The getCurrentChangeRequest operation retrieves a single Change_Request record from ServiceNow. You must pass in the table name of the record you want to retrieve and a Change Request must be present in the deployment or utility step to use this operation. It is not suitable for deployment through a release.
This operation is probably best suited for projects that require a Change Management Ticket. In other cases the ticket will not be found.
This operation will return a result that is an array with one record in it.
You must configure at least one ServiceNow Instance to use this operation.
Version 4.6.0.2 or newer of FlexDeploy is needed to use this operation.
