SSJS Update Query Definition object to “update”

Question

The intent is to update the TargetUpdateType property of a QueryDefinition object using SSJS. (reference)

The following SSJS is outputting an error response to the QueryDefinition.Update() function:

<script language="javascript" runat="server">
    Platform.Load("core", "1");

    var QD_TestAudienceSend_ExternalKey = "qd-testaudiencesend"; 

    var qd = QueryDefinition.Init(QD_TestAudienceSend_ExternalKey);
    var update_status = qd.Update({TargetUpdateType: "update"});

</script>

update_status: <ctrl:var name=update_status />

Code referenced.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Your code is fine, However SSJS is a case-sensitive language so only change you have to do to pass TargetUpdateType in ProperCase format.

<script language="javascript" runat="server">
    Platform.Load("core", "1");

    var QD_TestAudienceSend_ExternalKey = "qd-testaudiencesend"; 
    var qd = QueryDefinition.Init(QD_TestAudienceSend_ExternalKey);
    var update_status = qd.Update({TargetUpdateType: "Update"});
</script>


update_status: <ctrl:var name=update_status />

Output: update_status: OK
