	eg.  scanContext.input.projectSysID
- To pass variables from the one script to another script use varSpace in scanContext.
	eg.  scanContext.varSpace.variable1 = '...';
*/
(function(scanContext) {
    try {
        var errorTasks = [];
        var encodedQuery = scanContext.input.projectFilter;
        var now_GR = new GlideRecord("pm_project");
        gr.addEncodedQuery(encodedQuery);
        gr.query();
        while (gr.next()) {
            var entitySysID = gr.getValue("sys_id");
            var projectData = new ProjectData(entitySysID);
            var projectTopTaskValidator = new ProjectTopTaskValidator(projectData);

            if (projectTopTaskValidator.tasksWithInvalidTopPortfolioPresent()) {
                var failedTasks = projectTopTaskValidator.getTasksWithInvalidTopPortfolio();
                if (failedTasks && failedTasks.length) {
                    for (var i = 0; i < failedTasks.length; i++) {
                        errorTasks.push(failedTasks[i].sys_id);
                    }
                }
