I have this code snippet;
// The following script (or variant thereof) can be used in
// /sys.scripts.do or in a server-side script to determine
// the current shard for a table.
printCurrentShard('sysevent');
function printCurrentShard(pTableName) {
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_table_rotation');
if (pTableName) {
gr.addQuery('name', '=', pTableName);
}
gr.query();
while (gr.next()) {
try {
var tre =
Packages.com.snc.db.replicate.TableRotationExtensions.get();
var extension = tre.getExtension(gr.name);
var tablename = extension.getTableName();
} catch (e) {
gs.print('Error getting current shard for table ' + gr.name);
} finally {
gs.print('The current shard of table ' + gr.name + ' is ' + tablename);
}
}
}
