Transform.

To execute an Import Set transform:

1.  Create an Import Set table using the GlideImportSetTable API.
2.  Create a Transform Map using the GlideImportSetTransformMap API.
3.  Create or use an existing Import Set using the GlideRecord API.
4.  Execute an Import Set Transform using the GlideImportSetTransformer API.

Once you have created the Import Set record it must be consumed by the GlideImportSetTransformerAPI in order to trigger the transform.

```
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
transformer.transformAllMaps(importSetGr); 
```

|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

```
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
```

## GlideImportSetTransformer - getImportSetRun\(\)

Gets the Import Set Run object associated with a GlideImportSetTransformer object.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|GlideImportSetRun|GlideImportSetRun object created by running a transformation or the argument supplied to the setImportSetRun\(\) method.|

```
var importSet = new GlideRecord('sys_import_set');
importSet.short_description = 'Import set from scripted rest api';
importSet.table_name = importSetTableName;
var importSetID = importSet.insert();
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
transformer.transformAllMaps(importSet);
var importSetRun = transformer.getImportSetRun();

```

## GlideImportSetTransformer - isError\(\)

Returns a Boolean value specifying whether or not there was an error during a transformation.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|None| | |

<table id="table_jnr_wvq_xjb" class="returns"><thead><tr><th>

Type

</th><th>

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

Boolean

</td><td>

Flag that indicates whether there is an error.-   true: Error.
-   false: Success.

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>```
var importSet = new GlideRecord('sys_import_set');
importSet.short_description = 'Import set from scripted rest api';
importSet.table_name = importSetTableName;
var importSetID = importSet.insert();
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
transformer.transformAllMaps(importSet);
if(transformer.isError()) {
	gs.error('Error executing the transform');
}
```

## GlideImportSetTransformer - setImportSetID\(String id\)

Associates an Import Set record with a specific GlideImportSetTransformer object.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|id|String|The sys\_id of an Import Set record from the Import Sets \[sys\_import\_set\] table.|

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|void| |

```
var importSet = new GlideRecord('sys_import_set');
importSet.short_description = 'Import set from scripted rest api';
importSet.table_name = importSetTableName;
var importSetID = importSet.insert();
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
transformer.setImportSetID(importSetID);
transformer.transformAllMaps(importSet);

```

## GlideImportSetTransformer - setImportSetRun\(GlideImportSetRun importSetRun\)

Associates an Import Set Run object with a specific GlideImportSetTransformer object.

|Name|Type|Description|
|----|----|-----------|
|importSetRun|GlideImportSetRun|GlideImportSetRun object representing the ImportSetRun record to track the transformation history.|

|Type|Description|
|----|-----------|
|void| |

```

importSet.short_description = 'Import set from scripted rest api';
importSet.table_name = importSetTableName;
var importSetID = importSet.insert();
var importSetRun = new GlideImportSetRun(importSetID);
var transformer = new GlideImportSetTransformer();
transformer.setImportSetRun(importSetRun);

```

## GlideImportSetTransformer - setLogger\(GlideImportLog log\)

Associates a GlideImportLog object with a specific GlideImportSetTransformer object.
