round-robin auto assignment?

Would like to auto assign incoming "sales" tickets amongst users in the
"sales" group. I imagine that's possible with an On-Create but I'm not sure
what that code would look like.

Has anyone already invented this wheel?

Re: round-robin auto assignment? [In reply to]

The scrip needs to figure out the last ticket created in the
queue, figure out who it was assigned to, and then assign
to the next person in a list that is also stored in the
scrip.

Here is a start but there may be subtle bugs:

my @owners = qw( george sam bill fred ); #could create a group for this
push(@owners, @owners);

my $tickets = RT::Tickets->new($RT::System);
$tickets->LimitQueue(VALUE => 'my queue');
$tickets->LimitId(VALUE => $Ticket->Id, OPERATOR => '!=');
$tickets->OrderBy( FIELD => 'id', ORDER => 'DESC' );
my $last_ticket = $tickets->First;
my $last_owner = $last_ticket->Owner->Name;

my $i = 0;
my $new_owner;

while (1) {
if ($owners[$i] eq $last_owner) {
$new_owner = $owners[$i+1];
$Ticket->SetOwner($new_owner);
last;
}
}

Re: round-robin auto assignment? [In reply to]

Condition: On Create
Action: User Defined
Template: blank
Stage: TransactionCreate

I pasted what you had into "Custom action prep code" . Its a scrip just
for a particular queue. I'm seeing the following error:

[Wed Dec 15 23:35:51 2004] [error]: Scrip 57 Prepare failed: Global symbol
"$Ticket" requires explicit package name at (eval 2222) line 6.
Global symbol "$Ticket" requires explicit package name at (eval 2222) line
17.
(/opt/rt3/lib/RT/Action/UserDefined.pm:65)

What's the right way to reference $Ticket?

my @owners = qw( mrz jstein vzwick ); #could create a group for this
push(@owners, @owners);

my $tickets = RT::Tickets->new($RT::System);
$tickets->LimitQueue(VALUE => 'my queue');
$tickets->LimitId(VALUE => $Ticket->Id, OPERATOR => '!=');
$tickets->OrderBy( FIELD => 'id', ORDER => 'DESC' );
my $last_ticket = $tickets->First;
my $last_owner = $last_ticket->Owner->Name;

my $i = 0;
my $new_owner;

while (1) {
if ($owners[$i] eq $last_owner) {
$new_owner = $owners[$i+1];
$Ticket->SetOwner($new_owner);
last;
}
}

Re: round-robin auto assignment? [In reply to]

I forgot to change 'my queue' to something more meaningful. However, I
don't think this scrip is even being called. Here's my log output:

Re: round-robin auto assignment? [In reply to]

I've done a little more work on this with Chance (scrip below). We're
getting the following error with $Ticket:

[Tue Dec 28 21:45:58 2004] [error]: Scrip 57 Prepare failed: Global symbol

24.
syntax error at (eval 2333) line 24, near "->SetOwner[."

How do I refer to the current ticket?

if (!($isSet)) {
$Ticket->SetOwner[int(rand($#owners))];

You have to iterate the collection of tickets.

while ( my $Ticket = $tickets->Next ) {
...
}

Why? You mean I have to re-search the queue to find the ticket I'm in the
midst of creating?

That's seems like a horribly complicated method to get the current ticket's
object.

Hey, that was it. But I guess now I'm missing one other piece of data -
currentuser?

Re: round-robin auto assignment - DONE [In reply to]

Thanks to everyone who helped with this. The working scrip is below. If
the last owner isn't one of the owners to round-robin through, a random
owner is picked. Ideally, @owners would be an RT group and somehow
magically work, but that's for the next rev.

my @owners = qw( 752 82040 ); # need to grab id from Users table
push(@owners, @owners);

my $tickets = RT::Tickets->new($RT::SystemUser);
$tickets->LimitQueue(VALUE => 'Sales'); # my queue, yours may differ
$tickets->LimitId(VALUE => $self->TicketObj->Id, OPERATOR => '!=');
$tickets->OrderBy( FIELD => 'id', ORDER => 'DESC' );
my $last_ticket = $tickets->First;
my $last_owner = $last_ticket->Owner;

my $i = 0;
my $isSet = 0;
my $new_owner;

foreach $i ( @owners) {
if ($owners[$i] == $last_owner) {
$new_owner = $owners[$i+1];
$self->TicketObj->SetOwner($new_owner);
$isSet = 1;
}
}
