Automatically create a problem record from incident volume
Use case: Automatically create a problem record if a specific Configuration Item (CI) is associated with more than a certain number of incidents within a defined timeframe. 
Code snippet
This code can be placed in a Scheduled Script Execution or an After Insert Business Rule to check new incidents
Identify the oldest active incident for each assignment group. This helps managers focus on long-running tickets that may require special attention.
This example searches a JSON document for all developers listed under the specified path.
Identify inactive users who still have unresolved incidents. This helps with offboarding processes and ensures incidents aren't left unattended.
This Business Rule runs 'before' a record is deleted from the 'sn_compliance_policy' table.
 
Its purpose is to prevent a policy from being deleted if it is currently linked to any active controls.

This helps maintain data integrity and prevents the creation of orphaned or invalidated compliance records.

Thank you for your contribution. However, it doesn't comply with our contributing guidelines.

As a reminder, the general requirements (as outlined in the CONTRIBUTING.md file) are the following: follow the folder+subfolder guidelines and include a README.md file explaining what the code snippet does.

Validation errors:

Folder structure violations found:
 - Move 'Server-Side Components/Business Rules/Prevent Retirement of Policy with Active Control objectives' under a valid folder hierarchy (Category/Subcategory/Use-Case/your-file). Files directly inside 'Server-Side Components' or its subcategories are not allowed.
